By Steven Kleiman, Broker, Oakington Realty, Houston, TX

If you’re looking for a master-planned community that truly has it all, Sienna should be on your radar. Located in Missouri City, just 25 miles southwest of Downtown Houston, Sienna combines resort-style amenities, natural beauty, and top-ranked schools in one of the most vibrant parts of Fort Bend County.

With miles of walking trails, multiple water parks, beautiful homes, and a strong sense of community, Sienna is more than just a neighborhood — it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're raising a family, downsizing, or just looking for space and connection, this is a place where people put down roots and stay.

Each section of Sienna has its own character, whether you’re looking for a golf course view, a cul-de-sac lot, or a gated enclave.

🏫 Schools and Education

One of the biggest draws to Sienna is its access to Fort Bend ISD's highly rated public schools, including:

🏘️ Community and Growth

Sienna first broke ground in the late 1990s and has grown into one of the largest and most successful master-planned communities in the Houston area. The development spans over 10,000 acres and currently includes more than 7,000 homes, with plans to eventually reach 20,000.

Despite its size, Sienna feels like a small town. There’s a true sense of connection among residents, whether it’s through school involvement, sports leagues, or simply meeting at the local coffee shop. It attracts a wide range of homeowners, from young families and professionals to retirees looking for low-maintenance living.

📜 Fun Fact

Sienna sits on land that once formed part of a historic sugar plantation, and elements of that history have been preserved throughout the community. You can still see historic buildings and sites woven into the design, giving the area a unique sense of place and continuity.

Sienna also operates under its own Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), which help maintain infrastructure and public services at a high level without relying solely on city resources.

If you're thinking about making a move to Fort Bend County, Sienna is absolutely worth exploring. I’d be happy to help you find the right home in one of Houston’s most thoughtfully planned communities.
