Howard Hughes Corp. marked a milestone at The Woodlands Hills, its newest Houston area community, and was recently recognized for strong sales at two others.

The Woodlands Hills, the Dallas-based developer's first community to be developed from scratch, has sold 101 homes since opening one year ago. Located on FM 830 North in the Conroe/Willis area, The Woodlands Hills has opened a 10,600-square-foot indoor/outdoor activity center within the 17-acre Founders Park.

The park has a yoga lawn and an event lawn, fitness center and a community pool with a lazy river, lap lanes, sunning decks and shade structures. Amenities in the 2,000-acre community include tennis courts, a dog park, connected hiking trails and dedicated bike lanes along the major thoroughfares.

"The Woodlands Hills continues to offer new homes from renowned builders while providing added recreation for a healthy lifestyle," Heath Melton, Hughes' senior vice president of master planned communities, residential development, said in an announcement.

Century Communities, Chesmar Homes, Gehan Homes, Highland Homes, K. Hovnanian Homes, Ravenna Homes and Westin Homes sell homes in The Woodlands Hills. Prices range from $230,000 to more than $500,000.

In Cypress, northwest of Houston, the 11,400-acre Bridgeland was one of two Hughes communities to make a national list of top sellers at midyear.

Bridgeland jumped to the No. 11 spot nationwide for sales at midyear after selling 351 homes, according to housing information firm RCLCO. The 35 percent rise, up from 260 sales at midyear in 2018, made it the top-selling community in the Houston area.

Since opening in 2006, Bridgeland has grown to 3,500 homes and 11,000 residents. The community, which includes 3,000 acres of lakes, parks and trails, has developed less than 25 percent of land that can be sold for developments to date, according to Hughes. It's planned for 65,000 residents upon completion.

The company's Summerlin, a Las Vegas-area development with 100,000 residents, ranked No. 3 on the RCLCO list after posting 675 sales through midyear. Summerlin encompasses 22,500 acres, of which 6,000 remains to be developed, according to Howard Hughes. The development has more than 250 neighborhood and village parks, 150 completed miles of trails, 25 public and private schools, 10 golf course and a number of churches and business parks.
