Real Estate Agents in Cypress, Texas

Cypress is not one market — it is a master-planned corridor, a ring of established 1990s neighborhoods, and acreage pockets, each with its own diligence. We work all three, in English and Tiếng Việt.

Where Cypress actually sits — and why the Grand Parkway changed it.

Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, northwest of Houston along the US-290 spine. That one fact drives more of a Cypress purchase than any listing photo: there is no city hall, no city property tax, and no city services — utility districts and the county fill those roles, which is why the tax line on two similar houses can differ more than newcomers expect.

The area grew in two waves. The 290 corridor neighborhoods — Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Blackhorse Ranch and their neighbors — filled in through the 1990s and 2000s. Then the Grand Parkway (TX-99) segment opened the land west of Fry and Mason Roads, and the second wave followed it: Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Cypress Creek Lakes, Miramesa and the Stone Gate/Canyon Lakes West cluster. If your commute runs to the Energy Corridor, 99 southbound is the number that matters; if it runs downtown, you are living on 290 and the park-and-ride schedule. We tell buyers to drive the commute at the hour they would actually drive it — the difference between the two corridors at 7:30 AM is not visible on a map.

Master-planned vs. established Cypress — two different purchases.

The master-planned side is not one product — it is five communities, each with its own footprint and amenity logic:

  • Bridgeland, developed by Howard Hughes, is anchored by 900 acres of lakes and waterways and more than 60 miles of trails, including the six-mile Cypress Creek Trail along its northern edge. It is also the only Cypress community with its own zoned Cy-Fair ISD high school built inside its boundary, Bridgeland High School.
  • Towne Lake, built by Caldwell Companies, is organized around a private 300-acre recreational lake with 14 miles of shoreline; residents reach The Boardwalk at Towne Lake — a waterfront dining and retail district — by car or by the community’s own water taxi.
  • Cypress Creek Lakes, started by Mischer Development in 2004 on roughly 1,600 acres, runs three separate recreation centers and 14+ miles of trails around its own network of lakes and ponds — a different scale from Bridgeland’s and Towne Lake’s single flagship lakes.
  • Miramesa, a 920-acre community built out by six different builders, is now entirely resale — no new construction — which shifts the diligence from new-build warranty questions to resale inspection and systems-age questions.
  • Dunham Pointe is the newest entrant, 1,327 acres off US-290 and the Grand Parkway, still actively building with Toll Brothers, Coventry, David Weekley and Tri Pointe on-site and a 25-acre retail village under construction nearby — worth knowing if you want a finished neighborhood rather than one still under construction when you move in.

The established side reads differently, because it was built out first:

  • Fairfield, platted in the late 1980s and 1990s near the US-290/Grand Parkway interchange, spans more than 3,000 acres and is one of the area’s oldest master-planned communities — mature landscaping and a settled HOA instead of one still being handed off from a developer.
  • Coles Crossing, established in 1998 on 1,500 wooded acres west of Telge Road, holds more than 2,500 homes and reads denser and more tree-covered than the newer lake communities further west.
  • Blackhorse Ranch is built around the Blackhorse Golf Club, so golf-course frontage is the defining lot-selection variable there in a way it is not in the other established neighborhoods.

The third Cypress is the one most searches miss: acreage and older homesteads along the Telge and Grant Road corridors, where well-and-septic questions and unrestricted-use parcels change the checklist entirely.

We represent buyers and sellers in all three. The point is not that one is better — it is that the offer, the inspection scope and the questions are different in each, and your agent should know which set applies before you sign anything.

What Cypress homes are actually trading for right now.

“Cypress” is not one ZIP code or one MLS area, so price data varies by source more than most buyers expect — each provider draws the boundary differently. Read the range, not any single number, as the honest answer:

  • Redfin (data as of July 2026): median sale price $385,000 over the trailing three months, up 2.1% year-over-year; $161 per square foot, down 1.2% year-over-year; homes averaging 2 offers and selling in about 48 days.
  • Realtor.com (Cypress listings, referenced August 2026): median list price $430,000 across roughly 1,887 active listings, with a median 42 days on market.
  • HAR.com ZIP-level data: 77429 averaged $515,505 ($174/sq ft) in August 2026; 77433 averaged $564,042 ($197/sq ft) in July 2026 — the higher 77433 figure reflects more of the newer master-planned construction (Bridgeland, Dunham Pointe, the western half of Towne Lake) inside that ZIP.

None of these is “the” Cypress price — they are three legitimate answers to three differently-scoped questions, and list price, sale price and ZIP-wide averages measure different things. The number that matters for your purchase is pulled for the specific subdivision and comp set your address sits in, which is diligence work, not a website lookup. We run that comp set before you write an offer, and we do not quote a figure we have not sourced and dated ourselves.

MUD taxes, flood maps, and what a Cypress offer should account for.

Because Cypress is unincorporated, Municipal Utility Districts fund the water, sewer and drainage. MUD rates vary district to district, and they change over time as districts retire bonds — a neighborhood’s effective tax burden today is not what a 2015 forum post says it is. We pull the actual current rate for any listing you are serious about, along with the HOA obligations that stack on top of it.

Flood diligence is parcel-specific in Cypress. The area drains through Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek, and the floodplain maps were redrawn after Harvey. Two houses on the same street can carry different designations. We read the flood determination on every property, and on the established side we ask the question that matters more than the map: how did this street actually do in the storms it has been through?

None of this should scare you off Cypress — it is why the area works as well as it does. It just means the cheapest part of the purchase is asking these questions before you offer instead of after.

Schools in Cypress: boundaries, not rankings.

Nearly all of Cypress is zoned to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD — one of the largest school districts in Texas. Bridgeland has its own zoned campuses, including Bridgeland High School, and some far-west parcels along the district edge fall in Waller ISD instead. Zoning follows boundary lines, not neighborhood marketing names, and boundaries shift as the district opens new campuses on the growing west side.

District-wide, Cy-Fair ISD operates twelve comprehensive high schools, including Bridgeland, Cy-Ranch, Cy-Woods, Cypress Springs, Cy-Fair, Cypress Creek, Cypress Falls, Cypress Lakes, Cypress Park, Cypress Ridge, Jersey Village and Langham Creek. Which specific campus a given address feeds into depends on the attendance boundary, not the subdivision name — the same street can straddle two zones.

So we treat school zoning as a fact to verify, not a selling point to repeat: for any address you are considering, we confirm the actual zoned campuses against the district’s current attendance boundaries before you write the offer. If a specific campus is the reason you are buying, that check is the difference between getting what you paid for and a surprise at enrollment.

Cypress real estate FAQ.

Which school district serves Cypress?

Nearly all of Cypress is zoned to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, one of the largest districts in Texas. Bridgeland has its own zoned campuses including Bridgeland High School, and some far-west parcels fall in Waller ISD. Zoning follows boundary lines, not neighborhood names — we verify the actual zoned campuses for any address before you offer.

What is a MUD tax, and does Cypress have them?

Most of Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, so there is no city property tax — instead, Municipal Utility Districts fund water, sewer and drainage. Rates vary district to district and change as bonds retire. We pull the actual MUD rate for any listing you are considering.

Is Cypress in a flood zone?

Parts of Cypress sit along Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek, and the floodplain maps were redrawn after Harvey. Flood risk is parcel-specific — two houses on the same street can carry different designations. We read the flood determination for every property before you commit.

What is the difference between master-planned and established Cypress?

Master-planned communities like Bridgeland, Towne Lake and Cypress Creek Lakes are mostly 2010s-and-newer construction with extensive amenity HOAs. Established neighborhoods like Fairfield, Coles Crossing and Blackhorse Ranch date to the 1990s and 2000s, with mature trees and settled infrastructure. They are different purchases with different diligence.

What is the median home price in Cypress, TX?

It depends which source and boundary you use. Per Redfin, data as of July 2026, the median sale price was $385,000 over the trailing three months, up 2.1% year-over-year. Per Realtor.com, referenced August 2026, the median list price across active listings was $430,000. Per HAR.com ZIP-level data, average prices in 2026 ranged from about $515,000 in ZIP 77429 to $564,000 in ZIP 77433, skewing higher toward newer master-planned construction. We pull current, address-specific comps before you offer or list — a citywide figure will not tell you what your subdivision is doing.

How do master-planned and established Cypress communities differ for buyers?

They differ in amenities and build era, not in who should live there. Master-planned communities like Bridgeland, Towne Lake and Cypress Creek Lakes offer lakes, trail systems and resort-style pools built mostly in the 2000s and 2010s. Established communities like Fairfield, Coles Crossing and Blackhorse Ranch offer mature trees, settled drainage history and, at Blackhorse Ranch, golf-course lots. Which fits depends on amenity preference, budget and how much new-construction versus resale diligence you want to take on.
