Midays Find All They Need in Cross Creek Ranch

Cross Creek Ranch - Midays Find All They Need in Cross Creek Ranch

February 24, 2017

As the needs of Jason and Holly Miday’s family changed, so did their homes — three of them in eight years. But one thing remained the same — Cross Creek Ranch.

The couple got engaged in 2009 and immediately started house hunting. Holly, who grew up in Memorial, always thought she would raise her family in that area. But that changed after her first visit to Cross Creek Ranch.

“Jason took me out to Cross Creek Ranch knowing I would never move there, but Trendmaker Homes had a model whose floor plan he thought I’d love,” Holly said. “I hated the floor plan, but loved Cross Creek Ranch.”

Holly said the community’s natural features were what drew her initially.

“At the very beginning I was intrigued by Flewellen Creek,” she said. “When we moved in, the restoration of it was very new, but boards showed what it would look like and I could just see my children playing there.”

The Midays moved into their first Cross Creek Ranch home in December 2009. Their choice for builder on that first home and the next two was Trendmaker Homes.

“I explored other builders, but Trendmaker was a good fit for us,” Jason said.

About four years saw their family grow from four to five, so the Midays decided to buy a bigger home.

“We wanted an extra bedroom and a downstairs guest room,” Jason said. “We loved our home, but we had two children from previous marriages and our family was growing.”

One thing they didn’t want to change was living in Cross Creek Ranch.

“I really enjoy the neighbors and the community in general,” Holly said. “There are so many events going on and the naturalness of the neighborhood is beautiful.”

The family moved into their second home Valentine’s Day 2014 after living with Jason’s parents, John and Terri Miday, for about six months while their home was being built. The downstairs guest room in their new home came in handy as living arrangements flipped — after visiting Cross Creek Ranch frequently to see their grandchildren, John and Terri decided to make the move there from Sugar Land, living with their son and his family about six months while their home in Cross Creek Ranch was being built.

“We were just in Sugar Land, but that half-hour distance was enough to keep us from going as often as we’d like,” John said. “After they lived with us for six months and moved on, we were reliving empty nest syndrome.

“And Cross Creek Ranch has a lot of amenities that allow us to do what we want to do — hike, bike and enjoy the water park. Plus, we wanted something on the water, but not the typical McMansion you have to buy to live on the water. We found a builder in The Villas who had a one-story floor plan that was perfect. It really was a confluence of several things that brought us to Cross Creek Ranch.”

Fast-forward to 2017 and Jason and Hope are again seeing their family’s needs change with their oldest child leaving for college soon. This time, they decided to downsize in Cross Creek Ranch.

“We found a property on the greenbelt and on an oversized cul-de-sac that will allow us to create a side yard for a pool,” John said. “It will be that ‘something special’ we look for in every home.”

And they found it all in Cross Creek Ranch.
