Wooded trails, lakes & a broad builder mix
A wooded master-planned community with recreation facilities and multiple home collections. The developer lists Lennar, Perry Homes, Westin Homes and M/I Homes. Compare the collection, homesite width and included features before comparing base prices.
What to compare before you choose
Ask for the current collection map, section-specific tax districts, HOA documents and inventory. Visit the actual lot at different times of day.
Build a useful home shortlist
Separate non-negotiables from preferences: bedrooms, a home office, yard, one-story layout, move date and a comfortable full monthly payment. Ask for a same-day inventory check before scheduling a tour.
A visit that answers real questions
Drive the route to work at your usual departure time. Walk the area around the lot, locate nearby construction and look at the route to groceries. For resale homes, review inspection history and insurance availability; for new homes, get the final specification sheet in writing.

What everyday living may look like
Woodland recreation is central to Tavola’s identity. The developer describes greenbelt trails, lakes, a recreation center, pool, clubhouse and playground amenities. For a buyer, the useful distinction is the location of the actual home within the community: proximity to an entrance, a trail or a recreation facility can change everyday convenience.
Homes, layouts and the right comparison
The developer lists Lennar collections alongside Perry Homes, Westin Homes and M/I Homes. Compare the active collection rather than assuming each builder offers every product throughout Tavola. Ask whether your home is in Tavola or Tavola West and identify the legal association and utility district for that parcel.
Property taxes & HOA: what is verified
| Item | Information for buyers |
|---|---|
| Property taxes | Official district transparency pages now list 2026 rates of 1.22% for East Montgomery County MUD 6 and 1.35% for MUD 7. These are district components, not full tax rates. Identify which district covers the home and verify all other taxing units and exemptions. The separate comparison page includes source links and explains why older published totals should not be treated as current. |
| HOA and assessments | Current annual assessment not independently confirmed. Verify the legal association, section and any additional assessment with the title commitment, current resale certificate and association manager. |
| Verification date | October 31, 2026. Written property-specific confirmation is still needed. |

Flood research for Tavola
This guide does not assign one flood rating to an entire community. Locate the exact lot on FEMA’s map, review current map revisions, ask about prior water intrusion and obtain an insurance quote. Compare the building location and drainage context, not only the subdivision name. See the New Caney flood-research guide.

Official district transparency pages now list 2026 rates of 1.22% for East Montgomery County MUD 6 and 1.35% for MUD 7. These are district components, not full tax rates. Identify which district covers the home and verify all other taxing units and exemptions.

Current annual assessment not independently confirmed. Verify the legal association, section and any additional assessment with the title commitment, current resale certificate and association manager.
How do I check schools for a home here?
Use the exact address with the relevant district for the school year in which you will enroll. A nearby school or builder brochure is a starting point, not the district’s final confirmation.
Can I get a local market report for Tavola?
Yes. Ask Oksana for comparable sales, competing inventory and home-specific context. The ZIP-wide report on this site is broader than this community.
What should I bring to a neighborhood tour?
Your comfortable full monthly budget, move date, must-have layout, work destinations and questions about schools, pets or future improvements. Oksana can use those priorities to focus the visit.
