Johnson Development Plans ‘Best of the ‘Burbs’ Tour

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Johnson Development is opening the doors to more than 100 models throughout the Houston area — including nearly 40 in the north Houston area — during a “Best of the ‘Burbs” home tour April and May.

Homes will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. Admission is free. In addition to touring model homes filled with the latest design trends, eventgoers can also tour any available homes in the community. Several communities will also be hosting public events. People who prefer to tour virtually can do so at www.HoustonHomeTour.com.

“Many of the model homes on the tour reflect what today’s buyers are looking for in home design — efficient workspaces, relaxing outdoor areas and multi-functional rooms for entertaining,” said Christen Johnson, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Johnson Development. “And for those looking to move this year, our builders have a number of available homes to view. Serious buyers should not hesitate, though, homes are selling quickly.”

The three north Houston communities include Amira in Tomball, Grand Central Park in Conroe and Woodforest in Montgomery.

Amira, which offers 370 acres in Tomball just north of the Grand Parkway, will have six model homes open by builders Beazer Homes and Perry Homes. Amira is known for vast amenities, including The Resort at Amira, a luxurious clubhouse anchored by a resort-style pool. A model home scavenger hunt will be held during April. In addition, visitors can stop by The Resort at Amira 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays in April to play games and purchase food truck fare. Details can be found at www.amiratexas.com.

Grand Central Park — a 2,046-acre master-planned community in Conroe with authentic hiking trails, expansive natural lakes and wooded serenity — will have 12 model homes open for touring. The community will host a Jazz Fest 1-5 p.m. Saturday, April 30. Visit www.grandcentralparktx.com for details.

Woodforest, a 3,000-acre development located seven miles west of Interstate 45 in Montgomery County, will have 19 models open during the Best of the ‘Burbs home tour. Woodforest boasts a growing commercial district, pools, parks, playgrounds, trails, sports courts and more. The public is invited to the Light It Up Blue event 6-9 p.m. Saturday, April 2, in support of families touched by autism. On Saturday, April 9, people can return to Woodforest for The Great Garden Festival happening from noon to 3 p.m. For details, visit www.woodforesttx.com.
