The first phase of the subdivision, near the intersection of Alton Gloor Boulevard and Paredes Line Road in Brownsville, is a gated community built around resacas. 

Renderings for the subdivision’s first phase show 44 homes, a clubhouse with a gym, swimming pool, pickleball and basketball courts, a dog park, community park, and walking trails. Future phases are expected to have 134 lots overall. At least half a dozen lots for single-family homes have already been sold, according to the developer’s website. 

Home prices range between $260,990 and $317,990 depending on the model, which includes single-story and two-story homes with either 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, or 4-bedroom layouts between 1,725 square feet and 2,472 square feet.
