In Houston and surrounding areas, the Real Estate Market has experienced only a slight “shift” in sales.  The number of closed transactions for the same periods in 2008 versus 2007 and 2006 show a decline of 5 to 10%, but the average prices have held in most areas for those homes.  For more information, and to see how you can best sell and buy in this market, please visit my website. 

  

What makes Pecan Grove Plantation so Special?  It’s that “hard to find ” sense of Community.  We have it in abundance!  This Beautiful Golf Course Community Neighborhood is tucked away off the Main Highways, but just minutes from 3 major transit arteries such as Hwy 90A, Hwy 99 Grand Parkway, and the Westpark Tollway.

From just starting out, to moving up, and then scaling down again they all stay within the bounds of Pecan Grove’s 1500+ homes.  From Patio Homes with Golf Course Views, to sprawling Homes of Distinction, it’s all here and connected by generously wide streets to a generous range of retail, restaurant, grocery, services, and club.

Our Top-Notch Homeowner’s Association provides Neighborhood Services such as Holiday Lighting Contest and Display, Fourth of July Fireworks and Flags, Holiday Wreaths, Spring Egg Hunt, Lost Pet Service, and Community Bulletin Board.

LOW, Low Taxes and HOA Dues make this neighborhood one of the most affordable neighborhoods in Fort Bend County.  By comparison a Social Membership at the Pecan Grove Country Club for 12 months works out to less than several area neighborhood HOA Dues. And, Best of All, It’s Optional.

Pecan Grove also boasts of 2 School Districts that provide 3 exemplary Elementary schools, 2 Middle Schools, and 2 High Schools with many gifted programs.  Our local schools log some of the highest volunteer hours per campus year after year.  Parent Volunteers provide many site-based enrichment programs to enhance the District Curriculum. 

Local Sports Leagues utilize area parks, pools, gyms, and ball fields for practice and competition.  Our Local Belin Field is host to 2 Terrific Youth Football League Teams: The Hurricanes and The Gators.  Saturday Morning Games in the fall draw hundreds of families to the field to enjoy football, cheerleaders, and full concession.  Nationally Recognized Lamar Little League also draws hundreds of players and families to the beautiful George Park Ball complex  in every season.  Lamar and FFPS Soccer Leagues host local parades and many levels of soccer play. Division Champs, Pecan Grove Pirahnas Swim Team, is sponsored by the Pecan Grove Country Club and attracts 200-300 spectators every Monday Night in June and July.  Pecan Grove has plenty to attract the Sports Enthusiast. 

Pecan Grove is a neighborhood where people walk the levee trails, bike, and ride golf carts to the neighborhood grocery, coffee shop, and parks.  Far from the bustling traffic of Metro Houston, residents find they Live Better For Less.  It’s more than a neighborhood, it’s Home.
