Grand View Builders

As the winter holidays are quickly approaching, we’re thinking about how to bring joy to homes that are less fortunate. So, we’ll be featuring one way to give every day this week in a blog series called ‘Help a Houston Home’! Here’s the first giving opportunity we’re featuring this week!

2 BR/1 Bath Foster Glen Floorplan

There’s a new neighborhood on the GVB block! We’re excited to announce the Foster Glen home community in Conroe. Homes are affordable, functional, comfortable, and in a prime location near the lake.  Have you always wanted to live near the lake so you could take a dip in the summer or have beautiful settings surrounding you? Now you can – for being so close to the water, prices are ideal ranging from the $90,000′s to $140,000. Multiple floorplans, including 2 BR/1 Baths, 3 BR/2 Baths, and 4 BR/2 Baths, are the foundation of this desirable community. Nearby schools are Conroe ISD, Runyan Elementary, Travis Intermediate, Washington Junior High, Conroe High School.

Have a lakefront lot you’s like to build on? No problem! With our Build on Your Lot program and our comprehensive Design Center, we can help you build the lakeside home you’ve been waiting for. Contact Jan at (936) 777-9777 to learn more about this community or to schedule a visit.

The weather’s feeling cool outside, and we’re just about 3 weeks away from Turkey Day! It’s no doubt you have your family traditions for this turkey-licious day full of thanks. But, we thought we’d give you some ideas for events and ways to celebrate in Houston this holiday season. Maybe you’re entertaining out of town guests, or maybe your family is ready for a break from the kitchen for a change. Here are some ways to celebrating out of the home, in the home, and even help others who are without a home this year.

Shopping for homes can be like shopping for shoes. You have to make sure the home matches your style, your home can tell a lot about you, you need to be comfortable in it, and you must make sure it fits your lifestyle and your needs. So, who says we can’t have a Fall Sale on homes? And what’s even better? They’re ready for you to move in TODAY! (okay, well, maybe tomorrow).

Here’s part 1 of our listing of our Move in Ready Homes that are ready to go during our Fall Sale so we can start building new ones! To see one of our on sale homes, contact us here or by phone at 281-741-8946 to set up a tour time!
