For the first time ever, Sierra Vista/Sterling Lakes has landed on one of the esteemed lists of the 50 top-selling communities in the nation!

Housing research firm Robert Charles Lesser & Co. (RCLCO) publishes an annual mid-year report ranking master-planned communities by the number of homes sold. We placed at No. 29.

Rankings are determined by the previous year’s sales. Sierra Vista/Sterling Lakes builders recorded 216 sales during the first six months of the year. Last year our builders sold 156 homes. That’s a 67 percent increase and a lot of new neighbors.

Overall, sales in the top 50 master-planned communities rose by 16 percent. Only true master-planned communities that reflect a comprehensive master plan incorporating a variety of housing types, sizes, prices, shared common space and amenities are included on the list, according to RCLCO.

There are a number of reasons homebuyers are drawn to Sierra Vista. Our location 20 minutes from downtown Houston offers an easy commute to the office and the city’s many attractions.

Buyers are spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a builder to craft their dream home. Nine builders offer homes in Sierra Vista, ensuring an exceptional range of floor plans and elevations priced from the $200s.

Amenities are a major attraction and our community provides many ways to play. Residents have access to recreation options in both Sierra Vista and our sister community Sterling Lakes including a Jr. Olympic pool, Splash Pad Texas Water Park and fitness center and more.

Much of what makes our community special comes down to our amazing developer, Land Tejas — one of the most innovative and prolific developers in Texas. Three of our sister communities also made the list. Balmoral in Humble placed at No. 12 with 409 home sales. Ranking at No. 37 was Harmony in Spring with 235 sales. Lago Mar in Texas City placed at No. 45 with 216 sales.
