Elements Descriptors Physical Environment Make sure you address fully what you observed and NOTE if something was not found within your community area. ● Boundaries What defines the boundaries? Roads, water, railroads. Is the area known for a particular name? What area is this community located in? Highways, beautiful neighborhood streets, and roads define the boundaries of the community I chose to live in, which is known as Sienna Plantations. Manmade lakes and small pavilions surrounded by very beautiful varieties of flowers are found throughout the community, creating a very relaxing atmosphere. Sienna Plantations is located in between two growing cities, Sugar Land and Missouri City. I live in Missouri City. There are even reservoirs and major channels that connect to the Brazos River running throughout parts of our community, giving the parts and walking trails an abundance of great, small scale sightings of wildlife that is not too harmful. ● Housing and Zoning What is the age of the houses? Describe type of construction material, appearance, and general condition. Do you see single family housing? Multi-family housing? Since Sienna Plantations was a master planned community that began construction around late 1996, it is still rapidly growing to this day. Thus a huge portion of houses in this community are around 20 years old, where as the house that I currently live in is around 8 years old. There are still new homes being built, and there are many homes in this community that are around one to three years old. In general, there are around 4 main builders who have contracts to build smaller neighborhoods throughout Sienna Plantations. All of these builders use different materials and plans. However, in my neighborhood, there is a large incorporation of stucco, and stone designs. Also, most of the houses are in great condition, due to the Home Owners Association being very stringent on their deed policies. From my perspective, I can personality attest that all of the houses are rather amazing to look at. Most of the houses that are located in Sienna Plantations are built for single family housing. However, one of the newer mini-neighborhoods is accommodating a design plan for mufti-family housing. ● Common Meeting Places Where do people in the neighborhood hang out? Who hangs out there and what hours of the day? There are several places where people get together to hangout in Sienna Plantations. Being a master planned community, there are places and spots that accommodate all types of people. There are 4 community pools that are open during the summer times and people hangout there from the hours of 9 AM to 7 PM. There are over 100 miles of walking trails that are used all throughout the day that run throughout woods, parks, and small creeks. There is also a Sienna recreational center with a spacious gym and sauna that is usually fully occupied with people from 9 AM to 6 PM. The golf course also has a large influx of older folks enjoying their mornings and afternoons on the course. Also, smaller restaurants are common hang out places for many of the youth in the neighborhood. Some include Pepperonis, Sonic, and Snowflakes, which is a very busy donut/breakfast place. There are also many other recreational facilities, such as tennis courts, and volleyball courts, that sees a lot of attendance from many of the women in our community. ● Indicators of Growth or Decline Is this a “thriving” community or does it look “run down?” Is there new or ongoing construction? Businesses and Industries coming to the area? Are buildings, roadways, and public areas clean and well-kept. Do you see dirt, trash, or graffiti? Sienna Plantations is a thriving and rapidly growing community. More houses and neighborhoods are being developed as we go deeper into Sienna. There is new construction in the entrance where buildings are being built, a new apartment complex, a [Show More]
