About Sundara Homes
What does "Designed for Life, Built for Generations, Built Around the Human Experience" actually mean?
It’s a departure from transaction-focused development. “Designed for Life” means intentionally creating spaces that support emotional, physical, social, and spiritual wellbeing. “Built for Generations” reflects a commitment to communities that endure, not developments built to flip. “Built Around the Human Experience” puts people at the center of every decision, addressing modern challenges like loneliness and disconnection through design principles drawn from the world’s healthiest and longest-living cultures.
How long has Sundara been around, and who founded it?
Sundara Homes was founded in 2026 in Houston, Texas, by industry leaders in technology, alternative investments, senior living and hospitality. Together they developed the Centenarian Village model and founded Sundara to bring it to communities across Texas, with K7 Capital Partners as a strategic investment partner. The pipeline includes more than 2,400 single-family and multifamily homes across six Texas communities.
Are you a licensed Texas builder and brokerage?
Yes. Sundara operates under a Texas Real Estate Commission-licensed brokerage (TREC #818096) and builds under the required municipal and county permits in every market it serves. License information and consumer protection notices appear on every page of the website and in every contract.
What kinds of homes do you build?
Both single-family and multifamily residences, including single-family homes for sale and lease, duplexes, independent-living senior homes, and build-to-rent communities. The flagship Sundara Lytle community includes all of these product types, plus a mixed-use development with hotels, healthcare, and retail.
What is the Centenarian Village model, and how does it shape what you build?
It’s a human-centered philosophy built on the idea that people thrive when wellness, connection, purpose, and belonging are intentionally designed into everyday life. It reimagines communities as living ecosystems that support healthier, longer, more meaningful lives across every generation, inspired by studying the world’s longest-living populations. The model rests on six principles: the five-minute walk, intergenerational design, mixed asset classes, a holistic wellness ecosystem, sustainable design, and a self-reinforcing local economy.
What does "Active Connected Living Communities" mean?
It describes environments where residents are engaged, energized, supported, and deeply connected to the world around them. “Active” goes beyond physical activity to encompass vitality, wellness, lifelong learning, social engagement, and outdoor experiences. “Connected” speaks to relationships across every dimension of life, and “Living Communities” means dynamic ecosystems rather than static developments – because people live longer, healthier, and happier lives when they feel connected.
Bluebonnet Lytle (Our Flagship)
What is Bluebonnet Lytle?
Bluebonnet is a First-of-its-kind master-planned community that blends single-family investment rentals, active adult living, and vibrant retail into one thriving ecosystem in Lytle Texas. This is not simply another housing development. It is a thoughtfully curated lifestyle ecosystem designed for residents, families, retirees, and investors alike.
A 598-home master-planned community in Lytle, Texas, twenty minutes southwest of downtown San Antonio, built in four phases: 153 single-family rentals plus a clubhouse (Phase 1), 96 duplexes (Phase 2), 221 family homes plus 114 active adult residences (Phase 3), and a mixed-use core with hotels, urgent care, physician offices, and retail (Phase 4).
Why did Sundara choose Lytle for the flagship?
Three reasons: proximity to major regional growth (a $900 million hyperscale data center, Toyota Manufacturing Texas 12 minutes away, JBSA-Lackland 15 minutes north, and an Amazon fulfillment center 10 minutes away); pricing below comparable San Antonio suburbs with existing infrastructure already in place; and enough land to design a true master-planned, mixed-use community without the constraints of an in-fill build.
Phase 1 is rentals only. Why?
The build-to-rent design fits the corridor’s demographics: JBSA-Lackland personnel on 24-36 month assignments, construction trades needing short-term housing, and younger families exploring master-planned community living before buying. Phase 1 also activates the clubhouse before Phase 2 and 3 buyers move in, so the community is already up and running by the time they arrive.
Can I buy a Phase 1 home, or only rent?
Phase 1 is rental-only – the 153 homes are independently owned and managed by Sundara’s buyer network. For-sale opportunities are available in Phase 2 (duplexes), Phase 3 (senior and family homes), and Phase 4 (mixed-use). Phase 3 reservations open in summer 2026.
What's special about the Phase 3 senior homes?
Two things. First, they are independent-living homes where residents own the deed and live autonomously – no on-site medical staff, no required meal plan, no monthly care fee, and no age-of-visitor restriction. Second, they are designed for aging in place – single-story, wider doorways, curbless showers, lever hardware, pre-blocked walls for grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and LED lighting – while sitting on the same streets as the family homes.
What are the Phase 3 family homes like?
221 family homes across six floor plans, ranging from a 3-bedroom, 1,400 sq ft starter home to a 5-bedroom, 2,800+ sq ft home with a study and three-car garage. They share the same four exterior elevations as Phase 1 with upgraded finishes, on lots from 0.18 to 0.32 acre, with select premium lots backing onto greenbelt – all within walking distance of the clubhouse delivered in Phase 1.
What's in the 10,000 sq. ft. clubhouse?
Outdoors: a pool with a shaded lounge, a pickleball court, a dog park, three BBQ pavilions, a community garden, a children’s turf play area, and walking and jogging trails. Indoors: a fitness center, ballroom, library, media room, game room, card room, billiards, ping pong, an arts and crafts studio, and a computer room – plus an on-site community manager and a full calendar of programmed events.
When will Phase 4 (retail and healthcare) open?
Phase 4 is currently in design review, with a staged opening expected roughly two years after Phase 3 starts delivering homes – in the 2029 to 2031 window. Hotel, urgent care, and retail tenants will be announced as leases are signed.
What schools serve Sundara Lytle?
Lytle Independent School District (TEA-rated), zoned to Lytle Elementary, Lytle Junior High, and Lytle High School. Specific zoning is confirmed by lot at contract.
Buying / Leasing Process
How do I lease a Phase 1 home at Sundara Lytle?
Pre-leasing is open now. Add your name to the pre-lease list, and when Phase 1 deliveries begin in Q1 2027, pre-lease members get first selection of available homes. The standard application requires ID, proof of income (typically 3x rent), a credit check, and a refundable security deposit. Lease terms of 12 or 24 months are offered.
How do I purchase a Sundara home?
Three steps. An advisor reviews available inventory with you in person, by video, or by phone. You sign an Earnest Money Contract and place earnest money (typically 1% of the purchase price) into escrow. You close at the title company after the certificate of occupancy is issued – most closings complete in 21 to 35 days from contract.
Do I need to use a real estate agent?
It’s not required, but agents are welcomed. Texas-licensed REALTORs receive their full commission from Sundara at closing, at no cost to you. If you don’t have an agent, Sundara’s on-site licensed broker advisors represent the transaction directly. Texas law requires written disclosure of brokerage representation via the TREC IABS form, shared at first contact, every time.
What does it cost to close in Texas?
Standard buyer-side closing costs in Texas typically run 2 to 3 percent of the purchase price, covering title insurance, recording fees, property tax prorations, HOA fees, and lender fees. Texas has no state income tax and no residential real estate transfer tax. Costs are itemized at the contract stage.
Do you accept VA, FHA, and USDA loans?
Yes, all three. Sundara is an experienced VA-loan-friendly builder, popular with military families near JBSA-Lackland, and the lender desk helps compare VA against conventional financing. Several communities qualify for USDA rural-area financing, and FHA is supported across all communities.
During Construction
Can I visit my home during construction?
Yes – visits are encouraged. Every buyer is invited to structured walkthroughs at three milestones: pre-drywall, mechanical inspection, and final pre-closing. Additional visits can be scheduled with the community’s construction superintendent with advance notice, for safety and insurance reasons.
Can I customize my home?
Lightly. A structured upgrade menu offers flooring upgrades, kitchen counters, premium appliances, smart-home expansions, and selected layout modifications – the earlier you sign, the more flexibility you have. Phase 1 rental homes are not customizable, to keep the rental phase consistent across the community.
What if there's a delay?
New construction typically runs 6 to 11 months from groundbreaking to certificate of occupancy. Contracts specify delivery windows with remedies including termination and a full earnest money refund. As a young builder, Sundara sets its windows conservatively and communicates progress monthly to every buyer in an active contract.
After You Move In
What is included at closing for a for-sale home?
Keys, a recorded warranty deed, a title insurance policy, the certificate of occupancy, a builder warranty package (1-year workmanship, 2-year systems, 10-year structural), appliance and equipment manuals, paint codes, and a pre-closing inspection report – paid for by Sundara and conducted by an independent Texas-licensed home inspector.
How does the warranty work for renters in Phase 1?
Sundara’s rental affiliate is the long-term owner, so warranty issues are the company’s responsibility, handled through property management. Residents submit maintenance requests through a portal; most issues are resolved within 7 business days, and emergency items – water leaks, HVAC, electrical – within 24 hours.
Is there a warranty on for-sale homes?
Yes: a standard builder warranty of 1 year on workmanship, 2 years on mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), and 10 years on structural elements, issued through a third-party company and transferable on resale. Customer Care handles all in-warranty service requests.
Do you handle the HOA?
Yes, initially. For Bluebonnet at Lytle and other for-sale communities, Sundara establishes the HOA, drafts the bylaws and covenants, and runs operations for the first 12 to 18 months after enough homes have delivered. Control then transfers to an elected homeowner board. Phase 1 rentals operate under a separate residents’ association.
Texas-Specific Questions
Why are property taxes so high in Texas?
Texas has no state income tax, so local services – schools, roads, emergency services – are funded primarily through property tax. Effective rates typically range from 1.8% to 2.6% across Sundara communities, depending on the county, school district, and any MUD/PID assessments. Texas also offers a homestead exemption that reduces taxable value for owner-occupants.
Is Sundara Lytle in a MUD or PID?
It is not currently inside a Municipal Utility District. Any PID participation will be confirmed at contract, and if a home falls within a special-purpose taxing entity, that’s disclosed in writing with full assessment details before you commit.
How does Sundara design homes with Texas weather in mind?
.
How do Texas property taxes work for new construction?
In year one, taxes typically apply only to the land value, since the home was not on the tax roll as of January 1. Year two applies the full assessed value – a “tax surprise” that is disclosed in writing before contract. A homestead exemption, if the home is owner-occupied, helps significantly; apply through the county appraisal district within the first year of move-in.
Are your communities in good school districts?
Sundara does not enter markets with under-performing school districts – every community zones to a TEA-rated B or A district.
Other Questions
How is Sundara different from a national homebuilder?
Three distinctions: Sundara is Texas-headquartered and Texas-focused, not spread across thirty markets; customer care is in-house and Texas-based, not a national call center; and Sundara commits to multi-phase, mixed-use projects like Lytle that national builders often avoid because of the long build cycle – even though they make for better places to live.
Do you have any sustainability commitments?
Every home meets ENERGY STAR(R) standards, with high-efficiency HVAC (16+ SEER), LED lighting throughout, low-E double-pane windows, smart programmable thermostats, and tankless water heaters as standard features. Communities also incorporate rainwater retention features, native Texas landscaping, and mature-tree preservation wherever the lot plan allows.
I'm just looking. Will I be hassled with calls?
No. Files marked as exploratory receive only quarterly check-ins with relevant updates – new community releases, market notes, or a heads-up on incentives. You can opt out of communication at any time, no questions asked.
