Tavola

Friendswood Development Company has acquired 1,560 wooded acres located seven miles north of Kingwood which is now the location of the new master-planned community of Tavola.

The first phase of the community is now complete in Tavola, which includes the entry lake and the first sections of home sites.   The initial phase of Tavola offers homes priced from the $200,000s to the $300,000s on 50-foot, 55-foot and 65-foot wide home sites. Lennar, Perry Homes, and Lakewood Homes are the neighborhood's home builders. Future sections will include 75-foot wide home sites and patio homes. Additional building programs will be considered as the community progresses.  

“The name Tavola is derived from an Italian word meaning table or gathering place "said Michael Johnson, Friendwood Development Company. “We believe the name Tavola perfectly describes our newest community which will appeal to a variety of new-home buyers from across the Houston area as well as those relocating to Houston. With the diversity of building programs planned, the prime location and great amenities, Tavola will be a community that everyone from young residents to those enjoying their retirement years will be proud to call home.”

Amenities include a recreation center with a pool, park and clubhouse and miles of wooded greenbelt trails that will wind throughout the community which is located in the New Caney Independent School District. Tavola Elementary School, which opened in the 2015-2016 school year was constructed in the heart of the community. 

With immediate access to US 59, Tavola is very convenient to major employment centers including the Greenspoint Business District, downtown, and Bush Intercontinental Airport. Additionally, Tavola will be the second exit north of the intersection of the future Grand Parkway and Hwy. 59. This segment of the Grand Parkway was completed in Fall, 2015 and offers Tavola residents easy access to the entire north Houston area including the new Exxon Mobil campus.

The East Montgomery County Chamber Beautification Committee presented Tavola with the group's Beautification Award for 2015 - read more here.
