Century Communities Opens New Homes at Sunterra Lakes in Brookshire as West Houston Growth Continues
As West Houston and the Katy area continue to expand, new housing developments are emerging to meet the region’s growing demand for homes. One of the latest additions is now taking shape in Brookshire, where Century Communities recently celebrated the grand opening of new homes at Sunterra Lakes.
The milestone reflects the continued residential growth happening along the Interstate 10 and Highway 99 corridor—an area that has seen steady population increases as families, professionals and first-time buyers look for housing options within commuting distance of Houston’s Energy Corridor and downtown employment centers.
Located at 4013 Shimmer Sol Drive in Brookshire, the Sunterra Lakes development introduces two collections of single-family homes, with prices beginning in the low $300,000s.
New Homes Arrive in a Fast-Growing Brookshire Community
Sunterra Lakes is a planned community developed by Starwood Land and designed to offer a mix of residential living and recreational amenities. As new neighborhoods emerge throughout Waller County and the greater Katy area, projects like Sunterra Lakes are helping shape the next phase of residential development west of Houston.
The community includes amenities intended to encourage outdoor activity and neighborhood gathering, such as volleyball and basketball courts, pickleball courts, an event lawn, walking paths and a fitness track.
Century Communities, one of the nation’s larger homebuilders operating across multiple U.S. markets, has introduced two home collections within the community: the Liberty Collection with floor plans designed for 40-foot homesites, and the Signature Collection on 50-foot homesites.
Homes range up to approximately 3,500 square feet and offer up to five bedrooms, along with features commonly found in newer construction homes such as covered patios, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances and integrated smart home technology.

Additional Housing Options Near Katy and the Energy Corridor

Century Communities leaders say the project represents part of the company’s broader expansion across the fast-growing West Houston housing market.

Reflecting Continued Growth Across the West Houston Region
The grand opening at Sunterra Lakes comes at a time when new residential construction continues to reshape communities west of Houston. Brookshire, Katy and nearby areas of Waller and Fort Bend counties have experienced significant housing development in recent years as the region expands outward from the city.
Developments like Sunterra Lakes often become part of broader master-planned growth patterns, combining residential neighborhoods with parks, recreation spaces and future retail or commercial opportunities.
For residents considering a move to the area—or longtime locals watching their community evolve—the addition of new housing options reflects the steady pace of growth along Houston’s western edge.
Model homes are currently open for tour at the Sunterra Lakes community, with additional homes now available for purchase.
