Summerwood, a wooded, master-planned community at Beltway 8 and W. Lake Houston Parkway in the Humble Independent School District, was one of the first Houston communities to debut the concept of a one-stop Model Home Village.Recently, to showcase a growing variety of home builders and new-home designs, Summerwood celebrated the opening of its second Model Home Village.Summerwood also opened a new Information Center in the Model Home Village, to provide visitors with details on schools, area shopping, and the more than 200 acres of recreational amenities offered in this 1,500-acre community.While the Model Home Village is designed to bring all of Summerwood's new-home offerings together in one place, the new community's new Information Center has been designed to deliver the Summerwood experience outside of its four walls. The information center will continue to offer the same welcoming and informative environment, and there will be a new emphasis on the staff spending more time in the community, interacting with home shoppers and residents in the model homes, amenities and at special events, said Kayla Webb, marketing director for Newland Communities.Summerwood also looks forward to the opening of a new on-site middle school in August, and a new on-site H-E-B store this fall.The new middle school, which includes a future YMCA campus, will be the second Humble ISD school to open in Summerwood. Summerwood Elementary School, also on site, has received the highest possible accreditation rating from the Texas Education Agency, exemplary. Summerwood students also attend Summer Creek High School, which opened last year directly across Beltway 8 from the community.The Summerwood master plan devotes more than 200 acres to amenities including nature preserves, three community centers, 17 acres of lakes, neighborhood parks, and miles of greenbelt trails.
