A premier location, exquisite homes, excellent schools. Decidedly private, yet easily accessible to Houston's Central Business District and other major employment corridors, the Houston master-planned community of Riverstone benefits from its location in Fort Bend, one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, and its convenience to Houston, the nation's fourth-largest city and one of its most exciting metropolitan centers.
Riverstone’s enviable location places Houston new homes within easy reach of an abundance of local attractions and events including a state park, a growing network of community parks, award-winning museums, an acclaimed observatory, two junior colleges and a satellite campus of the University of Houston. Local boutiques, national chains, a host of great restaurants, medical and banking facilities and other service establishments are within minutes of home, including First Colony Mall and Sugar Land Town Square. And, less than 30 minutes away are Houston’s world-class ballet, opera, theater, museums, art galleries, sports arenas and shopping and dining adventures galore.
According to the Greater Fort Bend Economic Development Council, Fort Bend County continues to lead the region due to a successful formula of quality development, demographic diversity, educational excellence, infrastructure sufficient to sustain growth, pro-business economic development, and public/private participation and vision. All major economic indicators rose during 2007, with a 10.3 percent surge in market values, plus increases in retail sales, labor force and job availability. With growing commercial development, more people can both live and work in Fort Bend County, minimizing the need for long commutes. Fort Bend also leads the region in population growth rate and education level, with 39 percent of the adult population having earning a bachelor’s degree or higher.
