North Star Pointe (Formerly Grand Harbor)
This is a new upscale gated community on NW Lake Bridgeport. It was developed last year (2004-2005) on land that was part of the Sid Richardson Boy Scout Ranch. The original developer sold out shortly after purchasing the land from the Boy Scouts. It has recently changed names to North Star Pointe.
North Star Pointe is a highly restricted gated community. According to some residents on Lake Bridgeport, the restrictions may severly limit one's total enjoyment of the lake. For example, the restrictions only allow property owners to store one five gallon can of gas on their property. Now, the nearest gas pump is at the Marina and you will pay plenty for it. The nearest gas station is 25 minutes away, so that's an hour's round trip. How would you manage your acerage, your boats, and your other water craft with just one can of gas? In addition, RV's, ATVs, and Golf Carts are prohibited in the development.
Unfortunately, many gated communities use boiler plate CC&R's that were designed for life in urban settings. North Star Pointe is way out of the way, at the end of some pretty rural roads - a good hour and thirty minutes from the DFW metroplex.
Be sure to ask for and read the CC&R's before making any decisions. The phone number for North Star Pointe is:1-800-710-0977 Ext 12
