Lower Todville

Todville is comprised of an eclectic mix of people and homes - one of the uniquenesses that we loved.  Along a two-mile-long stretch of road some of these water-front homes date back to the 1880s and some were built just this year. Most have full-time residents, but some are weekend-homes for Houstonians or vacation homes for out-of-staters. Styles range from simple beach cottages to 7500 sq ft luxury homes. In this day and age of planned communities it was refreshingly different. That will all change now. As I've walked our road, it's obvious that the homes that survived are those built in the last 10 years. Although all the neighbors I've spoken with say they will rebuild, there will be no more "old" homes and the "look" of Todville will never be the same.
