The Game is Changing
The internet was supposed to make it easier to build and connect. Somewhere along the way, we lost the plot.
beehiiv is changing that once and for all.
On November 13, they’re unveiling what’s next at their first-ever Winter Release Event. For the people shaping the future of content, community, and media, this is an event you can’t miss.
CHECK OUT THIS NEW COMMUNITY 😍
Oakview Farms is a new gated community taking shape near Tomball. It combines spacious modern farmhouse homes with quiet surroundings and mature oak trees. The neighborhood sits beside a lake and is designed for people who want room to breathe without losing access to the city.
Homes start at around 3,350 square feet and are built on generous lots that range from about 10,000 to 14,000 square feet. Large windows, open layouts, and high-quality finishes create a comfortable and elegant feel. Covered patios and well-planned outdoor spaces make the homes ideal for everyday living and gathering with friends and family.
The location is close to major roads like Grand Parkway 99, which makes it easy to reach nearby shops, restaurants, and schools. The gated entry offers added privacy, and the setting with mature trees and water views gives the community a calm, rural feel while keeping it connected to town.
Oakview Farms offers a balance of space, quality, and convenience that fits well with the lifestyle many Tomball residents value. It is being built as a place to settle in, grow roots, and enjoy a slower pace without giving up modern comforts.
