Grand Magnolia - Magnolia, TX

Grand Magnolia is a large master-planned residential development spanning approximately 2,755 acres along FM 1488 west of Highway 249. Its defining feature is a planned Crystal Lagoons amenity village with white-sand beach areas and water-based recreation. The development is planned to accommodate more than 6,900 families at full buildout, with multiple homebuilders participating in its phases. Buyers should distinguish amenities already available from those still under construction and confirm the details of the specific neighborhood and home collection they are considering.

HOMES

Grand Magnolia offers new single-family homes from multiple builders, including Lennar, Long Lake, Colina Homes, DRB Homes, and others. Lennar’s published plans range from approximately 1,100 to 3,308 square feet, while other builders advertise larger plans. Recent Lennar listings show prices starting in the low $200,000s, with higher-priced collections reaching the $400,000s. Pricing, floor plans, and move-in dates vary by builder and collection, so prospective buyers should confirm current availability directly with the relevant sales team.

AMENITIES

The community plan dedicates more than 100 acres to an amenity village, lakes, trails and green space. The planned Crystal Lagoons area is expected to include white-sand beaches, kayaks, paddleboards, a beach volleyball court, an activity lawn and shaded hammock areas. Plans also identify a resident clubhouse and fitness center. Builder listings separately advertise amenities such as a swimming pool, splash park, playground, parks and walking trails. Because development is ongoing, buyers should ask which facilities are open and which remain under construction.
