It's been a while since I have posted an update on The Village of Creekside Park and I thought it was about time to. The last post I did Creekside had just opened, they were still working on infrastructure and only a couple of builders were out there.

One of the first things that many clients ask when they are Relocating to the Houston area is "What about The Woodlands? What is it that makes it so Attractive to Home Owners?" I think if you asked every Home Owner in The Woodlands why they love it there, you may get that many different answers. There are so many things to appreciate here. It starts with the Trees as you drive in, the endless amount of Shopping Centers and Medical Facilities but that is only the beginning. Add on 8,000 acres of Greenspace, 135 Holes of Golf, multiple YMCA Facilities, First (3 comments)
Keeping You Posted...My Home Energy Usage Reduction - 03/30/08 08:11 AM
Everyday it seems that Green is becoming more and more mainstream for Home owners so I thought I would take this time to update everyone on my Home Energy Usage Reduction over the past 9 months. Some of you remember my Insulation Experiment where I had a company come out and and Blow in Dry Cellulose to R-38 in my attic last June? Well, that was the beginning of Greening up my home. I tracked some of my Usage Reductions on AR, but I wanted to compile everything... On top of Insulation, I also changed out the Light Bulbs that I use most in (14 comments)
Amazing Green Secret In Houston, TX - 03/30/08 07:39 AM
If you search long enough, sometimes you can find out the most amazing Green Secrets around. This one I did not really search for, but I was SHOCKED when someone told me about this. :) In Houston we have to worry about our Cooling Bills. As a matter of fact I heard one time that our Air Conditioners account for up to 80% of our Electricity usage monthly. Even in December we turn on our A/C sometimes. With Utility Rates on the rise Houston is longing to become a little more Green. Many people are doing this by trying to get their home (7 comments)
Green is Red Hot in Houston! But...Who is REALLY Green? - 03/12/08 11:41 AM
Green Building is growing around the Nation like Wildfire! Houston is by no means an exception to this growth. Green seems to be the thing to talk about around here, and the term used by someone last week was Cocktail Conversation. No doubt that folks are hopping on the bandwagon and advertising GREEN Products. I heard a statistic the other day that researchers expect consumers to be just as apt to purchase a product advertised as 'GREEN' as they would one advertised 'FREE' over the next few years. With that said, we can see how powerful GREEN is right now. BUT, that brings up another (16 comments)
