How does a town nicknamed for its mud become synonymous with comfort and belonging? Atascocita has welcomed new residents since 1756, when Spanish settlers first established the Atascocito military outpost here. The name comes from the Spanish word "atasco," which referenced its muddy environment, and early travelers had to navigate swampy terrain to reach this settlement.
Yet what once challenged those early pioneers has evolved into something remarkable: a community where thoughtful apartment design and your living space truly feel like home from day one. Today's Atascocita has transformed its muddy beginnings into solid foundations for families seeking that immediate sense of belonging, where modern design principles create spaces that turn a house into a home.

Safety comes first when designing aging-friendly design spaces at Fountainwood. But we don't give up style for security. Every apartment has important safety features while still feeling like a beautiful home.
Our senior apartment layouts focus on practical things that make daily life easier and safer:
These aren't just safety boxes we check off. They're important parts of creating spaces where you can live with confidence.
The best senior living spaces don't feel like hospitals -- they feel like home. Accessible senior housing should be comfortable and personal. That's exactly what we focus on at Fountainwood.
Each apartment has its own climate control. You can set your temperature exactly how you like it. That kind of control over your comfort makes a big difference in how happy you feel in your space.
Natural light comes through big windows with pretty views of our landscaped grounds. Some units even have private balconies or patios -- perfect spots for your morning coffee or evening relaxation.
But here's what matters: you can bring your own furniture and decorations. We want you to! True comfort comes from having familiar things around you that tell your story. Plus, we welcome pets because we know many seniors think of their furry friends as family.
Independence means staying in control of your daily life. Our assisted living floor plans help with this through practical features. They cut down on how often you need help while keeping your dignity and privacy.
You'll find full kitchens in independent living units and smaller kitchens in assisted and memory care apartments. Modern appliances, granite counters, and stainless steel options mix function with good looks. Whether you love cooking full meals or just want to make snacks, you have choices.
Big closets and storage space make staying organized easy. Walk-in closets work no matter what your mobility needs are. Some independent living apartments have washer and dryer hookups (though we also have community laundry services).
Private bathrooms in all floor plans respect your privacy while adding safety features. Plus, weekly housekeeping and laundry services free you from chores so you can focus on activities you enjoy.
We know seniors have different likes and needs. That's why Fountainwood offers six different floor plan options. They range from 615 to 1,145 square feet.
Our floor plan choices include options for every lifestyle:
All floor plans have the same important comfort features: private baths, lots of storage, walk-in closets, walk-in showers, modern finishes, and your own climate control. Some apartments have patios or balconies for private outdoor time.
Memory care accommodations need a unique design that balances safety with dignity and comfort. Our memory care spaces have secure, enclosed courtyards and a special neighborhood designed just for residents with dementia or other memory challenges.
These spaces use calming colors, clear sight lines, and simple layouts that reduce confusion while letting residents explore safely. Familiar design elements and homelike finishes help residents feel comfortable, while special security features provide protection without feeling like restrictions.
Great apartment layout goes beyond your personal unit. It includes the whole community environment. Fountainwood offers features that encourage both independence and social connection.
Pretty walking trails wind through our landscaped grounds. They provide safe, easy routes for daily exercise and fresh air. Indoor spaces include a demonstration kitchen for cooking activities, private dining rooms for family celebrations, activity rooms, a library, and game rooms.
On-site services like our salon and barber shop, community transportation, and tech help let you keep your preferred senior lifestyle while getting support when needed.
Fountainwood's apartment design philosophy knows that physical spaces deeply affect emotional and social well-being. Our floor plans and community spaces purposely encourage both independence and community connection.
Multiple lounges and gathering spaces give you opportunities for social interaction. Private apartments offer personal retreat spaces. This balance lets you engage with your community when you want to, while keeping your privacy and independence.
The arts and crafts center, billiards lounge, and butterfly garden offer places for creative expression and meaningful activities. We believe retirement should be a time of continued growth and exploration, not limits.
Great apartment design creates the foundation for meaningful retirement living. At Fountainwood at Lake Houston, our thoughtfully crafted spaces prove that independence and support can work together beautifully. Our caring team makes sure residents enjoy home-like comfort while staying connected to a vibrant community that helps mind, body, and spirit.
