Today we’d like to introduce you to Somerset Green.
Great, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
In 2013, Hines purchased a 46-acre land parcel and announced it would develop Somerset Green, Houston’s first guard-gated, master-planned community inside the 610-Loop. Since then, we have partnered with five premier builders—Coventry Homes, Darling Homes, Pelican Builders, Riverway Homes and Toll Brothers—to create a community where residents feel worlds away in the heart of the city.
In 2018, Somerset Green was named Community of the Year by the Greater Houston Builder’s Association and is proud to offer a new level of inner-loop living. Our high-end gated community offers a convenient, lock-and-leave, low maintenance lifestyle with amenities unique to urban living. The European-style neighborhood evokes an intimate living experience with elegant single-family homes overlooking walkable streetscapes, water canals, lush landscaping, a playground, dog parks, a resort-style pool and alfresco gathering spaces. Our residents have created a close-knit neighborhood in which they often enjoy happy hours on one another’s rooftop terraces, under one of the pergolas along the canals or by the resort-style pool overlooking the lake.
Our unique location offers quick and easy access to I-10 and 610 making it easy to get to downtown, the Galleria and more in just minutes. Residents also enjoy proximity to the hottest restaurants and shopping in town with the Heights, Washington Corridor and Uptown just around the corner.
Hines master planned the site, designed and built the infrastructure, and our five premiere builders all feature sales centers and/or model homes on site open seven days a week to make it easy on your busy schedule to stop by and learn more. With exquisite detail and architectural features, all homes offer a combination of elegance and legendary craftsmanship with modern sophistication. Additionally, our builders have created open, customizable floor plans with fabulous smart home integrations to allow buyers to truly create the home of their dreams, serving individual needs and preferences. We truly feel like we have created an in-town oasis, unlike anything before seen inside the loop.
