Elements Descriptors
Physical Make sure you address fully what you observed and NOTE if
Environment 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. Man-
made 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 What is the age of the houses? Describe type of construction material,
Zoning 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 Where do people in the neighborhood hang out? Who hangs out there
Meeting Places 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 Is this a “thriving” community or does it look “run down?” Is there new
Growth or Decline 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, and further down there are new neighborhoods that are
being built from the three hundred thousand dollar range, all the way to a
couple of million dollars. The roads are kept clean, even when there is
