Sienna is a 10,000-acre master-planned community in Missouri City, Fort Bend County, and it’s where I’ve lived since 2018. It is the most thoroughly documented community on this site.

Aliana, Richmond

Aliana is a 2,000-acre master-planned community in Richmond with something neither Sienna nor Riverstone has: an H-E-B and a Target inside the community. Over the last 12 months, 81 homes sold at a median of $575,000, or $185 per square foot, in a median of 25 days. It also sits in unincorporated Fort Bend County, so residents pay no city property tax.

Austin Point, Richmond

Austin Point is the newest and most affordable of the Fort Bend communities I cover. It is a 4,700-acre Signorelli development, the largest announced in the county in decades. Over the last 12 months 74 homes sold at a median of $414,987, or $165 per square foot. Note it is zoned to Lamar Consolidated ISD, not Fort Bend ISD, and homes take far longer to sell here at a median of 108 days.

The George, Richmond

The George is the newest Richmond community I cover, a 1,500-acre Johnson Development planned for about 4,000 homes at FM 2977 and Koeblen Road in 77469. Sales opened in June 2026 with eight builders on Tribute Circle, and published starting prices ran from $359,990 to the $600s on September 4, 2026. It is zoned to Lamar Consolidated ISD, not Fort Bend ISD, and no amenity is open yet.
