\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter breaking ground in 2025 on two new neighborhoods in Humble, officials with developer Saratoga Homes<\/a> said construction will likely continue over the next two years.<\/p>\n

The big picture<\/p>\n

Saratoga Homes began work<\/a> on Townsen Landing in early 2025 followed by Harmony Cove in the fall. Upon completion, the two neighborhoods are expected to bring a combined over 500 homes to the city of Humble, said Rick Rivas, division president of Saratoga Homes in Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited for both subdivisions,\u201d Rivas said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming and the city of Humble has been great to work with. I think we\u2019re the only new construction [homes] they\u2019ve seen in a long time so we\u2019re excited to be building partners for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located near the Humble Civic Center<\/a>, Harmony Cove<\/a> is a three-phase single-family home development that features 144 lots in the first phase and more than 400 lots upon build-out. Meanwhile, Townsen Landing<\/a> is located near Deerbrook Mall<\/a> and will feature a mixture of townhomes and single-family homes with 148 total lots.<\/p>\n

Zooming in<\/p>\n

To abide by city ordinances and flood plain guidelines, Rivas noted the homes in Townsen Landing are uniquely designed to be flood-resistant as the first floor of each house is a \u201cTexas basement\u201d\u2014a garage or storage space that is designed to hold water in case of flooding\u2014with livable space beginning on the second floor. Rivas noted the only other Greater Houston-area neighborhood where he\u2019s seen a similar design is Meyerland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main purpose is to make sure that the home itself cannot receive any damage\u2014the livable space\u2014that\u2019s our main focus because that\u2019s where the biggest expense comes in for a lot of homeowners,\u201d Rivas said. \u201cSo by elevating the homes, you don\u2019t have to have flood insurance if you don\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next<\/p>\n

Rivas said by August, the developer expects to have closed 60-70 homes in Harmony Cove and is currently working with city officials to start work on Phase 2.<\/p>\n

In Townsen Landing, Jack Bombach\u2014also a division president of Saratoga Homes in Houston\u2014said a dog park will be installed soon and an amphitheater is planned for the future.<\/p>\n
