Sagemont is one of the newer subdivisions in the area, and was built around the same time as adjacent Kirkwood and Scarsdale Communities. Some of the older subdivisions in the community include Beverly Hills, Gulf Palms, and the Genoa town site. Originally consisting of just five homes, Sagemont did not have a water district and the families living in the homes then had none of the amenities routinely featured today. Drawing water from a ground well and traveling along dirt roads became the norm for the "pioneers" of this area. Sagemont is part of a unique area southeast of downtown Houston known as the Ellington/South Belt Community. Its prime location at the intersection of I-45 (Gulf Freeway) and Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) is only now being fully realized with the completion of the much anticipated tollway. The completion of Beltway 8 has stimulated residential and commercial development throughout the area and new home construction is booming near the western subdivision of Bridgegate. The other half of the areas name comes from Ellington Airfield, which is in close proximity to the Ellington/South Belt community. Ellington Field, a general aviation airport that was once a military training field, is at the eastern edge of the community. Alameda Mall is the center of a large retail and commercial district that spreads across both sides of the Gulf Freeway. The grazing cattle and gulf marshes that once dominated this area have been replaced with an estimated 10,000 single-family dwellings here, most built in the last 20 years. Residents of Sagemont enjoy a state of the art Recreation Center that includes a pool and is operated by the city of Houston during the summer months. The Sagemont Recreation Center provides area youth after-school enrichment programs, which emphasize fitness, awareness, crafts, self-esteem and field trips. Students are served by the Pasadena and Clear Creek School Districts.
