They include $20,990 of Surprising Performance benefits in every home. Beazer is so confident about these features they put chocolate bunnies in their attics to prove they won’t melt.
Beazer also guarantees every home is inspected to ensure quality. Finally, they have partnered with the EPA to build airPLUS qualified homes. These standards improve air quality in your home so you can breathe easier.

Once you’ve finished hunting, join us on the lawn of The Resort at Amira Saturdays only from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for outdoor games and oversized frame photo ops. There will also be a food truck on hand for those who are hungry.
So, are you feeling “clucky?”
Smart home buyers know their best shot at finding a new home in a community perfect for them is soliciting the help of a Realtor. And Realtors know their best chance of helping their clients find their perfect home is to take them to a community like Amira.
Which is exactly what Realtors did again and again last year.
There were plenty of Realtors who sold multiple homes in Amira during 2021, but three rose to the top:
Why did these three and 205 other Realtors who sold in the community last year think Amira would suit their clients? A convenient Tomball location as well as functional and beautiful floor plans by Perry Homes and Beazer Homes. But what makes Amira really stand out is its “staycay every day” promise. The Resort at Amirahas a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse surrounding a large pool complex with areas for adults and children that rivals anything you might find an upscale resort. Covered patios overlook the pool and are a good place to watch the big game. Residents can keep fit at the yoga studio, fitness room or trails connecting neighborhoods and amenities. Children have their choice of playgrounds and dogs can romp at Derby Dog Park.
We want to thank all the Realtors who visited and sold in Amira last year. We hope to see you again soon in 2022.

Each new year features a new set of health and wellness trends. Everything from new superfoods to ways to get your mental house in order is dissected and disseminated. Which ones will actually help you in the New Year? We’ve broken it down for you.
Redefining Wellness
In the past, “healthy” has been synonymous with physical health. The new year will see a broadening of that definition to include mental health, immune health, emotional health and intellectual wellness. Balance will be an increasingly important word with people working to create healthy minds as well as healthy bodies.
Immune Health
According to Mindbody, a technology company that assists small business health and wellness providers, people will be more focused on the health of their immune systems. These services include light therapy, IV vitamin drips, detox programs, infrared saunas, salt therapies and B12 shots. Gyms and spas may will be offering holistic services that claim to better support your immune system.
Mental Health
Taking care of your mental health will go beyond taking personal days. Employers in particular will be looking for ways to help their employees. These may include better mental health benefits, access to onsite therapists, passes to wellness centers, no Zoom days and additional time off. Virtual therapist visits will be easier to access. The stigma against men seeking wellness services will be reduced.
Intellectual Health
Mindbody also predicts that intellectual health will be a trend. To do this, you simply have to engage in creative activities that encourage you to learn new skills and concepts. Expect to see people of all ages taking arts classes, doing online puzzles, and downloading brain gym apps.
Start Walking
Walking is an easy way to stay fit, decrease stress and refresh your mind. Amira residents enjoy walking our trails. Last year Vogue promoted the “silly little walk,” which is basically walking with no real purpose other than to be outdoors. Got an Apple Watch Fitness+ subscription? Then you can take an inspiring walk with the Time to Walk audio experience. Instead of music you take a virtual walk with influential people like Dolly Parton or Draymond Green. Of course, you can always just get out and put one foot in front of the other.
Speaking of Fitness Tech
Fitness technology will continue to evolve taking us from merely keeping track of steps to keeping track of key wellness indicators. Fitbits, Apple watches and Oura rings will take note of our body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate variability and sleep quality and signal us if something doesn’t seem right.
Reducetarianism
Not ready to embrace a vegetarian diet? No sweat. You can simply reduce the amount of animal products you consume. Reducetarianism reduces your risk of heart disease, and certain types of cancers as well as reducing your carbon footprint. Reducetarianism is different from flexitarianism because the focus is on mindfulness and gradually replacing meat, dairy and eggs with other options.
Sleep Hygiene
We all know we need to get enough sleep. We even have trackers that tell us how much sleep we aren’t getting. 2022 will be the year we focus on better bedtime behavior. Reducing screen time, creating a more relaxing sleep environment, crafting a bedroom that encourages sleep and avoiding the foods that keep us up at night will all take center stage.
Mindful Drinking
Move over “Dry January,” people are about to have a year-round love affair with non-alcoholic drinks. Mindful drinking doesn’t involve cutting alcohol out of our diets, it simply means being aware of why we drink and how much. To help us, there will be an increase in the number of zero-proof spirits, wines and beers.
Move to Amira
Want to live in a place dedicated to helping you live and play better? Make the move to Amira. Pools, parks, trails and lifestyle events keep you active while our beautiful homes make cooking healthy meals easy and fun. Laughter is the best medicine, and our events bring neighbors together for fun and a strong sense of community. Visit us today.
Comfort, quality and craftsmanship characterize Beazer Homes’ new model in Amira.
The recently opened model at 19203 Hillside Pasture Lane showcases the Maxwell floor plan, one of five designs in the builder’s Premier Collection. It offers three bedrooms, two baths and an exceptional lifestyle.
Curb appeal is the first thing you notice as you approach the home. The upgraded French Country elevation is a revelation in brick and stone with country shutters and peaked gables. The covered porch promises multiple opportunities to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of lemonade while you watch the world go by.
An elegant tray ceiling crowns the entry that leads past two, cozy bedrooms linked by a jack-and-jill bath. The laundry room and mudroom are positioned opposite so it’s easy for kids to drop off dirty boots or clothes.
The heart of the home is a spectacular gourmet kitchen. The family chef is sure to feel pampered by an island with counter seating, stunning painted cabinets, miles of countertops, a walk-in pantry and tiled backsplash. Beams create the illusion of separation between the kitchen and family room while allowing plenty of light to flood the area. A casual dining area is sure to be the site of many a spaghetti dinner. If you prefer al fresco dining, there is a covered patio.
The lush primary suite offers enough room in the bedroom for a comfy reading nook. The primary bath features an oversized shower and a garden tub. Dual sinks mean you can both get ready for work at the same time. The suite also boasts an oversized walk-in closet.
Designs in the Premier Collection are priced from the $300,000s and include spacious kitchens, great rooms and covered backyard patios. Some plans offer home offices and entertainment lofts. Take a tour of the new Beazer model today and prepare to fall in love.
