JORDAN RANCH

And great New Year memories are not limited to just family. Friends and New Year’s Day are blessings, too! The last time I truly turned back the clock and stayed up nearly all night was January 1st, 2016. Nancy and I met dear Fort Bend County friends at the Grand Canyon. The Marcells (Debbie and Marvin) and the Humphries (Lynne and Rod) were waiting for us on the stunning South Rim. That night, the New Year’s party was rocking! Nancy, Debbie and Lynne out-partied Marvin, Rod and me. We almost started 2016 by losing our “man cards!” Luckily, the beauty of a brisk hike all over the South Rim restored our reputations. Friends make us Fort Bend Strong!

My final thoughts on New Year’s Day: Resolutions are important, but family transcends all personal goals. Every minute of every day of every year spent with your family is a gift from Heaven. Celebrate together. That’s my resolution for 2022! It has already started.

Please share your New Year’s stories of family and friends with me at pete@ absolutelyfocusmedia.com – so I can share them with others. Happy 2022! If we keep politics out and family in, we will always be Fort Bend Strong!

The Olson Family: Pete, Maisy, Kate, Mamie, Grant and Nancy Olson.

Jordan Ranch Adds More Than 400 Lots

Jordan Ranch recently increased its number of developed homesites by nearly 40 percent with the release of 415 properties this fall.

The new sections accommodate a wide assortment of home designs, with lot sizes ranging from 40-foot to 70-foot wide.

“We will continue with our current mix of homesites, adding in 40-foot lots that will add even more variety and choices of homes,” said Steve Sams, General Manager of Jordan Ranch.

Current builders in Jordan Ranch — Chesmar Homes, David Weekley Homes, Highland Homes, J. Patrick Homes, Lennar, Perry Homes and Westin Homes — will continue offering existing series of floor plans in the new sections. Perry Homes has introduced new home designs for the 40-foot homesites. A new pocket park is also planned.

Sams said he expects sales to begin in the new sections started in early December.

The new neighborhoods are along the newly opened Texas Heritage Parkway, which bisects Jordan Ranch. Texas Heritage Parkway is a 6.4-mile north/south thoroughfare connecting the Westpark Tollway to Interstate 10.

“We were very excited to see the opening of Texas Heritage Parkway and all of the conveniences it brings to Jordan Ranch residents,” Sams said. “Parents have an easy trip to take their children to and from school, and all residents can quickly get to either the Westpark Tollway or Interstate 10, which is just a mile away.”

Jordan Ranch students attend schools in the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District. Amenities in Jordan Ranch include a resort-style pool with a lazy river, playgrounds, a clubhouse, a fitness center, lighted tennis courts and trails. One and a half acres in the community is designated for vegetable plots and orchards at the Sunset Farm. Residents can purchase farm produce at the farm stand each Saturday, as well as participate in a farm club, attend classes and volunteer on the farm.

Homes in Jordan Ranch are priced from the $300,000s.
