A new manufactured home community rising along Field Store Road in Waller is offering something increasingly rare in the Houston area: a path to homeownership for less than $90,000. Indigo Skies will include eight floor plans ranging from 1,100 to 1,600 square feet, with prices starting in the high $80Ks and floor plans offering up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Sales are already open, even as construction continues, with a grand opening expected in late 2026 or early 2027.
The community is being developed by Inspire Communities, which describes itself as the owner and operator of manufactured home communities across the country, according to Bisnow. The company says Indigo Skies is intended to make homeownership more attainable, and the pricing bears that out: starting costs in the high $80Ks land well below both the Houston-area median home price of $320,000 and the roughly 20% premium that new construction typically carries over that median, per the same report. Inspire Communities already lists 21 properties in Texas as part of a national portfolio of more than 100 communities.
The homes themselves are built close to home. Champion Homes manufactures the units installed at Indigo Skies at its plants in Burleson and Navasota, according to Champion Homes. The company’s Texas facilities produce single-section, multi-section, and modular homes.
A County Racing to Keep Up With Its Own Growth
Indigo Skies is arriving in a county that barely resembles the rural farmland it once was. Waller County was the second-fastest-growing county in the U.S. last year, adding about 3,800 residents, the station’s report notes. Separately, U.S. Census Bureau population estimates released in March 2026 put that growth at 5.7% between July 2024 and July 2025, pushing the county’s population to nearly 70,000, according to the Texas Tribune…
