Ravenna, a new gated community of single-family homes, brings the quintessential charm and elegance of the Italian town of its namesake to Houston. Lush landscaping and European-influenced design make it easy to unwind and feel like you’ve stepped into an Italian village.

Developed by Lovett Homes, the 159-residence community features traditional two- to four-story homes that range in size from 2,500 square feet to 6,000 square feet on courtyard lots. A variety of floorplan options are available, including homes with the master bedroom on the first floor, elevator-equipped homes and units with a fourth-floor rooftop deck.

All homes are thoughtfully designed to reflect with a European flavor and include imported barrel-tiled roofing. A 19+ SEER-rated variable speed air conditioning system keeps homes cool even on the hottest of Texas scorchers while maintaining low energy costs.

A fully-staffed gate station greets both residents and visitors alike at Ravenna, ensuring privacy. All homeowners have access the community’s resort-style outdoor pool and cabanas. There’s also a separate dining area with custom lighting for outdoor get togethers. In addition, homeowners with canine companions can make use of the community’s spacious dog park.

The community is conveniently located a short drive away from bustling Downtown Houston, home to the Aquarium and Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, as well as a variety of fine dining restaurants, local taquerias and upscale shopping. The Galleria Mall is also just minutes away.

And, best of all, homeowners can expect to stay dry during hurricane season — Ravenna experienced no excess water during last year’s Hurricane Harvey, according to developers.

Pricing for available homes starts at $750,000 and go up to $1.8 million.
