M/I Homes – Dallas: 5-Time Builder of the Year
Too often, we are placed in metaphorical boxes when looking for a home (or making any significant purchase). Instead of buying a home that doesn’t fit your needs and lifestyle, learn when right-sizing is—well, right—for you!
We’ve highlighted Conroe, TX as the perfect location for right-sizing in any stage of life.
Why Right-Size Your Home
What is rightsizing? Rightsizing = a more accurate term to explain the overused term, downsizing. Looking for a perfect space does not mean a move down, and it doesn’t apply only to empty-nesters, either.
How we use our homes is evolving, and many of us are realizing the increasing importance of home being attuned to our individual needs:
- Maybe an unused media room in your current home goes unused, but a dual-purpose work-from-home/virtual learning room close to the kitchen is needed.
- Maybe you’ve decided a large, open floorplan is beautiful, but not when everyone in the family is at home and needs space for quiet calls or focus on a project.
- Maybe it’s just you and your dog; maybe you have been retired a few years but are now starting your own business; maybe you have three generations of family under one roof.
Whether it is a lifestyle change, family event, or general desire for a change of pace, allow us to introduce Conroe, TX and why it may be the perfect place for your new home.
5 Reasons to Call the City of Conroe, TX Home
Houston, Texas is vast, and finding the right place to call home can be (understandably) overwhelming. When hand-picking Conroe as one of our Greater Houston suburbs in which to build new homes, we noticed a real sense of ease that this Texas city provides residents.

1. It’s Cooler in Conroe, Literally
Much of Conroe, TX real estate has the added advantage of an entirely different, cooler USDA grow zone (8b), vs. neighbors to the immediate south (9a). In layman’s terms for both gardeners and non-gardeners alike, this means cooler average temperatures.
