Howard Ranch has a very unique design. The neighborhood is brand new, with newly constructed homes, but is built to look like historic homes in the 18th and 19th centuries so it definitely has character. Howard Ranch has been slow to catch on, with building starting in the mid-2000’s and continuing (slowly) today. When the neighborhood is complete, there will be a town square, boutique hotel, general store and a restaurant to give residents a home town feel. Scroll Down to Read More About Howard Ranch.
