nothing that tops slavery.
The was one house on the main road that we dubbed the drug house as there were always different cars parked out front and the cops usually were called in for various reasons about once a month.
The developer tried to build all the amenities on the cheap. For the first year, there were no sidewalks from the gate to the first set of houses. They put in stepping stones instead. Like something you would see heading from a mailbox to a trailer home. That got the HOA up in arms real fast.
They built a sand volleyball court next to the pool by building a concrete pit and putting sand in it. There was zero account on how to let the water run out or off so it was pretty much a tiny sandy pond witha net for half the year.
Wednesday nights were apparently street hoops night at the covered basketball court. That drew in a darker crowd than one would normally find in 77450
for being on the south side of katy, the neighborhood wasn't as upperclass as some of its new counter parts. The front section had the huge houses. The middle section matched with most of the surrounding cinco properties. The back was comprised of alot of starter homes which is where half of all 30 of the Cinco Ranch HS minority students lived. By no means was it a bad neighborhood, but like I said, don't let the fancy guard shack out front fool ya.
My family and another neighbor may have been the reason the Fort Bend County Sheriffs office invested in an ATV as we used to ride our atv in the easement out back between the neighborhood and bayou. The sheriff's first step was to put up a "no motorized vehicle sign." Naturally we ignored that. Then one day we saw the neighbor riding out back from our window and he sped by real fast. 5 seconds later you see the police cruiser pursuing him while bouncing around on all the bumps. The next week as I was driving home from school, we see a county sheriff sitting next to the no motorized vehicle sign while sitting on a marked up ATV. We knew our riding days were over for awhile.
