Markborough's philosophy is to select the finest home builders for New Territory and work closely with them to provide buyers with the best choices and values to fit any budget and lifestyle.
Amenities
New Territory's master plan includes more than 350 acres of parks, recreation centers, lakes and greenbelts. Highlights of New Territory's completed amenities include:
• The Club at New Territory, an 18,600-square-foot clubhouse and resort-style swimming and tennis complex, is set upon elaborately landscaped grounds. The clubhouse is completely equipped with an NBA regulation-size basketball court, fitness center, and activity rooms. This premier center also includes eight lighted tennis courts and facilities for baseball, soccer, and volleyball. The center also provides a vast array of social, educational, and recreational programs for the whole family.
• The Cunningham Creek Recreation Center and Ellis Creek Recreation Center are two more facilities within easy walking distance of any New Territory home. Both provide swimming, tennis, sand volleyball, playgrounds, and a sports park for such activities as baseball and soccer.
• Major water amenities include the 12-acre Lake Clayton and 15-acre Lake Sartartia, in addition to several other neighborhood lakes.
• New Territory's Pecan Park is situated on an 8.5-acre preserve of stately pecan trees along the southern shore of Lake Clayton. Pecan Park is located within a 60-year-old pecan grove and provides residents with picnic pavilions and playgrounds. New Territory also provides miles of lush greenbelt trails for walking, jogging and biking throughout the community
