With more than 100 model homes open for touring throughout Houston, showcase events like the one The Johnson Development Corp. is hosting through April don’t get much bigger.

Dubbed last year as “Houston’s Largest Home Tour,” the event has grown for its second annual launch to include nine top area master-planned communities, more than 100 model homes and more than 300 move-in ready homes in nearly every price range. Homes are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. Admission is free.

“This year is even more impressive as we add to our array of housing styles in the area’s most popular master-planned communities,” said Doug Goff, chief operating officer of The Johnson Development Corp. “The tour also showcases homes ready now, perfect for people wanting to move quickly.”
