    Just southwest of Houston, in flourishing Fort Bend County, is a new master-planned community that prioritizes fun both in and out of the neighborhood.

    Emberly offers homes beginning in the $200s, along with a future amenity village that will include a clubhouse, resort-style pool, waterpark/splash pad, playground, dog park, and pickleball courts.

    The full-time Lifestyle Director also plans year-round resident activities like happy hours, community picnics, social club meet-ups, and holiday events that span Santa, the Easter Bunny, Fourth of July, and more.

    You may never want to leave the neighborhood, but you'll also be pleased to know that Emberly is surrounded by tons of options for eating, drinking, entertainment, and nature. Here's what's close by:

    Shuttered Corpus Christi Schlitterbahn will become $800M seaside community

    The former site of Schlitterbahn's Corpus Christi location is being transformed into Whitecap, an $800 million master-planned community.

    The site that once housed Schlitterbahn's short-lived Corpus Christi location is being transformed into Whitecap, an $800 million master-planned community with waterfront homes, a shopping and entertainment district, and a marina designed to withstand Category 5 hurricanes.

    The former site of Schlitterbahn's Corpus Christi location is being transformed into Whitecap, an $800 million master-planned community.

    The project by Ashlar Development LLC and partner Diamond Beach Holdings LLC is Corpus Christi’s first master-planned coastal community and is expected to include more than 600 residences.

    Located less than four hours from Houston and about 30 minutes from Corpus Christi International Airport, the development is aimed at buyers looking for primary homes, vacation properties, and investment opportunities.

    Schlitterbahn opened its Padre Island location in 2016 with hopes of bringing its popular waterpark brand to the coast. But financial troubles and leadership disputes complicated the project early on. After the park closed in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, it never reopened, and the site was demolished in 2021.

    Now, the former waterpark site is being redeveloped into a waterfront residential community.

    "The owners saw extraordinary potential in this uniquely positioned property,” Terence Johnson, executive vice president of Ashlar Development, tells CultureMap. “By transforming a former golf course and water park into Whitecap, they've created a luxury canal community that balances exceptional waterfront living with the preservation of valuable coastal habitat for migratory birds and wildlife.”

    The first phase of homesite sales is now underway. Buyers can choose from custom and semi-custom home options featuring a contemporary coastal aesthetic with materials such as concrete and glass.

    Located just minutes from Whitecap Beach, the community sits along five miles of navigable canals, with most homesites offering water views, direct canal access, and backyard docks.

    A pool and fitness center are already completed, with future plans including a café, event space, sports courts, a dog park, and a marina district with shopping, dining, entertainment, a yacht club, and dry boat storage.

    A 30-acre nature preserve will sit at the center of the development, providing habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife.
