    The explosion of Newstonians from the West Coast and more locals looking for quality-of-life options, more Houstonians are choosing nature-focused living.

    With that in mind, a new waterfront development offers an active lifestyle in growing Montgomery County along Lake Conroe. The bespoke project, appropriately dubbed Lakeside Conroe, is a build-to-rent (BTR) community promising 169 single-family detached homes and 140 duplexes ranging from 1,979 to 2,426 square feet.

    In what’s sure to lure potential residents looking for a fulltime residence or weekend getaway, some homes will boast waterfront and views of Lake Conroe.

    This project (located just north of Highway 105 on Crescent Cove Drive in Montgomery), is the latest from Texas-based builder Wan Bridge, which has also spearheaded two bustling developments: Clearwater at Balmoral and Palm Bay Galveston.

    Homes at Lakeside Conroe include floor plans of either four bedroom/3.5 bathrooms or three bedroom/2.5 bathrooms. Interiors feature 10-foot-high ceilings, open floor plans, oversized closets and bathrooms, and energy efficient appliances.

    Planned onsite amenities include a community park, a boat dock, a pavilion, benches, and walking and biking trails, according to a press release.

    Developers are targeting residents looking for waterfront home living without the stresses of homeownership; management provides all yard landscaping, air filter replacement, 24-hour property service, and even light bulb changing, according to press materials.

    As for the aforementioned quality of life options: Lakeside Conroe neighbors myriad recreational areas, including Sam Houston National Forest and eight golf courses. Walden on Lake Conroe a short, six-minute drive. Margaritaville Lake Resort, also nearby, provides a resort-style getaway option.

    “When evaluating the Lake Conroe area, we noticed a strong need for a neighborhood that offers high-end, long-term, single-family residential rentals,” said Ting Qiao, CEO of Wan Bridge, in a statement. “Our fast-growing and consumer-approved build-to-rent concept fills an important niche for those preferring to rent but want the space, yard and other benefits of living in a home, with all the home maintenance chores being taken care of. We believe that you do not have to own to call it home, and we are looking forward to offering residents a new option in Conroe.”

    Country star Miranda Lambert lists Texas childhood home for $1.6 million

    Miranda Lambert's childhood homestead, at 18621 Country Rd. 477, in Lindale, Texas is for sale.

    The 25-acre childhood homestead of country music star Miranda Lambert — whose popular ballad “The House That Built Me” very well could apply to the Grammy winner’s upbringing — is on the market in East Texas for nearly $1.6 million.

    According to Mansion Global, Lambert and her parents, Beverly and Rick, have listed the estate nearly 30 years after the family bought the main residence there.

    She and her family moved into the house when she was 14 years old. Lambert lived there till age 21, when she relocated to the adjacent “pink house,” which she purchased with money from her first big record deal.

    Lambert still owns the “pink house,” and her parents have vacated the primary home but still own everything except their daughter’s house, Mansion Global reported. The property is in Lindale, about 120 miles east of Fort Worth.

    The main attractions at the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, 103-year-old property are its two cottage-style homes, stocked three-acre pond, and shooting range.

    “The main residence showcases hardwood flooring, built-in cabinetry, textured walls, and vintage details that add character throughout,” says the listing from Lee Trowbridge of Compass. “Light-filled living spaces connect naturally to porches, decks, and courtyard areas, offering comfortable transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.”

    The second home offers views of the pond and its own outdoor areas.

    The property, an old dairy farm at 18621 County Road 477, also includes:

    • A soaking tub in the primary bathroom.
    • An outdoor kitchen.
    • A brick courtyard.
    • A warehouse.
    • A shop with a bathroom and living quarters.
    • Three RV hookups.

    “Experience this rare opportunity to enjoy land, water, multiple residences, and a piece of music history in a setting that feels both quiet and connected,” the listing says.

    Part of Lambert’s music history is the 2009 song about “The House That Built Me,” which Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin originally wrote for her first husband, country music star Blake Shelton.

    When you read some of the lyrics of that tune, you can picture a young Lambert at the Lindale home:

    I know they say you can’t go home again

    I just had to come back one last time

    Ma’am, I know you don’t know me from Adam

    But these handprints on the front steps are mine

    Up those stairs in that little back bedroom

    Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar

    And I bet you didn’t know under that live oak

    My favorite dog is buried in the yard

    Lambert maintains strong ties to her hometown. There, she owns the Pink Pistol boutique, located on Miranda Lambert Way, according to Mansion Global. The tasting room for Red 55 Winery, which Lambert and her family started in 2005, is attached to the boutique.
