There’s something uniquely satisfying about uncovering hidden gems, and this fall, Lakes of Bella Terra residents have the perfect opportunity to do just that. The Lakes of Bella Terra Community Garage Sale is scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. across the neighborhood.

This annual event draws buyers and browsers from around Richmond and Fort Bend County, offering everything from furniture and toys to clothes, kitchenware, tools, and unique home décor. Whether you’re decluttering or deal-hunting, it’s one of the most highly anticipated community events of the season.

Tips for Residents Participating in the Sale

• Advertise early: Use local Facebook groups, neighborhood apps like Nextdoor, and community bulletin boards to let people know you're participating.
• Organize by category: Group similar items together to help shoppers find what they’re looking for more easily.
• Price to sell: Use painter’s tape and a permanent marker to label items clearly with reasonable prices.
• Offer small bills: Keep change on hand, especially $1s and $5s. Many shoppers will come with cash.
• Create curb appeal: Use a tidy, welcoming setup to draw people in—tables, bins, and even music can help make your sale inviting.

Most importantly, bring your best negotiating skills and a friendly attitude. This event isn’t just about cleaning out garages—it’s a chance to connect with neighbors and welcome treasure hunters into the community.
