HOUSTON, Texas — Johnson Development Corporation has opened doors citywide to inspiring home tours and exciting public events this April for “Houston’s Largest Home Tour.”

Hundreds of homes — including more than 120 models — are open daily this April in 11 master-planned communities throughout Houston. Homes are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays and admission is free. In addition to touring model homes filled with the latest design trends, event-goers also can enjoy concerts, wine tastings, picnics, a Canine Carnival, farmers markets and crawfish boil.

“This Home Tour not only highlights the many luxuriously-appointed model homes we have throughout Houston, but celebrates the lifestyle of Johnson Development communities,” said Doug Goff, chief operating officer for The Johnson Development Corp. “The public will have a chance to experience the types of resident-only events our lifestyle directors plan regularly as well as tour the latest design trends and see firsthand why so many of our developments are among the nation’s best-selling.”
