Southern Trails
Southern Trails is a 523-acre (212 ha) master planned community located west of State Highway 288 in Pearland, Texas, United States.
Developed by Ashton Woods, Newmark Homes, Taylor Morrison, Coventry Homes, and Perry Homes, the neighborhood includes a recreation center with a kitchen and fitness center, a junior Olympic pool, two kiddie pools, playgrounds, ten lakes, miles of hike & bike trails, and parks & picnic pavilions. 80 acres (320,000 m2) of green space have been reserved for lakes and walking trails. Southern Trails is located close to the Texas Medical Center, Pearland Town Center, Downtown Houston, and Reliant Park. It is planned to have almost 1,400 home sites at full build-out.
Southern Trails' architectural style and community layout makes it distinct from many of the other planned communities in the surrounding area. As stated on its website: "The grand entrance heightens the sense of privacy and prestige. The architectural dynamics immediately impress, from the classic clubhouse, to the Arts & Crafts-style light standards that accent the roads, pathways and trails that meander throughout the community."
As of February 2012, the current active builders are Ashton Woods Homes, Newmark Homes Houston, Taylor-Morrison, Coventry Homes, and Perry Homes. Ashton Woods, Coventry, and Perry Homes are the builders in main section of Southern Trails (east of Kingsley Drive). Taylor-Morrison and Newmark Homes are the builders in the Enclave at Southern Trails (west of Kingsley Drive).
The original builders in Southern Trails included David Weekley Homes, Trendmaker Homes, Imperial, and Trophy.
David Weekley built out all their existing lots by 2008, and then stopped operations in Southern Trails.
Trendmaker Homes built out all their existing lots by 2009, and then stopped operations in Southern Trails.
Imperial Homes filed for bankruptcy in the late summer of 2009. They stopped building in Southern Trails. Their existing lots were sold to Ashton Woods, Coventry, and Perry Homes.
Newmark Homes Houston was formed in the summer of 2009 after buying the Newmark brand name from TOUSA. TOUSA had been struggling in bankruptcy proceedings for several years, and in 2009 finally decided to close operations in Texas. Newmark Homes Houston is now a local Houston-area building company.
