Howdy Riceland Residents!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Annual Meeting. We had 68 homeowners in attendance, which was great to see! We truly appreciate everyone who took the time to come out, ask questions, and stay involved in what is happening in the community.

Our theme this year was “Love Where You Live,” and that really showed throughout the evening. There was a lot of good conversation about where we are and what is coming next as Riceland continues to grow. Your participation and feedback truly make a difference.

If you were not able to attend, the full Annual Meeting presentation has been posted on the community website. It includes updates on operations, amenities, and what to expect in the year ahead.

We will also be sending out a brief recap next week highlighting some of the key takeaways from the meeting.

As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We appreciate your involvement and look forward to another great year in Riceland.

Please note that the City of Mont Belvieu will be closed on Monday, February 16, in observance of Presidents’ Day, so the Association office will be closed as well. Management will be working remotely and available during normal business hours.

See you around the neighborhood!

Community Standards Reminder: Exterior Lighting

Just a quick reminder about exterior lighting in the community. This includes porch lights, garage-area lights, and any other exterior lights you can see from the street. Colored bulbs are fine during holiday periods. Outside of holidays, exterior lights should stay neutral in color, like white or soft warm tones, to keep a consistent look throughout the neighborhood.

If you’re thinking about changing your exterior lighting and are not sure if it fits within the guidelines, feel free to reach out before making the switch. We are always happy to help.

Thanks for helping keep Riceland looking great.

We are thrilled to have you here with us at Riceland! Our events are created to help you connect with neighbors, make new friends, and enjoy memorable moments together.

*These events are for Riceland residents and their guests only and are subject to change. Supplies and food provided at events are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please consider this when attending events with your neighbors.
