The term "master planned community" is not one that Bridgeland takes lightly. In reality, very early on in the history of the community, developers drew up a roadmap for Bridgeland's development. The placement of residential areas, a hierarchy of parks and amenities, as well as public and private schools, are all addressed in this model. A thorough preservation plan also defines the community's eco-friendly irrigation, energy, and wildlife management strategies. A home is made up of more than just a structure, and a neighborhood is made up of more than just houses. The amenities at Bridgeland contribute to a better way of life where nature and the community flourish. Green space may be located within a quarter-mile of every homesite across the development, giving residents quick access to playgrounds and parks.
