Cypress: Big-Scale Suburban Living Along the Grand Parkway.
Cypress is one of northwest Houston's biggest suburbs, home to some of the region's largest master-planned communities. From the trails of Bridgeland to the waterfront boardwalk at Towne Lake, Cypress offers a wide range of amenities and housing, served by one of the biggest school districts in the state.
Northwest Harris County along US 290 and the Grand Parkway (SH 99), roughly 25 miles from downtown Houston.
The Cypress-Fairbanks (Cy-Fair) ISD serves the area, one of the largest school districts in Texas.
Bridgeland's extensive trail network and Towne Lake's large recreational lake anchor the lifestyle.
Vast master-planned communities with homes from entry-level to luxury across a wide price range.
Where the Grand Parkway Meets the Lake Life.
Cypress grew around two anchors: Bridgeland, with its extensive trail network and village pools, and Towne Lake, built around a large private lake with a real waterfront dining district. For buyers who want resort-style amenities on the northwest side, Cypress is worth a close look.
It is a big market with a wide price spread, which means the right fit depends on knowing the individual communities and their school attendance zones. That is where our working knowledge of the area makes the difference for buyers coming from Katy or from out of state.
