Falls at Green Meadows—the residential development under construction in the former location of Green Meadows Golf Course—is scheduled to open its first section to home builders by late April, according to the Friendswood Development Company.

The community will eventually cover about 242 acres, some of which include the golf course, said Tim Fitzpatrick, community development manager for the company. Located within the City of Katy at Avenue D and Franz Road, Falls at Green Meadows can accommodate more than 460 homesites ranging from 60–70 feet wide.

Lakes, green space and a recreation complex are also planned for the area.

"Initially, Lennar Homes and Meritage Homes will be building in the community on 70-foot-wide lots," Fitzpatrick said. "We anticipate that Village Builders and another builder—to be determined—will join the building program in 2014 as development progresses."

Home prices are anticipated to range from upper $200,000 to the upper $300,000s, he said, and residents are zoned for Katy Elementary, Katy Junior High and Katy High School.

"We were attracted to this site due to its location within Katy, its easy access to I-10, Katy ISD schools, and the abundant recreation facilities located nearby," Fitzpatrick said.
