Houston’s PremiereDeveloper: FriendswoodDevelopment CompanyFor more than 40 years, Friendswood Development Company has been creating and perfecting the concept of the master-planned community. Today, Friendswood Development Company offers communities spanning from the north to the south areas of the Houston market, with prices ranging from the low $100,000s to more than $1 million.

The developer of Houston’s very first master-planned community - Clear Lake City - Friendswood Development Company introduced Houston area homebuyers to amenities such as greenbelt trails, pocket parks and recreation centers - amenities that are still a part of each Friendswood Development Company community.

Locations that feature highly acclaimed schools, surrounding conveniences and easy access to major roadways, enhance communities such as Fairfield, Village Creek, WindRose, Lakes of Savannah, Lakemont and Kingwood. And although each location offers a different look and feel all its own, they share in their outstanding master plan created for residents today and genera-tions to come.

Quality development is the foundation of any home.
