Rolling hills are the main attraction in Friendswood Develoment Company's newest master-planned community offering new homes in Conroe - appropriately named Graystone Hills. Houston's most established and well-known development company is expanding its growing portfolio to include the North Houston Conroe area. Located off Longmire Road just west of the intersection of Interstate 45 and Loop 336 in Conroe, Graystone Hills is a 331-acre development enhanced by topography that includes rolling hills and bluffs. New homes are priced from the $190,000s to the $600,000s and include single-family homes, patio homes and estate homes. Builders include Lennar, D.R. Horton, Village Builders, Gallery Custom Homes and Trendmaker Homes. "The average homesite size in Graystone Hills is five to 10 feet wider and 10 to 20 feet deeper and larger than typical homesites in other master-planned communities" said Tim Fitzpatrick, Community Development Manager for Graystone Hills. "This is in order to implement strict tree preservation requirements that retain the heavily forested environment in the community." Amenities include a nature preserve, greenbelt trails, community park and lodg- style recreation center with a pool. Located minutes from the property are several golf courses, restaurants and retail centers. Graystone Hills is served by the TEA Exemplary-rated Conroe Independent School District, and children will attend Giesinger Elementary which borders the property and Harold Cryar Intermediate, which is within walking distance; Peet Junior High and Conroe High School are also just minutes away. The estimated number of homesites planned for the community is approximately 780.
