I haven't checked all the new neighborhoods but do not move into the Montgomery County Floodplain. Our Health Department has allowed sand-mines to install pond-levees for hazardous blue-chloride that was washed out of sand. The obstruction north of River Plantation is 1500ft across the center of the floodway. The county is suing these mines for dumping the excessive salts into Lake-Houston. People need to be aware that these industrial floodway obstructions can raise the water beyond the 500 year floods in less than 90 days & the county requires 3-5+ years to sue, though by then the mine is sold & the owner retired. .
Thank you so very much for this wonderful, amazing, and informative video. Infinite Gratitude. Is it correct to assume that the areas in Montgomery County are the best options to buy a good house? I love so many of the master planned communities. I narrowed down my list of favorites and it is 16. After watching this video I created a new list which is 8 now. Does Bridgeland, Cypress and Woodson's Reserve, Spring have a major flood risk? They were in my previous list and I crossed them out since it seems that the higher northern areas are probably the wisest choices to be made such as Magnolia, Montgomery, Conroe, Willis, and Porter. I live in Toronto, Canada with my Husband and we 100% desire to move to North Houston. Would it be wise to buy some Acreage lands plus a house in a good master planned community? The Acreage Communities do not have a deadline on building your house right away as long as you own the land you can build when you want? Am I right? Once again, thank you very much. Your efforts for making your videos and sharing your knowledge with us is deeply and greatly appreciated. Thank you. God Bless.
Hello and thank you for the kind words. As far as Bridgeland and Woodsons's Reserve, neither carry more flood risk than any other on the list, and the risk is minimal. Those not from here often have questions about areas that flood but often it is not full areas that are in danger of flood risk, but specific streets within those sections. There are rivers, streams, and bayous all over the Houston area that have potential to overflow during heavy rains. Sometimes there are streets that are close to that overflow and they would be labeled on flood maps in the 100 year or 500 year flood plain. All of the master plan communities have taken this into consideration and usually don't build within those areas. The Highlands for instance leaves the section next to the san jacinto river as nature preserve, so it might flood at times but there wont be any houses built there. I have clients in both Bridgeland and Woodson's Reserve and they are great communities. I'd be happy to help you come up with a strategy for finding property. Please send me an email at jeff@jeffwestproperties.com at your convenience and we can discuss further.
This so wonderful and our school district is the main reason I moved here. They're amazing out in Montgomery!!
Yes they are!
