Dellrose at a Glance

Figures are point-in-time and vary by section and address — verify before relying. Not legal or tax advice.

Where Dellrose Is

Dellrose sits on the north side of US-290 at Bauer Road in Hockley, which puts it just west of the Grand Parkway and about 35 miles northwest of downtown Houston. The community fills the land between Becker Road on the west and Bauer Road on the east, with Zube Park bordering it to the northwest and the Cy-Fair Sports Association complex directly across Bauer Road; the welcome center is at 17312 Springfield Meadow Drive. Cypress Green, the other active master plan in Hockley, is a few miles east on FM 2920, and Bridgeland’s northern sections are a short drive south down the Grand Parkway.

Every home in Dellrose is in unincorporated Harris County. That surprises some buyers because the schools are Waller ISD, but the county line runs west of the community, so your appraisal district is HCAD, your permits and drainage run through Harris County, and the tax stack is a Harris County stack. The community immediately to the southwest, The Grand, sits in a different water district (Harris County WCID 155), so I check the taxing units on the exact address for every home I show here.

Rough drive times, which peak traffic will stretch: downtown Houston 40 to 50 minutes via US-290 outside rush hour, the Energy Corridor 30 to 40 minutes down the Grand Parkway, the Galleria about 45 minutes, and the Texas Medical Center 55 minutes or more. Bush Intercontinental is 35 to 45 minutes east on the Grand Parkway. I always suggest driving your own commute at the hour you’d actually be on the road before you decide.

The Feel of the Area

Dellrose is a community that has mostly arrived. The developer’s own count says fewer than 100 homesites remained when it opened the final section, and the Harris County roll shows about 1,389 homes built across 19 sections, so nearly nine in ten lots already have a house on them. You’ll see some construction on the newest streets around Rosebud Valley Lane and Autumn Spur Lane, and everywhere else the lawns are in, the trees have a few years on them, and the amenities are finished and in use.

The center of the community is the lake. The main entrance sign sits on its bank, and a fountain runs in the middle of it, with the amenity center, pool, and splash pad on the far side. Tennis courts are next to the center. Two playgrounds anchor different parts of the neighborhood, Adventure Park and Lady Bird Park, so most sections have a park within a short walk. Trails connect the sections, and Bryan Lowe Elementary sits inside the community on Conifer Farm Drive, which means a lot of the school traffic is on foot or a bike.

Dellrose Homes for Sale: the Stock and the Market

Dellrose is a resale community with a small new-construction tail. HAR’s 2025 Facts panel for the subdivision counts 1,479 single-family homes with a median year built of 2021, a median 2,294 square feet, and a median lot of 6,581 square feet, so the typical house is a three- or four-bedroom, one- or two-story brick home a few years old on a 45-to-55-foot lot. The earliest sections date to about 2018, and the newest, Section 18, is where Empire Homes is building on 40-foot “Heritage Collection” lots.

On values, HAR shows a median market value of $336,083 and a neighborhood range of $279,000 to $409,000 for 2025, with a median of $161 per square foot; HCAD’s 2025 roll puts the median for built homes at about $339,600, with the middle half between roughly $312,000 and $380,000. On September 4, 2026, 30 homes were on the market at an average list price of $381,584 and $159 per square foot, and 10 were for rent at an average of $2,606 a month. The rental count matters if you’re buying: with ten homes for rent against thirty for sale, investor-owned homes are a steady part of the resale supply here, and that keeps pricing disciplined.

New construction is down to one builder with inventory. Empire Homes‘ sales center is at 31706 Rosebud Valley Lane, with seven floor plans from 1,527 to 2,649 square feet starting in the low $300,000s, and a quick-delivery home in Section 18 was listed at $299,500 in early September 2026. Ashton Woods is still listed on the developer’s site, but its own site no longer carries a Dellrose page and the listing aggregators showed no homes available in late August, so treat it as closing out and call before you drive. Chesmar, Lennar, and Coventry built earlier sections and have sold out, which means many of the resales you’ll tour are their homes. The developer’s builders page still says “five award-winning homebuilders”; that count is the community’s history, and today’s roster is shorter.

For a buyer, the practical takeaway is that a two-year-old Lennar or Chesmar resale and a brand-new Empire home in Section 18 are often within $20,000 to $40,000 of each other. The new home comes with a builder warranty and, as of September 2026, an incentive package that ran to $35,000 or a discounted rate through the builder’s lender; the resale often comes with a finished backyard, blinds, and a lower lot premium. I price both against the same comps before recommending one.

What It Costs to Own in Dellrose

Property taxes. Dellrose has one utility district, Harris County MUD 319, and one school district, Waller ISD, so every section carries the same stack. On the 2025 adopted rates, verified line by line at the Harris County Tax Office and on an HCAD parcel in Section 18, the combined rate is about 3.09 percent of value:

On a $340,000 home that’s about $10,500 a year before exemptions. The homestead exemption changes that materially: under the propositions Texas voters approved in November 2025, the school-district homestead exemption is $140,000 ($200,000 for owners 65 and over or disabled), which alone trims the Waller ISD line by roughly $1,490 a year on that home, and the Harris County and MUD homestead exemptions reduce it further. Dellrose is outside the Lone Star College taxing district, and the North Harris County Regional Water Authority charges a pumpage fee on the water bill, so neither shows up on the tax statement.

The MUD line is the one buyers ask about, and the trend is worth knowing. MUD 319 has adopted $1.50 in 2020, $1.375 in 2022, $1.27 in 2023 and 2024, and $1.20 in 2025, as the district’s debt has matured; the 2025 rate splits $0.355 for maintenance and $0.845 for debt service. HAR’s listing pages still display the 2024 stack (about 3.19 percent), so if a listing sheet and this page disagree, the county’s current posting is the number to use. The district is operated by Regional Water Corporation, and it also serves the neighboring Windrow community. Confirm the parcel’s rate at HCAD.org and the adopted rates at the Harris County Tax Office.

HOA dues. The Dellrose Homeowners Association assessment is $1,050 a year, mandatory, based on a September 2026 listing, and the association is managed by Van Mor Properties (832-593-7300), which is where resale certificates and account questions go; the developer’s HOA page lists common-area landscaping and irrigation, pool operation, and lifeguarding among what the dues cover. There is no bundled internet service in the dues, which is a difference from Cypress Green’s $1,621 combined figure.

Resale fees. A transfer fee is collected at closing when a Dellrose home resells, and the amount isn’t published; Texas caps the resale-certificate charge itself at $375. On any listing I take here, I order the resale certificate early so the fee is on the seller’s net sheet from the start.

Rates and fees vary by parcel and change each fall when new rates are adopted. Not legal or tax advice.

Dellrose Schools

All of Dellrose is zoned to Waller ISD. I confirmed the assignment for the current Section 18 streets on the district’s own attendance locator in September 2026, and it runs Bryan Lowe Elementary, Waller Junior High, and Waller High School. The Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, are:

Bryan Lowe Elementary is the campus that changes daily life here. It opened for the 2024–25 school year on Conifer Farm Drive inside the community, enrolls about 1,050 students, and is a Purple Star campus; before it opened, Dellrose was zoned to Roberts Road Elementary on Zube Road. The junior high and high school are in the city of Waller, about 10 and 11 miles northwest, and the district runs buses. Cypress Green, the community just east on FM 2920, feeds Schultz Junior High instead, so the two Hockley master plans are on different junior-high tracks even though they share a high school.

Waller ISD’s 2015 bond program described an on-site elementary and a future on-site middle school for Dellrose. The elementary is built; the middle school has not been announced as of September 2026, and until the district announces it, I’d treat it as a possibility. District boundaries also move as this corridor grows.

Verify any specific address on the Waller ISD attendance-zone locator or with the district at (936) 931-3685, and check ratings at txschools.gov.

Getting Around & Commute

US-290 is the road. From the Bauer Road entrance you’re on the freeway in a couple of minutes, and the Grand Parkway interchange is about four miles east, which is the route to the Energy Corridor, Katy, and Bush Intercontinental. Toward town, US-290 carries you to Beltway 8 in roughly 20 minutes off-peak and to the 610 Loop in 35 or so; the US-290 HOV lane helps at rush hour. METRO runs Park & Ride service to downtown from the US-290 corridor in Cypress; confirm the nearest lot for your schedule at ridemetro.org. Hobby Airport is the long trip, well over an hour in traffic. If you’ll drive to central Houston every day, budget 45 minutes each way and test it before you write an offer.

Flood Risk — What to Check Before You Buy

Dellrose maps as FEMA Zone X, minimal flood hazard, at every point sampled across the community in the September 2026 research, which means it sits outside both the 100-year and 500-year floodplains and lenders generally don’t require flood insurance. The community drains to the upper Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek watershed and is well away from the Addicks and Barker reservoir pools. The homes date from about 2018 forward and were built under Harris County’s current detention standards, and no community-specific flooding has been documented.

That record is short because the community is young, so I still recommend an elective flood policy; in Zone X it’s inexpensive, and after Harvey this whole watershed treats the map as a starting point. Before you make an offer, check the property’s specific designation at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and ask for its flood history — risk varies street to street, sometimes lot to lot.

Things to Do Nearby

Inside the community, the amenity center, pool, splash pad, and tennis courts sit on the lake near the main entrance, with Adventure Park and Lady Bird Park serving the neighborhoods farther in. Just outside it, the corridor has more than people expect for a place that was pasture ten years ago:

• Zube Park on Roberts Road borders the community to the northwest and is Harris County’s big Hockley park, known for the working model steam and diesel trains that run on weekends.
• Kleb Woods Nature Preserve on Draper Road near Tomball offers wooded trails and a nature center, about 15 minutes east.
• The Cy-Fair Sports Association (CFSA) complex sits directly across Bauer Road from the community and is the youth-sports hub for the corridor.
• Houston Premium Outlets at US-290 and Fairfield Place is about 10 minutes toward town, with Cinemark 12 Cypress, Target, and the Fairfield-area restaurants around it.
• The Boardwalk at Towne Lake in Cypress, about 20 minutes south, is the corridor’s lakeside dining row.
• Golf is close: Longwood Golf Club on FM 2920 and BlackHorse Golf Club on Fry Road are both within 20 minutes.

For everyday errands, the H-E-B, Kroger, and Walmart on US-290 in the Fairfield area are the usual stops, roughly 10 minutes away; Hockley itself has a community center and a handful of local restaurants along FM 2920 and Hegar Road.

Is Dellrose the Right Fit?

Dellrose fits a buyer who wants the benefits of a master plan without the construction years. The school, the pool, the lake, and the parks are all open; the taxing structure is one MUD and one ISD with a rate that has come down each year; and the price of a three- or four-bedroom home built since 2019 runs from the high $200,000s to about $400,000. Because most of the community is resale, you also have a real choice of streets and floor plans at any given time.

Things to plan for: the 3.09 percent tax rate is higher than older Cypress neighborhoods that have paid down their MUD debt, and it needs to be in your monthly payment from day one. The junior high and high school are in Waller, about 10 miles away, so those years mean a bus ride. The commute to central Houston is real at 40 to 50 minutes, and the new-construction choice is narrow, with one builder and a limited set of 40-foot lots. If you want the newest home at the lowest price in this corridor, Cypress Green‘s larger builder lineup may serve you better; if you want a finished community with an elementary school inside it, Dellrose is the stronger fit.

If Dellrose sounds like your kind of place, or you’re weighing it against Cypress Green or Bridgeland, that’s a conversation I have often. Call or text me at 281-500-7077, or email kevan@houstonprimerealty.com, and I’ll walk you through what’s on the market and how it compares. We’ll agree on representation and how it’s paid up front, in writing.

Work With a Dellrose Realtor

The detail I’d want every Dellrose buyer to know is that the two Hockley master plans share a school district and differ on the tax bill: Dellrose is served by Harris County MUD 319 at $1.20, and Cypress Green by MUD 547 at $1.50, which is a difference of about $1,000 a year on a $340,000 home. Dellrose also zones to Waller Junior High while Cypress Green zones to Schultz. I know those numbers because I pulled them from the county’s tax-rate posting and an HCAD parcel in September 2026, and I checked the school assignment on Waller ISD’s own locator. That’s how I approach everything on this page: the builder roster came from the developer’s live page and each builder’s own site, the HOA figure from a current listing, and the flood zone from FEMA’s map layer.

Most of what sells in Dellrose is a resale a few years old competing against the last new homes, and that’s a negotiation where having your own real estate agent pays for itself. One of my buyers put it this way: “Kevan negotiated on my behalf, recommended the best areas to purchase a house, and gave me his honest opinion on anything I had a question about. He saved me thousands of dollars.” — Rene C., buyer.

I’m Kevan Pewitt, a REALTOR® and the broker-owner of Houston Prime Realty. I’ve held my Texas real estate broker’s license since 1989, and I hold the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. My HAR client surveys average 5.0 across 229 verified post-closing reviews, and Texas Monthly has named me a Five Star Professional for 11 years. Dellrose is part of my work as a Hockley real estate agent, so I can price it against Cypress Green, Bridgeland, and the Waller-side acreage as well as against its own comps.

Call or text me directly at 281-500-7077. If you’re planning to see the Empire model this weekend, let me know first so your representation is on record from the start.

Quick Answers

Hockley, TX 77447, in unincorporated Harris County. Dellrose is on the north side of US-290 at Bauer Road, west of the Grand Parkway. The schools are Waller ISD, but the county is Harris, so HCAD is the appraisal district and the tax stack is a Harris County stack.

How far is Dellrose from Houston?

Dellrose is about 35 miles northwest of downtown Houston, typically 40 to 50 minutes via US-290 outside peak traffic. The Energy Corridor is 30 to 40 minutes down the Grand Parkway, the Galleria about 45 minutes, Bush Intercontinental 35 to 45 minutes, and the Texas Medical Center 55 minutes or more.

What school district serves Dellrose?

Waller ISD, throughout: Bryan Lowe Elementary (inside the community, 2026 TEA rating B, score 81), Waller Junior High (C, 78), and Waller High School (B, 82). Verify a specific address on the Waller ISD attendance locator, since boundaries move as the corridor grows.

Is there a school inside Dellrose?

Yes. Bryan Lowe Elementary, a PK–5 Waller ISD campus at 31502 Conifer Farm Drive, opened for the 2024–25 school year inside the community and enrolls about 1,050 students. Waller ISD’s 2015 bond described a future on-site middle school as well; it has not been announced as of September 2026.

What are the property taxes in Dellrose?

About 3.09% combined on 2025 adopted rates: Waller ISD 1.0626, Harris County MUD 319 at 1.2000, Harris County entities 0.6289, and two emergency services districts at 0.10 each, all per $100 of value. On a $340,000 home that’s roughly $10,500 a year before exemptions; the $140,000 school homestead exemption cuts the Waller ISD line by about $1,490. HAR’s listing pages still show the 2024 stack of about 3.19%. Confirm the parcel at HCAD.org.

What MUD is Dellrose in, and is the rate going down?

Harris County MUD 319, operated by Regional Water Corporation, is the only utility district serving Dellrose. Its adopted rate has fallen from $1.50 in 2020 to $1.375 in 2022, $1.27 in 2023 and 2024, and $1.20 in 2025, split $0.355 maintenance and $0.845 debt service. Rates are adopted each fall, so check the current year at the Harris County Tax Office.

What’s the typical home price in Dellrose?

HAR’s 2025 Facts panel, as displayed September 4, 2026, shows a median market value of $336,083 and a value range of $279,000 to $409,000 on a median 2,294 square feet, with a median year built of 2021. Thirty homes were listed at an average of $381,584 that day. New construction from Empire Homes starts in the low $300,000s.

Is Dellrose still building new homes?

Yes, but in its final section. As of September 4, 2026, Empire Homes is the builder with inventory, at 31706 Rosebud Valley Lane, with seven plans from 1,527 to 2,649 square feet on 40-foot lots. Ashton Woods is still listed by the developer but showed no available homes in late August 2026; Chesmar, Lennar, and Coventry built earlier sections and have sold out.

Is Dellrose in a flood zone?

Dellrose maps as FEMA Zone X, minimal flood hazard, at every point sampled in September 2026, outside the 100- and 500-year floodplains, in the Cypress Creek / Little Cypress Creek watershed. Flood insurance is generally not required by lenders in Zone X. Still check the exact address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and request the property’s flood history.

What are the HOA dues in Dellrose?

$1,050 a year, mandatory, to the Dellrose Homeowners Association, based on a September 2026 listing; the dues cover common-area landscaping, the pool and amenity center, and the parks and trails. A transfer fee is also collected when a home resells; confirm the current figures through the resale certificate from the management company, Van Mor Properties (832-593-7300), since they aren’t published.

Do I need my own real estate agent to buy new construction in Dellrose?

You aren’t required to have one, and I’d recommend it. The builder’s sales staff work for the builder and sell on the builder’s contract, and Empire records who represents you on your first visit. With your own real estate agent, someone reviews the contract, the lender-tied incentive, and the lot premium from your side, and compares the new home against the two-year-old resales down the street. We’ll agree on how I represent you and how that’s paid up front, in writing. Text me at 281-500-7077 before your first visit.

Who is a good real estate agent for Dellrose?

Look for someone who has verified this community at the source: the 3.09% tax stack from the county’s posting, the single MUD and its falling rate, the Waller ISD assignment from the district’s locator, and which builder actually has homes left. I’m Kevan Pewitt, a REALTOR® and the broker-owner of Houston Prime Realty, licensed as a Texas broker since 1989; my HAR client surveys average 5.0 across 229 verified reviews. I checked each of those items at the source in September 2026 and photographed the community in August, and I’m glad to walk you through them. Call or text 281-500-7077.
