Cinco Ranch is Ranked Number One

Cinco Ranch is Ranked Number One
There was only one way Cinco Ranch could possibly improve on its ranking as the nation’s number two community for new-home sales last year – by moving up to the number one spot. And that’s exactly what we did! With almost 900 new homes sold in 2009, Cinco Ranch is the number one ranked community in the nation, according to a new study just released by RCLCO, a national real estate advisory firm. One of the few communities on RCLCO’s Top 10 list with positive sales growth, Cinco Ranch was number one by a wide margin. While the accolades are great, we give the credit to our new homeowners, our longtime residents, and our loyal Realtor friends. We couldn’t be number one without you!

Can you say "Taekwondo" in Spanish?

There's probably not a word for it, but you can learn to say everything else in Spanish, and also enjoy stress-reducing activities such as Taekwondo and yoga, at The Lake House in Cinco Ranch.
These are just a few of the popular activities offered by CincoLife, the community service organization that helps put even more life into Cinco Ranch. There are also cooking classes, art lessons for kids and adults, Zumba classes, Movies in The Park, and special events celebrating everything from Easter and Father’s Day, to July 4th and Back to School. Most activities are free, although a few require a nominal fee. For a list of upcoming activities, visit our community Intranet www.MyCincoRanch.com.
If this sounds like a lot of fun, we can't take all the credit. CincoLife could be called "CincoListens," because some of our best ideas come from Cinco Ranch residents!

10 Cinco Ranch schools on "Higher Performing Schools" list

Ten of the 13 Katy ISD schools serving Cinco Ranch students are included in the 2009 Just for the Kids Higher Performing Schools list compiled by the National Center for Educational Achievement. Just released, the list is based on academic growth among schools with similar demographics.
Cinco Ranch schools included on the list were Seven Lakes and Cinco Ranch high schools; Beck, McMeans and Beckendorff junior high schools; and Rylander, Kilpatrick, Exley, Griffin and Fielder elementary schools. Because the NCEA reviews three years of test data to create the list, some of the newer schools in Cinco Ranch were not eligible for inclusion. Overall, 22 Katy ISD campuses made the list. Way to go Katy ISD!
Twelve of the Katy ISD schools serving Cinco Ranch have Exemplary ratings, the highest possible accreditation rating from the Texas Education Agency.*

More reasons to shop and eat at LaCenterra

As if anyone needed more reasons to have fun at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, here are two fresh ones: Crazy 8 and Las Alamedas are joining the more than 50 stores, eateries and services already open at this Main Street style lifestyle center.
Crazy 8, from Gymboree, promises "great kids" fashions at crazy low prices.” Las Alamedas, relocating from its longtime home at I-10 and Voss, will serve up its delicioso "Mexican food with passion" in a spacious new 7,600-square-foot restaurant overlooking Heritage Square, LaCenterra's central courtyard.
These great new attractions join a growing LaCenterra family that already includes Ann Taylor LOFT, Starbucks, Eddie Bauer, an Aveda Spa…and one very special "store" you won’t find anywhere else in the world…

Simply Cinco makes home shopping, well, simple

That one-of-a-kind "store" in LaCenterra is our own Simply Cinco, the official new-home information center for Cinco Ranch. You won’t find many information centers located between a Starbucks and a Panera Bread, as we are, and that’s just the beginning of the Simply Cinco difference. Whether you are looking for a community map, or just attracted by the scent of fresh-baked cookies from our kitchen, we hope you’ll drop in. There’s no “sell” here – just a warm welcome from our friendly representatives who want to help make your home shopping experience a little easier.

Westheimer Road. Texas History

Westheimer Road

Nothing says more about a city than its names Westheimer Road

Is named after Mitchell Louis Westheimer (1831-1906). He came to Texas from Germany in 1859 and bought 640-acres of farmland, which became known as the Westheimer Plantation residence on the site of the present Lamar High School. With his wife he raised sixteen children: eight of their own, three orphans, and five children of relatives.

In the 1860s Westheimer built a school on his farm for the children of the area. He was a hay merchant and owned a flourmill, and also it was him who laid the first streetcar tracks in Houston. In the
1880s Westheimer opened the Houston Livery Stable. His nephews formed the Westheimer Transfer and Storage Company in 1883, which is still in operation today. The Westheimer family was active member of the oldest synagogue in Texas, the Congregation Beth Israel.

In 1895 Westheimer dedicated a portion of the land from his plantation to Harris County to provide right-of-way for a short-cut road to Columbus and Sealy. This road was denominated Westheimer Road and runs west from near downtown Houston over thirty miles to Fulshear. It is the longest major thoroughfare in Texas.
