New Home Development Program
The City of Houston works with community partners to create new, high-quality single-family homes for residents that can be purchased at affordable prices. Most of our work is achieved through the New Home Development Program. This partnership with the Houston Land Bank and Houston Community Land Trust helps build individual homes in key neighborhoods across Houston. Select projects are also taken on to create new master-planned communities and homes.

- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident

Towne Park Village is a 36.04-acre master-planned community that will include 173 single-family homes, a proposed daycare center, and several open green spaces. Towne Park will take design cues from traditional Houston neighborhoods such as Montrose and the Museum District. Homes, streets, and parks will be connected to make the community walkable and human-centric.
The developer of Towne Park Village is Towne Park Development, and homes are built and sold through two companies. Information for purchasing these homes can be found on their sites:
