About Kresston
Kresston is an upcoming master-planned community in Magnolia, designed to offer a modern lifestyle with small-town charm. While still in development, it promises to feature high-quality homes, parks, and community spaces. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new neighborhood.
The Vision for Kresston
Kresston is a new master-planned community from Johnson Development — the group behind several of the Houston area's most successful master plans, including nearby Woodforest — taking shape on roughly 1,400 acres at the SH 249 Aggie Expressway and FM 1486. The long-term vision calls for thousands of homes, parks and trails, community gathering spaces, and a planned on-site Magnolia ISD campus. Early amenities center on the Legend Pointe area, with a splash pad, playground, pickleball, and an event lawn, with more planned as the community builds out.
Homes & Builders
Kresston is designed to serve a wide range of buyers, with homesites in multiple lot widths and new construction from a lineup of well-known national and Texas builders. Floor plans span from right-sized single-family homes to larger family designs, so first-time buyers and move-up families alike can find a fit. Because builder lineups, inventory, and incentives change as new sections open, Leslie can confirm which builders are actively selling and help you compare plans, pricing, and incentives.
Location & Commute
Kresston sits on the Magnolia side of Montgomery County with direct access to the SH 249 Aggie Expressway, one of the region's newest commuter corridors. That puts Tomball and northwest Houston employment centers within a straightforward drive, with The Woodlands and Magnolia's shopping and dining also close by. The community is zoned to Magnolia ISD — verify current school assignments with the district, as boundaries can change.

What It Means for You
For buyers, I’d compare new construction and resale homes side by side. Asking prices tell only part of the story. Condition, included features, and HOA costs deserve a close look, too. The days-on-market figures above describe homes still available, not completed sales.
For sellers, I’d focus on the homes competing with yours rather than the neighborhood median alone. With no comparable earlier update, this is a snapshot—not evidence of a price trend. My 30+ years in Magnolia and Montgomery County help me put those comparisons in context.
