Think a beautiful, spacious home is out of your reach? Think again. Centex Homes has begun pre-sales of their value-laden homes in Marvida.
Homebuyers have been attracted to Centex Homes’ spacious designs, flexible floor plans and affordability for more than 70 years. Centex partners with industry leaders to ensure their homes are beautiful and durable. Partners such as Moen, Lennox, Whirlpool and Sherwin-Williams and more.
Centex has also put in place a 10-Step Build Quality Experience™ Process. Several of these steps include inspections of your home’s foundation, frame and mechanics. As part of the process, you will meet with your construction manager who can answer any questions you might have. You will even be given a tour of your new home before they put up the drywall so you can see your home’s mechanical systems before they are covered up.
Flexibility is key when it comes to rooms that can fulfill a variety of purposes — family rooms that are large enough to accommodate neighborhood potlucks and cozy board game nights, kitchens that allow you to whip up extravagant appetizers and tacos for Tuesdays, primary suites that help you get ready in the morning and relax in the evenings.
Homes by Centex are built smart from the ground up and feature CAT 6 wiring to ensure better connectivity and faster internet speeds. You can build on that foundation by adding the home automation devices you believe will make your life easier.
Centex offers more than a dozen floor plans in Marvida. Homes range from 1,501 to 2,598 square feet and are priced from the $279,900s. Designs feature large living spaces, primary suites with elegant baths and walk-in closets, game rooms and two-car garages.

If you want to love where you live, you want to make the move to Marvida. Why? We’re located in beautiful Cypress, Texas! There’s so much to do as well as great schools, convenient shopping and plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and have fun. Here are 5 reasons we love Cypress:
A Fabulous Location
Cypress is booming in part because of its fabulous location. You can hop on U.S. 290 and State Highway 249 for the 30-minute commute to downtown Houston. Cypress is 45 minutes from major employers along the Energy Corridor. Want to attend a concert at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands? Nothing easier! The Sam Houston Tollway and Grand Parkway can also get you pretty much anywhere else you want to go.
A+ Education
A first-class education starts with a first-class school district. Cypress Fairbanks ISD was the largest district in Texas to receive an “A” rating from the Texas Education Agency in 2022. Cy-Fair ISD serves 116,000 students across 92 campuses. It is the third-largest district in Texas and the 21st-largest in the United States. Despite its size, Cy-Fair ISD prides itself on giving students the personalized attention they need for future success. The district’s lauded College Academy partnership with Lone Star College allows students to receive both a high school diploma and an associate degree at the same time. Marvida students attend highly regarded Walker Elementary, Rowe Middle School and Cypress Park High School.
Small Town Vibes
Cypress may be growing, but it still feels like a small town. The people here are friendly and always willing to lend a hand. Annual festivals like A Taste of Cy-Fair and the CyWoods FFA Fall Festival & Crafts Show bring neighbors together to enjoy food, fun and a little shopping. Friday Night Lights are a big deal here with everyone coming out to cheer on their favorite team. The Berry Center is a premier sports and entertainment venue that hosts everything from blood drives and high school graduations to concerts and local theater productions.
Outdoor Adventuring
Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, bird watching or just picnicking, Cypress has got you covered with plenty of parks, playgrounds and wide-open green spaces. Little Cypress Preserve features 57 acres of interactive trails. The Cypress Creek Greenway is an ambitious project that seeks to preserve a natural corridor along Cypress Creek and develop a trail system to connect existing and future parks. Matzke Park is accessible to kids of all abilities. Bibi & Mini Me Bush Dog Park is the perfect place to spend the day with your furry Fido.
Convenient Shopping
Cypress offers more than 140 retail stores and restaurants, so you never have to go far to find what you need or get a great meal. Cypress Towne Center and Fairfield Town host big box stores such as Kohl’s, PetSmart, Best Buy and more. For discount designer duds, residents head to Houston Premium Outlets. It’s also easy to head to the Galleria for a girls’ day out.

You walk into a model home, open the pantry door and you can just imagine how orderly your canned goods, snacks and other items would look on the pantry shelves.
And then you go home and see just how crowded your current pantry is — ugh!
There is hope, though. You could — of course — buy a new home with that pristine pantry and all that comes with it. Or you could make a few smart purchases and devote an afternoon to perfecting your pantry. Either way, you’ll be happy you did!
So whether you’re starting with a brand new pantry or taking everything out of the old one and starting fresh, here are some tips to get you going:
Sorting
After you’ve taken everything out of your pantry and given it a good scrub (unless you’re lucky enough to be moving into a new home in Marvida), sort your items. Your very first criteria is to see if an item is out-of-date, which can be very likely for items stuck way back into a pantry corner. Then put like items together — snacks, baking items, canned goods, vinegars and oils, grains, etc. When you put your food items back into the pantry, put the newest in the back and the oldest up front to make sure you use items before they expire.
Planning
Before you can start loading up the pantry shelves, you’ll want to plan out your pantry if you haven’t done that already. Decide which items are likely to be accessed by little hands and which you definitely want to stay away from the kiddos. If you’re a big baker, you’ll want flour, baking soda, sugar, baking powder and other necessities readily available. Bake only during the holidays? Devote that prime pantry real estate to something you use on a more regular basis. Also consider putting little-used appliances on the hard-to-reach top shelves, although you may want to keep the heaviest appliances on the floor — we’re talking to you, KitchenAid stand mixer!
Containing
After you have your pantry planned out, consider what kinds of containers you’d like to use. Containers do more than just flavor your pantry with style, they are also functional. Instead of unwieldly boxes, open baskets can store snacks. And unless you use a lot of flour on a regular basis, you don’t want to keep them in their original containers. Why? Two words — flour beetles.
A few tips on containers — make sure the ones for flour and other items you might measure have openings that are wide enough for a measuring spoon. You’ll, of course, want clear containers so you can see what’s inside. And make the containers stackable. Do still consider adding labels, however, if only to put the expiration date on the label.
Shelving
For the items you aren’t putting in a container, consider purchasing tiered shelves so you can easily see everything you’re storing. Another solution would be to use a pull-out wire shelf or to even turn your shelves into drawers. Nothing will ever get lost in a corner if you use lazy Susans in your pantry — an easy solution for bottles of vinegar, oils and other liquids. And while this isn’t technically a shelf, you can add hanging storage to the back of your pantry door to further expand your storage capabilities.
A Final Pantry Point
If you do happen to be purchasing a new home — hopefully in Marvida! — talk to your builder about customizing your pantry. Storing a large bag of dog food? Perhaps a shelf can be raised to accommodate the bag. Going to place heavy appliances on a shelf? See if it can be reinforced or maybe even extended a little. An advantage to building a home is you can have your pantry constructed exactly the way you want!

Houseplants are a simple, yet effective, way to breathe new life into your home’s décor. They add color, texture and focus to any room. As a bonus, plants provide health benefits in the form of increased oxygen and stress relief. You don’t even need a green thumb. If you are ready to bring the outdoors inside your new Marvida home, here are a few botanical tips.
Remember, It’s Alive
Plants are living things. They require more upkeep than a throw pillow. Evaluate your lifestyle. Make sure you have time to water and fertilize your plants. Evaluate your space for sunlight, temperature and functionality. You want your plants to thrive.
Start Small and Easy
If you’ve never owned a houseplant, it’s best to start small. Purchase a few low-maintenance plants and build from there. Check with experts at your local gardening center who can help you choose the right plants. Favorites with beginners include ZZ plant, snake plant, spider plants, pothos, any succulent and bamboo.
A Plant for Every Room
Match your plants with your room. Bathrooms tend to be humid so fill them with ferns or orchids. Some plants prefer the shade. If you have a dark corner in your game room, brighten it up with dark-leaved plants such as calatheas or nerve plants. If you don’t use your study very often but want a little green, fill the shelves with cactus plants.
Create Contrast
A plant by itself looks lonely and sad. A group of plants looks lush and inviting. Place plants of varying heights and leaf shapes around seating areas to encourage guests to sit and relax. Group the plants in odd numbers as studies have shown people find that more pleasing than even numbers.
Go Big in Your Home
Plants make great focal points. If you have a corner that needs a little extra something, consider an ornamental tree. As an alternative, place a medium-sized plant placed on a plant stand.
What About Windowsills?
If you are lucky enough to have box windows (check with your Marvida builder to see if you can add one), you have the perfect frame for medium plants. Sun-loving, tall plants contrast nicely with the outside view. Keep in mind that the temperature around windows fluctuate more than the rest of your home. Remove plants during cold snaps and heat waves.
Pretty Pots
The containers you use to display your plants should fit with your decorating style. They should also be functional, allowing you to care for your plants properly. Terracotta offers the best drainage, but if you aren’t into the rustic look, you can find more modern pots and stands at gardening centers.
Add a Dash of Color
Dot your spaces with flowering plants to add a dash of color to your burgeoning jungle. Favorites include African violets, bromeliads, kalanchoe, and begonia.
Go Vertical
Small spaces shine with the addition of hanging plants. Plants can be hung from the ceiling in macrame holders. You can also craft a living wall utilizing various materials that allow you to hang plants on a vertical surface.
Fill In Shelves
Even the most devoted bibliophile has to admit, the monotony of rows and rows of books could use a little breaking up. Use plants to partition books or simply to fill shelves. They provide contrast and color.
