Audubon

Set where lush forested land meets modern design, Audubon, Magnolia TX is a large master-planned community that lets you live amid nature while staying connected to the city. Located off SH-249 and FM-1488, between Mill Creek Road and the Grand Parkway area, Audubon spans approximately 3,000 acres and is being developed in multiple districts (Creekside, Audubon Park, and Heron Run) with plans for about 5,000 homes at full build-out.

 

Homebuyers here have a diverse set of builder partners to choose from, including Century Communities, David Weekley Homes, Drees Custom Homes, Empire, Newmark, Perry, Ravenna, Sitterle, and Smith Douglas Homes. Floor plans vary widely—smaller homes (1,800-2,200 sq ft) in some of the 45-foot homesites, up through larger, custom layouts. Prices begin in the $300,000s for many move-in ready homes, rising toward $1 million for larger lots, premium finishes, and parcels in the new Heron Run District.

 

The amenities in Audubon elevate the experience beyond just a place to live. Club Audubon is the community’s future amenity center, set to feature a resort-style pool, splash-friendly water features, indoor/outdoor gathering spaces, and multipurpose event areas. The community also includes miles of hiking and biking trails, preserved natural areas, ponds and lakes, parks like Heron Park, Legacy Park, Screech Park, and planned green belts that connect neighborhoods and open spaces. Magnolia ISD serves the area, with new schools opening (Audubon Elementary in Fall 2024) along with Bear Branch Junior High, Magnolia Parkway Elementary, etc.

 

One of the key draws is Audubon’s blend of natural setting with accessibility: commuting is easier thanks to SH-249, proximity to FM-1488, and nearby destinations such as The Woodlands Town Center, College Station (for those who travel), and Houston’s entertainment and business districts.
