Jersey Village Realtor & Real Estate Agent — Your Guide to Jersey Village, TX 77040, 77064 & 77065

Working with a Jersey Village REALTOR®

In Jersey Village, the first record I open on any home is the appraisal district’s. The city shares its three ZIP codes, and HAR’s “Jersey Village” search area, with subdivisions outside the city limits that carry their own MUD, HOA, and tax bill, while every home inside the city pays the same eight taxing units with no MUD. About half of the city’s recorded lots also touch FEMA’s high-risk floodplain, so the flood map, the seller’s flood history, and an insurance quote come next, along with the age of the roof, sewer line, and electrical panel. For a seller, it means pricing against sales in your own section of the city rather than broad “Jersey Village area” averages, and having your flood documents ready before the first showing.

My full background is on my About page. Buyers can start with my Buying guide, which lays out each stage from pre-approval to keys, and sellers with how I price and market homes.

My office is in northwest Houston, about five miles west of Jersey Village along the US-290 corridor. As a REALTOR® and broker-owner, I’ve held a Texas real estate broker license since 1989, I hold the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation, I’ve been named a Five Star Professional real estate agent in Texas Monthly for 11 years, and clients rate me 5.0 out of 5.0 across 231 verified surveys on HAR.com.

• 937 of the city’s 1,848 recorded lots touch FEMA Zone AE or the floodway — the high-risk floodplain, with at least a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year, often called the 100-year floodplain — and about 25% of the city’s area is in it. Jersey Village is not in the Addicks or Barker reservoir watershed.
• From US-290 at FM 529, Downtown Houston is typically 30 minutes to 1 hour at 7:30 a.m. (about 22 miles) and 18 to 26 minutes at 11 a.m. (about 17 miles), per Google Maps typical times for a weekday in October 2026.

Where Jersey Village Is — and Where the City Stops

Jersey Village sits in west-central Harris County along US-290, the Northwest Freeway, and the Union Pacific rail line that runs beside it, with Beltway 8 at its southeast corner and White Oak Bayou running through the middle of town. It sits among unincorporated Harris County subdivisions, and many addresses in and around it use a Houston mailing name, so many people assume it’s a Houston neighborhood, but the city has its own government, its own police department, a fire department that also provides EMS, and its own water and sewer system, all on about 3.5 square miles of land. Most of the city lies south of US-290 between Senate Avenue and Jones Road, and a northwest arm runs north of the freeway toward West Road and North Eldridge Parkway.

The ZIP codes are where it gets confusing. Most of the city, including City Hall on Lakeview Drive, is in 77040; its northwest sections are in 77064 (Lakes of Jersey Village and Wyndham Lake) and 77065 (The Enclave at Castlebridge). All three ZIP codes are mostly outside the city, and HAR’s wider “Jersey Village” search area takes in unincorporated subdivisions such as Willowbridge, Winchester Country Trails, Steeplechase, and Fairview Gardens, which have their own MUDs, HOAs, and tax bills. An address can read “Houston” or “Jersey Village” either way, so the parcel record decides it: if “City of Jersey Village” is among the taxing units on the Harris Central Appraisal District record, the home is inside the city.

Jersey Village began in 1953, when Clark W. Henry, with N. E. Kennedy and Son, started developing homesites on Jersey Lake; one account holds that Henry had run a dairy and named the development for his Jersey cows. The community incorporated in 1956 and grew from 493 residents in 1961 to 7,921 at the 2020 Census, according to the Handbook of Texas.

The Jersey Village Real Estate Market

In the 12 months ending October 19, 2026, 48 single-family homes in the City of Jersey Village sold at a median price of about $397,000, according to HAR MLS data. That works out to about $170 per square foot, and sellers received a median of 97% of their list price after a median of 31 days on the market. Sale prices ran from the high $100,000s to the mid $800,000s. On October 19, 2026, 23 homes were for sale at a median list price of about $449,000, or about 6 months of supply, which I read as a balanced market where well-priced, well-kept homes still sell and dated ones leave room to negotiate.

The typical home that sold was built in 1978, with about 2,400 square feet on a lot of roughly 12,750 square feet, close to three-tenths of an acre. Almost everything for sale is a resale: no tract builder is active inside the city, and new homes are scattered custom builds and rebuilds. Figures are HAR MLS single-family data for City = Jersey Village, pulled October 19, 2026; every record named a subdivision inside the city limits. Ask me for numbers on a specific section.

Three small plats — Golf View Garden Homes, Northwest Village Townhomes, and Lakeside Estates — add 23 more lots. Just outside the limits, subdivisions in HAR’s “Jersey Village” search area, such as Willowbridge and Winchester Country Trails, sit in unincorporated Harris County with their own MUDs and HOAs. North of the city, Waller Park is a trailhead for the walking path that follows White Oak Bayou through those neighborhoods.

Property Taxes in Jersey Village — a City Tax Instead of a MUD

Every home inside the city pays the same eight taxing units: the City of Jersey Village, Cy-Fair ISD, Harris County, the Harris County Flood Control District, the Port of Houston Authority, the Harris County Hospital District, the Harris County Department of Education, and Lone Star College. There is no MUD and no emergency services district on any in-city home, and the appraisal district records I checked in all three ZIP codes list the same eight units. Rates per $100 of value:

Here’s what that means on a $400,000 home, close to the city’s median sale price (rounded; each unit applies its own exemptions, so lines may not add exactly):

With a homestead exemption, Cy-Fair ISD exempts $140,000 of the home’s value plus its own 20%, the city and the Harris County units each exempt 20%, and Lone Star College exempts 8%. Owners 65 and older or disabled get an extra $75,000 from Cy-Fair ISD, owners 65 and older get an extra $113,000 from the city, and an over-65 owner’s school tax is capped at the amount in the year they qualified. The state minimums behind the school numbers, $140,000 for every homestead and $60,000 of the extra over-65 or disabled amount, were approved by Texas voters in November 2025 and apply starting with the 2025 tax year. Filing with the appraisal district is free.

City, county, and college taxes come on one bill from the Harris County Tax Office, and Cy-Fair ISD sends its own school-tax bill. Rates are from the Harris County Tax Office, the appraisal district, and each taxing unit; the 2026 examples leave out the Department of Education’s rate, which adds well under $100 a year on this home. Worked examples are approximate. This is general information, not tax advice. For comparison, my post on what a MUD district is in Texas explains how the neighboring subdivisions’ rates work.

Jersey Village Schools

All of Jersey Village is in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, which the Texas Education Agency rated “B” (86) for 2026. On Cy-Fair ISD’s own 2026–27 zone locator, 2,110 of the city’s 2,205 single-family homes are zoned to Post Elementary (B, 82), Cook Middle School (B, 84), and Jersey Village High School (B, 86), which sits inside the city on Solomon Street. The exception is The Enclave at Castlebridge in the city’s northwest corner: its 95 homes are zoned to Emmott Elementary (C, 72), Campbell Middle School (C, 78), and Cypress Ridge High School (B, 83).

Zoning follows the exact address and Cy-Fair ISD redraws boundaries as it grows, so confirm a home’s campuses on the Cy-Fair ISD site and check ratings at txschools.gov. Ratings above are TEA 2026 ratings for the 2025–26 school year. My Cy-Fair ISD school directory covers every campus, and these pages show the homes for sale zoned to each Jersey Village campus: Jersey Village High School · Cook Middle School · Post Elementary · Cypress Ridge High School · Campbell Middle School · Emmott Elementary.

Flood Zones and Flood History

Flood homework is the biggest part of buying in Jersey Village, because White Oak Bayou runs right through town. On FEMA’s current maps, 937 of the city’s 1,848 recorded lots touch Zone AE or the floodway — the high-risk floodplain, with at least a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year, often called the 100-year floodplain — and 642 of them are at least half inside it. About 25% of the city’s area is in that floodplain, about 22% is shaded Zone X (a 0.2 percent annual chance), and the rest is Zone X, FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available; homes outside mapped floodplains can still flood. Most of the floodplain lots are in the original sections, Country Club Estates, and Wyndham Village; Lakes of Jersey Village, Wyndham Lake, The Enclave at Castlebridge, and The Park at Jersey Village together have just one. Whether flood insurance is required depends on the home’s FEMA zone and your loan, so we confirm it with your lender and get a quote either way.

The city reports that about 200 homes flooded in Tropical Storm Frances in 1998, about 500 in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, more than 200 in October 2002, and 230 in the April 2016 Tax Day flood, which it calls the last major flood. A lot has been built since then. According to the city, the Harris County Flood Control District has put more than $95 million into White Oak Bayou improvements over 20 years, including the Jersey Village diversion channel, completed in 2010, and detention basins upstream, and the city has completed more than $25 million in street and drainage reconstruction over a decade. A berm around Jersey Meadow Golf Course was completed in April 2022, and the city has grant funding to raise homes in two phases. Jersey Village is not in the Addicks or Barker reservoir watershed, so no lot in the city sits on reservoir land, although the Addicks watershed’s edge is less than a mile from the nearest lot.

The effective flood maps are panel 48201C0440N, revised November 15, 2019, for the west side of the city, and panel 48201C0445M, effective June 9, 2014, for the east side; some homes have a letter of map amendment that removes them from the mapped floodplain. FEMA released draft countywide map data for Harris County in February 2026, but it’s technical-review data, with official approval expected in November 2028, so today’s maps still govern insurance.

For any home I’m helping you buy, I pull the parcel’s FEMA zone at msc.fema.gov, the seller’s flood disclosure and claims history, and any elevation certificate or map amendment. Then we get flood insurance quotes during the option period, whether or not the home is in a mapped flood zone. The point is to know the specific home’s history and cost of coverage before you commit.

Living in Jersey Village

The city owns Jersey Meadow Golf Course and runs it through its Parks & Recreation department. Clark Henry Park, home to the city pool and splash pad, and Carol Fox Park are the city’s largest parks, with a trail around the detention pond, and the civic campus on Lakeview Drive hosts city events such as Movies in the Village and the Fall Frolic.

Setting Up Utilities in Jersey Village

Because Jersey Village is its own incorporated city, move-in works a little differently than in the MUD neighborhoods around it: the city runs the water and sewer system, there’s no MUD tax on any home inside the city limits, and most of the city has no HOA. One thing to check first: a “Jersey Village” mailing address isn’t always inside the city, so look for “Jersey Village” among the taxing units on the home’s HCAD record before you rely on any of this.

Water, sewer & trash. The City of Jersey Village is the water and sewer provider. You open a new account with the city’s online Residential Water and Sewer Application on its water & sewer connections page, and you pay online, sign up for e-bills or set up a free bank draft through the city’s water/sewer payments page. Bills are due by the 25th of each month, and the city posts its current rates on its water and sewer rates page. The city contracts trash, yard-waste, recycling and bulky-item pickup with GFL Environmental — trash twice a week, recycling once — and the schedule is on the city’s trash & recycling page. Water-main breaks and sewer backups go to the city’s Public Works on-call crew; the Public Works page explains how to reach them.

Electricity (you choose your provider). Jersey Village is in the deregulated Texas market, so you pick your own retail electric provider. The poles, wires and meter belong to CenterPoint Energy (centerpointenergy.com) — that’s who you report an outage to, whoever’s name is on your bill — and you shop for a plan at the state’s official marketplace, PowerToChoose.org. Set it up before closing so the power is on in your name the day you get keys.

Natural gas. The gas utility in Jersey Village is CenterPoint Energy (centerpointenergy.com); gas is regulated, so there’s nothing to shop. Most homes here have gas, but confirm the house you’re buying has a gas meter before you open an account.

Internet & TV. In October 2026, the FCC’s broadband map showed Xfinity cable, Ezee Fiber, AT&T, fixed-wireless service and satellite at the Jersey Village address I checked, and AT&T says its fiber reaches parts of Jersey Village. Providers and speeds vary street to street, so look up your exact address on the FCC National Broadband Map and confirm with the provider before you schedule an install.

HOA. There’s no citywide homeowners association, and the recent listings I checked in the original Jersey Village and Country Club Estates sections showed no HOA dues. At least five newer subdivisions inside the city have their own associations — Lakes of Jersey Village (managed by VanMor Properties), The Park at Jersey Village, Wyndham Lake, Wyndham Village and The Enclave at Castlebridge (look any of them up at hoa.texas.gov). If you’re buying in one of those, or in one of the city’s small townhome plats, the resale certificate at closing names the association and its dues.

City services. Jersey Village runs its own police department and its own fire department, which also provides ambulance service — there’s no ESD tax. The city’s Parks & Recreation department manages the parks, the pool and splash pad, and the city-owned Jersey Meadow Golf Course. You can sign up for city emergency and weather alerts on the Stay Informed page.

After you close. File your homestead exemption with the Harris Central Appraisal District at hcad.org — online or with HCAD’s app. It’s free, and you never need to pay a third party to do it. Your property taxes arrive on two bills: city and county taxes from the Harris County Tax Office, and school taxes from the Cy-Fair ISD Tax Office.

Water, trash and gas are the same across the city, but HOAs and their dues vary by neighborhood. When you’re buying in Jersey Village, I’ll hand you a printable move-in sheet for your specific neighborhood with every number to call.

Utility providers, districts and coverage vary by address and change over time — verify for your specific home before relying on any of the above. Not legal or tax advice.

Quick Answers

How do I choose a real estate agent in Jersey Village, TX?

Ask each real estate agent questions only someone who works Jersey Village can answer: is this address inside the city limits, what is its flood history and elevation, and which Cy-Fair ISD campuses is it zoned to? Then ask to see the comparable sales behind any price they quote, and read verified client reviews on a third-party site like HAR.com. I’m Kevan Pewitt, a Jersey Village REALTOR® and broker-owner of Houston Prime Realty, and I’m glad to be one of the people you interview. My full checklist is in how to choose a REALTOR® in Houston.

Is Jersey Village part of Houston?

No. Jersey Village is a separate incorporated city that has governed itself since 1956. It has its own police department, a fire department that also provides EMS, and its own water and sewer system. It sits among unincorporated Harris County subdivisions, and many addresses in and around the city use a Houston mailing name, which is why the two get confused.

Is my Jersey Village address actually in the city?

Not necessarily. The city covers only part of its three ZIP codes — most of it is in 77040, with its northwest sections in 77064 and 77065 — and HAR’s “Jersey Village” search area includes subdivisions outside the city with their own MUDs and HOAs. An address can read “Houston” or “Jersey Village” either way. If City of Jersey Village is among the parcel’s taxing units on its Harris Central Appraisal District record and no MUD is listed, the home is inside the city.

Where is Jersey Village, TX?

Jersey Village is in west-central Harris County on US-290, with Beltway 8 at its southeast corner and White Oak Bayou running through town. From US-290 at FM 529, Downtown Houston is about 22 miles and typically 30 minutes to 1 hour at 7:30 a.m., or about 17 miles and 18 to 26 minutes at 11 a.m., per Google Maps typical times for a weekday in October 2026.

Does Jersey Village have a MUD or an HOA?

Not a MUD. No home inside the city limits is in a MUD: the City of Jersey Village provides water and sewer service and levies a city tax instead. There’s no citywide HOA either, and the original sections have none, but at least five newer subdivisions inside the city have their own associations: Lakes of Jersey Village, The Park at Jersey Village, Wyndham Lake, Wyndham Village, and The Enclave at Castlebridge. Subdivisions just outside the city usually have both a MUD and an HOA.

What are property taxes in Jersey Village, TX?

Every home inside the city pays the same eight taxing units, with no MUD. The combined 2025 rate was $2.616453 per $100 of value before exemptions, about $10,500 a year on a $400,000 home, or about $6,900 with a homestead exemption. For 2026, the city adopted $0.817625 and Cy-Fair ISD’s rate depends on a November 3, 2026 election, so the 2026 total will be $2.751795 or $2.638891 per $100 before the Department of Education’s small rate. Confirm the rates and exemptions for the specific address.

What school district is Jersey Village in?

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, rated “B” (86) by the Texas Education Agency for 2026. On Cy-Fair ISD’s 2026–27 zones, 2,110 of the city’s 2,205 single-family homes are zoned to Post Elementary, Cook Middle School, and Jersey Village High School, which is inside the city; the 95 homes in The Enclave at Castlebridge are zoned to Emmott Elementary, Campbell Middle School, and Cypress Ridge High School. Confirm zoning for the exact address with Cy-Fair ISD.

Is Jersey Village in a flood zone?

Part of it is. On FEMA’s current maps, 937 of the city’s 1,848 recorded lots touch Zone AE or the floodway — the high-risk floodplain, with at least a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year, often called the 100-year floodplain — and about 25% of the city’s area is in it, mostly along White Oak Bayou in the original sections, Country Club Estates, and Wyndham Village. The rest is shaded Zone X (a 0.2 percent annual chance) or Zone X, FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available; homes outside mapped floodplains can still flood. The city reports about 500 homes flooded in Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 and 230 in the 2016 Tax Day flood, and major drainage projects have been built since. Check the specific address on FEMA’s map, along with its flood history and elevation.

What neighborhoods are in Jersey Village, TX?

Jersey Village, TX neighborhoods include the original Jersey Village sections and Jersey Village Country Club Estates around Jersey Meadow Golf Course and White Oak Bayou, which hold most of the city’s homes, plus Jersey Village Northwest Estates and the newer subdivisions with their own associations: Lakes of Jersey Village, The Park at Jersey Village, Wyndham Village, Wyndham Lake, and The Enclave at Castlebridge. Nearby subdivisions such as Willowbridge and Winchester Country Trails are outside the city in unincorporated Harris County.

What’s the real estate market like in Jersey Village?

In the 12 months ending October 19, 2026, 48 single-family homes in the City of Jersey Village sold at a median price of about $397,000, about $170 per square foot, after a median of 31 days on the market, per HAR MLS. With 23 homes for sale on October 19, 2026, the city had about 6 months of supply, a balanced market.

What does a real estate buyer’s agent cost in Jersey Village, TX?

There’s no set rate. Compensation is negotiable and is set in a written buyer representation agreement before showings begin, which Texas law has required since January 1, 2026. It can be paid three ways: the seller offers it as part of the listing, you ask for it as a seller concession in your offer, or you pay it at closing. I’ve never had a buyer client pay it themselves; it has been covered within the deal, through the seller’s offer or a negotiated concession. The only time you would pay it is if you decide to buy a home where the seller won’t contribute, and you’ll know where it stands before any purchase contract is executed, and whether to sign is always your decision. More detail is in how real estate buyer’s agents get paid in Texas.
