Lakes of Parkway, Houston

[5] Sueba USA, a subsidiary of Süba Freie Baugesellschaft,[6] acquired a 330-acre (130 ha) tract from the Paul Barnhart family for $9.6 million in order to build a residential subdivision.

"[6] Barnhart owed $1 million in property taxes; because the purpose of the land was changing to commercial uses instead of agricultural uses, Sueba paid off the debt as part of the deal.

"[4] Peggy O'Hare of the Houston Chronicle wrote that in 2002, when adult entertainment businessperson Evan Howard Loewenstein moved to Lakes of Parkway, "he immediately drew attention" by installing security equipment and materials at his house and having a frequent entourage.

[3] Residents complained to the homeowners association because many cars were parked in front of the house, while they were required to be in the driveway.

[3] On May 12, 2005, federal agents and Houston Police Department (HPD) SWAT officers served a search warrant and arrested Loewenstein and his ex-wife, and a bank bought the foreclosed house for $700,000 ($1092042.94 when adjusted for inflation) at an auction in June 2005.

[4] For beautification reasons and for increasing drainage capabilities,[5] plans included building seven lakes,[4] placing them on 50 acres (20 ha) of the community's land.

[11] Residents zoned to Ashford, Askew, Bush, and Daily may attend Shadowbriar Elementary School's magnet program.
