Castle Hill Partners is developing a 1,373-acre residential community along the recently completed northeast section of Grand Parkway near Lake Houston Wilderness Park and New Caney.

The master-planned community, dubbed The Trails, will include more than 2,000 homesites, an expansive amenity village, land for a future elementary school and 600 acres of contiguous undeveloped land for recreational use, according to a news release.

The development is coming to a part of the Houston metropolitan area experiencing significant growth. The Lake Houston area grew by more than 44,000 residents, or 15.2%, from 2016 to 2021.

Students living in The Trails would attend Huffman Independent School District schools. Campuses in that district total about 3,600 students, the news release says, but that enrollment could triple within a decade, as the district expects about 6,000 additional students by the 2032-2033 school year.

The development follows the completion of new infrastructure, as the Grand Parkway segment in the area opened last year. The community will be at Plum Grove Road, for which an expansion heading north into the community is scheduled to start later this year.
