Following the acquisition of a 205-acre tract in Needville late last year, M/I Homes announced it will build a 400-home community called Wild Oak.
Located along Old Needville Fairchilds Road and Padon Road, Wild Oak will feature 60-, 70- and 100-foot lots, with planned community amenities including a pool and pavilion, playground, sports field, trails and ponds.
M/I Homes will serve as the exclusive builder for the self-developed community.
“This area is one of the breakout regions as greater Houston continues to grow,” Houston Division President Jay McManus said in a press release. “With a location about 11 miles south of Richmond, Wild Oak will offer the best of both worlds — small-town charm and access to everyday conveniences.”
Needville Area Chamber of Commerce President Dustin Vacek said in the development will likely promote economic growth in the area.
“The chamber welcomes this new residential development and looks forward to engaging with new residents and connecting them with Needville’s local businesses,” Vacek said. “We also are committed to maintaining the strong sense of community and small-town character that defines our area.”
Wild Oak is expected to open in late 2027. Pricing and floor plans have not yet been decided.
M/I Homes is also in the process of self-developing the Berryknoll community near Montgomery.
