Lighting in Sienna Plantation (Houston: neighborhoods, school, moving)

[big blue]

I know this may be an odd topic but I was travelling through Sienna Plantation and Riverstone and noticed that Sienna Plantation is dimly lit at night (roads, walkpaths, sidewalks) compared to Riverstone. Is this something SP planned or is SP planning adding more lights eventually?

We are looking at moving into either communities and are just seeing what we like and dislike.

I think it's more of an old-school Houston thing. Plus Sienna seems darker due to the large number of trees. If you go into the more wooded areas of Riverstone you have the same issues.


We found everything darker here when we moved down from Canada many moons ago.


I'm sure as the current lights age out, they'll likely be replaced by LED's but I don't foresee that being done as a priority.

May be required due to the George observatory across the Brazos river.

Nice observation about the observatory. I had forgotten it was back on the other side of the river.

I did go through again the neighborhoods again and indeed riverstone does like 3x more lighting on the main access roads.
