Elyson ranks among nation’s Top 50 communities, with lots to come in 2023
Once again, Elyson ranks among the Top 50 master-planned communities (MPCs) in the U.S. for new-home sales in an annual survey from RCLCO, a national real estate consulting firm.
A total of 362 new homes were sold in Elyson in 2022, a major contribution to Houston’s overall success as the nation’s top metropolitan area for new home sales. Overall, Houston MPCs including Elyson accounted for nearly 1 in 5 sales on the Top 50 list.
Elyson marked several milestones in 2022, including welcoming our 2,000th homeowner since opening in 2016. With a master plan for approximately 6,000 single-family homes, we’re now roughly one-third of the way toward completion.
Here’s a quick look back at more 2022 highlights and a look ahead at what’s to come in 2023.
- Elyson added to its onsite school offerings last year with the opening of Harmony School of Excellence – Katy. This high-performing, tuition-free charter school has a 26-acre campus at Elyson, with plans to add middle and high school levels in the near future.
- Elyson opened new recreational amenities including Elyson Commons, a 145-acre park with a great lawn, outdoor fitness circuit, pooch playground, wildflower meadow and more.
- New retail opened at Elyson in 2022, including a major new shopping center anchored by a first-of-its-kind Target store and smaller retail centers offering businesses including a veterinarian, dentist, bakery and dance academy.
- Exciting new developments coming in 2023 include Lakeside Landing, a major new community center for the community. Located along the shores of a new 31-acre lake, Lakeside Landing will offer a clubhouse, covered event pavilion, swimming pools, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, and much more. It will anchor a new phase of Elyson’s development on the north side of FM 529, where hundreds of new homesites will be opened in 2023 and beyond.
More new Katy ISD schools are coming for Elyson students, with the district planning to open a K-12 tri-campus beginning in 2023. Located at Longenbaugh Road and Katy-Hockley Road, the tri-campus borders Elyson on our south and east sides. Youngblood Elementary (Elementary #45) will open in August 2023, with Junior High #18 and High School #10 both planned to open in August 2024.
