The Grand Prairie Celebrates Opening of On-Site Emergency Services District Campus, Bringing First Responders Closer to Hockley Residents
Residents of The Grand Prairie and the surrounding Hockley area now have access to enhanced local emergency services with the opening of the Waller-Harris County Emergency Services District (ESD) 200’s Station 43 within The Grand Prairie, a master-planned community developed by EMBER.
Located on a three-acre site along the south side of Baethe Road, a quarter mile west of Warren Ranch Road, the 15,006-square-foot facility houses fire and emergency medical services vehicles, personnel and equipment. Its location brings critical emergency response resources and first responders closer to residents of The Grand Prairie and neighboring communities, supporting the area’s continued growth.
“Having this facility open is an important milestone not only for The Grand Prairie, but for the entire Hockley community,” said Joe Grabinski, director of development for EMBER. “As the area continues to grow, investing in infrastructure that supports residents’ safety and quality of life is essential. We’re proud to have played a role in bringing this important resource to the community and helping ensure emergency services are closer to the people who need them.”
The ESD campus is one of several investments in infrastructure and community amenities at The Grand Prairie, which is designed to bring together the conveniences of modern living with the charm and connection of a close-knit community.
Comfortably located off the beaten path, yet minutes from a variety of conveniences, The Grand Prairie is six miles west of the Grand Parkway and one mile south of U.S. 290. Located within Waller Independent School District, the community offers homes priced from the mid-$200,000s to more than $700,000, with a variety of styles and floor plans from six builders: David Weekley Homes, Lennar, Perry Homes, Shea Homes, Village Builders and Westin Homes.
Community amenities include The Sundancer, featuring two pools, a splash park, playground, green spaces and a community building; The Starlight, a 3.5-acre amenity complex in The Highlands at The Grand Prairie, featuring a resort-style swimming pool with lap lanes, two lighted lakeside pickleball courts and an expansive playground; miles of interconnected trails; the 70-acre paddle-friendly Lake Ember; a network of lakes and waterways; and approximately 450 acres of dedicated parkland, including The Overlook, a 40-foot hill at the heart of the community that is open to the public.
When fully complete, The Grand Prairie will include approximately 6,000 homes across 1,730 acres.
