HUTTO, Texas – (Realty News Report) – Tri Pointe Homes has announced the opening of Flora, an 825-acre planned community in Hutto, northeast of Austin.
“Hutto has earned its reputation as one of Texas’ safest and fastest-growing communities, offering residents the perfect mix of small-town charm and modern convenience with strong schools, low crime rates, and a high quality of life,” said Bryan Havel, Division President of Tri Pointe Homes Austin. “Flora builds on that foundation as a community designed to match the high standards that make Hutto such a desirable place to call home.”
Hutto is about 10 miles from the site of a massive $17 billion Samsung semiconductor plant in the town of Taylor. Some 2,000 people will be employed at the 6 million square-foot Samsung plant, which is under construction.
Tri Pointe, is major homebuilder, which previously operated for decades under the brand name Trendmaker Homes.
In Hutto, Tri Pointe’s homes at the new Flora community feature seven floorplans from the Terrace Collection, designed to accommodate an array of homebuyer needs. The one- and two-story homes range from approximately 1,600 to 2,750 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 3.5 bathrooms, and 2-bay garages.
Tri Pointe Homes continues its dedication to sustainable building practices through its LivingSmart program, which focuses on environmental responsibility, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings for homeowners. Through innovations in design and construction, the program includes five key areas: HealthSmart, EnergySmart, EarthSmart, WaterSmart, and HomeSmart. Tri Pointe’s homes at Flora are equipped with energy-efficient technology, providing homeowners with a greener, more comfortable living experience.
Beyond the homes, the Flora community is designed to enhance everyday life with a range of outdoor and wellness-focused amenities built for connection and convenience. The future Bloom House amenity center, anticipated to open in August 2025, will include a resort-style pool, fitness center, splash pad, parks, and trails. The planned community features including the Market Square for farm-fresh produce and food trucks, an adventure-packed kid zone, open green spaces, and miles of scenic trails are expected to foster an active lifestyle.
Located just three miles from downtown Hutto, Flora offers homebuyers a balance of tranquility and accessibility. The community is close to local shopping and dining, highly rated Hutto ISD schools, and provides easy access to major employment hubs in Round Rock, Georgetown, and Austin. Outdoor destinations like Lake Travis and North Austin’s top entertainment destinations are just a short drive away.
One of the largest homebuilders in the U.S., Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. (NYSE: TPH) is a publicly traded company operating in 12 states and the District of Columbia.
