Converde – a Trilogy Boutique Community

Independent Assessment

Converde is a genuine, currently active new-construction project from Shea Homes under its well-documented, nationally recognized Trilogy active-adult brand — the same brand already established and published elsewhere in this directory in other states (including Arizona and North Carolina) — which provides strong assurance of a legitimate, professionally developed, legally age-restricted community rather than a speculative or thinly documented listing. Multiple independent business-press sources (Community Impact, Houston Agent Magazine) and Shea Homes' own site consistently describe Converde as reserved for buyers aged 55 and up within the Evergreen master plan. Because the community only broke ground in December 2025 and began sales in March 2026, it remains in an early, actively selling construction phase as of the last update; buyers should expect ongoing site development, changing available inventory, and evolving amenity completion timelines (the Open Wellness + Social Club was still described as 'planned' in the most recent reporting reviewed) rather than a fully finished, resale-stable community.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want new construction from a nationally recognized active-adult builder brand (Trilogy), with a smaller, more intimate 'boutique' home count than a mega-community, and who want proximity to The Woodlands' shopping, healthcare, and dining without paying Woodlands-proper pricing, are the best fit for Converde. Its position as the first Trilogy community in the Houston/Austin corridor may also appeal to buyers already familiar with and loyal to the Trilogy brand from other markets.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Shea Homes broke ground on Converde – a Trilogy Boutique Community in December 2025, its debut Trilogy-branded active-adult project in Texas, within the 740-acre Evergreen master-planned community in Conroe. The gated 55+ section spans roughly 170 acres and is planned for approximately 540 homesites, offered through three home collections comprising nine single-story floor plans ranging from about 1,507 to 2,579 square feet. Sales began in early 2026, and construction remains actively underway as of the last update.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

New-construction pricing at Converde is reported starting in the low $300,000s across its nine single-story floor plans (roughly 1,507 to 2,579 square feet). As a new-construction, actively selling community, current builder pricing, available lots, and incentives should be confirmed directly with Shea Homes/Trilogy sales staff, since pricing at active new-home communities typically shifts as phases release and sell out.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Converde is entirely new construction as of the last update, with no resale market yet established given the community only broke ground in December 2025 and began sales in early 2026. New-construction buyers should confirm current builder warranty terms, construction timelines for their specific homesite, and the completion schedule for the planned Open Wellness + Social Club directly with Shea Homes/Trilogy sales staff.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Converde are subject to Montgomery County property tax and applicable Conroe-area school district and municipal taxes at current local rates. Texas offers an Age 65 or Older homestead exemption (a separate age threshold from this community's 55+ HOA eligibility) administered through the Montgomery Central Appraisal District, which can freeze school district taxes at the level in effect when granted. Buyers should confirm current millage rates and exemption eligibility directly with the Montgomery Central Appraisal District.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Converde is designed around Shea Homes' Trilogy 'boutique community' concept: a smaller, more intimate 55+ enclave than a large-scale master-planned active-adult community, anchored by a dedicated wellness-and-social clubhouse and an on-site lifestyle director organizing year-round programming. Residents also have access to the broader Evergreen master plan's outdoor amenities, including parks, trails, and the separate Arbor Amenity Village, giving Converde residents a blend of an intimate, age-restricted core with a larger master-planned community's outdoor recreation infrastructure.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Converde sits within the Evergreen master-planned community in Conroe, Montgomery County, positioned just north of the greater Houston area and reported as minutes from The Woodlands, with access to shopping, healthcare, and major area roadways. The community's street address is reported as 16139 Reunion Road, Conroe, TX 77302.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Converde is consistently described by Shea Homes and independent business-press coverage as a 55-and-older community, with homesites in the gated section reserved for buyers aged 55 and up, consistent with the Trilogy brand's standard age-restriction framework used across its other national communities. Buyers should confirm the community's specific recorded age-restriction language and age-verification procedures directly with Shea Homes/Trilogy before purchasing, since Converde's governing documents were still being finalized as the community launched sales in early 2026.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

As a brand-new community that only broke ground in December 2025, Converde carries the typical tradeoffs of an early-phase new-construction project: limited built inventory, an amenity center (the Open Wellness + Social Club) that may not be fully complete for all early buyers, and pricing/incentive terms that can shift as the community sells out its planned roughly 540 homesites. Because Converde is a gated section within the larger, mixed-age Evergreen master plan, buyers should confirm exactly which shared Evergreen amenities (such as the Arbor Amenity Village) are open to all Evergreen residents versus reserved exclusively for Converde's 55+ homeowners. HOA fee figures for Converde should be obtained directly from the builder before making purchase decisions, as they were not publicly confirmed as of the last update.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Converde is the newest and only active new-construction 55+ community in this Houston-metro cluster, distinguishing it from the fully built, resale-only Village at Tuscan Lakes in League City and the established, built-out Windsor Lakes elsewhere in Conroe/The Woodlands. As the debut Trilogy community in the Houston/Austin corridor, Converde offers buyers a nationally branded active-adult builder option not previously available in this specific submarket, at a materially smaller planned home count (roughly 540) than large master-planned active-adult communities elsewhere in Texas. Buyers weighing Converde against Windsor Lakes should note that Windsor Lakes is fully built and resale-only with an established track record, while Converde offers new construction with builder warranty coverage but the typical uncertainties of an early-phase project.
