Legend Homes announced its entrance into Wayside Village, a new community in northeast Houston. Wayside Village features a wide range of floorplans and offers easy access to Hwy 59/I-69 and I-610 and convenient proximity to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Houston METRO bus stops, making it an ideal community for a variety of buyers. 


Homes within this new community vary by style and size, including 1- and 2-story homes from 1,337 to 2,125 square feet with prices starting from the mid-$240s. The community officially opens for sales in September 2024. 


"This new community is intentionally designed to accommodate a diverse array of household budgets," Legend Homes Vice President of Sales in Houston Daniel Banes said. “We’re thrilled to be able to provide a high-quality product to buyers looking to live in this rapidly developing region of northeast Houston.” 


Wayside Village is neatly situated between Houston’s inner and outer loops, making it ideal for commuting throughout the metropolitan area. It is zoned to Houston ISD and is a short drive to area schools. It is less than 30 minutes from downtown Houston, Texas Medical Center, and IAH. 


Wayside Village includes several onsite amenities tailored to appeal to homebuyers. These features include everything from a children’s playground and picnic pavilion to walking trails that encircle the community. Residents can travel further northeast to reach Sheldon Lake State Park and Lake Houston, approximately 10 and 15 miles away, respectively. 


"Between its convenient location, the smartly designed homes, and budget-friendly pricing, there are a lot of reasons to be excited about Wayside Village," Banes said. "Homebuyers are going to love this community." 


The community opens with an exclusive REALTOR® Preview event on Thursday, Sept. 5, while buyers can begin making appointments on Saturday, Sept. 7. Legend Homes will host a public grand opening event on Saturday, Sept. 21. 


Buyers can visit the community’s model home at 8003 Vanilla Orchid Drive Houston, TX 77016, Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. and Monday, 1–6 p.m.
