This Land Correspondent Urban chemical engineer Tony Potter grew up on a farm in the Midwest, away from the inner-city traffic and noise. Now with his children out of the house, he and his wife have decided to recapture that spirit of living on the land with the purchase of acreage in White Oak Estates near The Woodlands. The location is only three miles away from a mall, so we don't loose any contact with whatever we need. So the family is familiar with the area's numerous amenities.
Potter is like a lot of people who want to enjoy the elbow room acreage living allows.
There is a growing trend to move out of the city into smaller communities that offer an easier lifestyle, but near city amenities. We noticed a trend in that people wanted to get out of Houston and on a larger homesite, something larger than what a typical subdivision would give them. Since we first came here and developed one community, we now have six more acreage communities in the Houston area. Broussard said customers also want flexibility. They want to have room for a horse, if they desire, and a large yard for children.
