Parkway Villages, a development begun by Sueba in the early 90s, is a cluster of gated enclaves just south of Buffalo Bayou. Situated on about 200 acres between Eldridge Parkway and Highway 6, Parkway Villages offers the amenities of a master-planned community while fostering a sense of intimacy through its small gated areas the Villages.

Houston's best homebuilders are represented here. From patio homes to lavish estates, all homes are elegant, and visitors delight in their architectural pleasures: majestic porticos, covered verandas, libraries, wine cellars.

At the upper end of the price spectrum are Lakes of Parkway and Enclave Lake. Lakes of Parkway, a Kickerillo development, is a gated community of luxury homes boasting nine lakes, a recreation center with a pool and tennis courts, and 24-hour on-site security. Homes range in style from patio and villa to luxury single-family homes and large custom estates priced at $2,000,000 and above. Enclave Lake is a small gated area of 54 custom estate homes surrounding a lake with a beautiful 18-foot waterfall. These exquisite homes were built by some of Houston's finest builders, including Bayou Bend, Carmichael & Dame, Creative Castles, and Period Classics.

On a slightly less grand scale, there are many other impressive choices, including the gated communities of Maplewood Park, a community of 46 home sites, and Laguna Springs, an intimate 17-home enclave. There are also the popular Village Builder patio home developments of The Retreat and The Courts, offering luxurious, low-maintenance living on a more compact scale.

Equally as distinctive is the Trendmaker community of Tracewood Park and the enclaves of Charlton Park and Sienna Cove, featuring homes built by D.R. Horton. Madera Vista, Briarstone Park, and Parkway Estates offer yet more choices in style, price and fine amenities.

The children of Parkway Villages attend the highly sought after westside schools of Houston Independent School District. The elementary school is Barbara Bush Elementary, and older children attend Westside High School. West Briar Middle School is scheduled to open fall of 2002.

It's easy to understand the popularity of the community. Terry Hershey Park borders the area to the north-so close, many residents couldn't imagine a sunny day without the popular park's eight picturesque miles of hiking, biking, and jogging trails. The area also enjoys a close proximity to Lakeside and Royal Oaks country clubs, West Oaks Mall and Town and Country Shopping Village, and is bordered to the south by Westheimer Road, Houston's principle axis of world-class dining and shopping.

This quality development combines an appealing location and the conveniences of Houston's west side with the exacting architectural standards and luxurious construction of its homes, making Parkway Villages a top choice for many Houston families.
