Oakwood Estates Realtor & Real Estate Agent — Your Guide to Oakwood Estates, Waller TX 77484
I’m Kevan Pewitt, a REALTOR® and the broker-owner of Houston Prime Realty, a Texas real estate broker since 1989, and I help buyers and sellers as the Oakwood Estates Realtor and real estate agent in Waller and along the US-290 corridor. Oakwood Estates is Ashton Gray Development’s lake community on the west side of Field Store Road, about a mile north of US-290. It sits inside the City of Waller, in Harris County. The appraisal district’s roll shows 551 recorded lots in four sections, 392 of them with a home, and K. Hovnanian, Ashton Woods and DRB Homes are building in the newer sections. Its schools are Waller ISD’s, and the 2025 tax rate added up to 3.227928 percent before exemptions. The community is built around a lake of about 28 acres with a trail, a lakeside pool and a covered pavilion. Over the 12 months to October 11, 2026, 102 homes here sold at a median of about $342,000, per HAR MLS. I built this guide from the Harris Central Appraisal District’s parcel roll, Harris County’s tax office, Waller ISD’s own zoning tool, the MUD’s notice to purchasers, the HOA’s certificate on file with the county clerk, FEMA flood maps checked against every recorded lot, and HAR MLS data.

Where Oakwood Estates Is
Oakwood Estates fills the land on the west side of Field Store Road, south of Knebel Road. Oakwood Drive is the entrance off Field Store Road at the south end of the community, and US-290 is about a mile south. To the west, open land separates the community from FM 362, and Attwater sits on the far side of FM 362. About a mile south on Field Store Road, Waller High School and Schultz Junior High sit together on one Waller ISD campus. The drive from Oakwood Estates to US-290 doesn’t cross a railroad, while trips into downtown Waller, south of the freeway, cross the Union Pacific line at grade.
The four recorded sections run from the south end to the north. Section 1, at the Oakwood Drive entrance along Field Store Road, holds the amenity center and the water plant reserve. Section 2 is the west side of the middle of the community. Section 3 is the northwest corner toward Knebel Road, and Section 4 wraps the lake on the northeast side along Field Store Road. Sections 1 and 2 are built out; Sections 3 and 4 are where builders are working now. HAR lists the community as “Oakwood Ests” and the MLS uses both spellings, so the market figures here cover both. The developer is Ashton Gray Development of Sugar Land; Ashton Woods, with a similar name, is one of the builders.

Inside the City of Waller, in Harris County: Who Taxes and Serves Oakwood Estates
The Harris Central Appraisal District carries every parcel, Harris County’s map of unincorporated areas leaves out all four sections, and the public tax roll lists the City of Waller among each lot’s taxing units.
Nine taxing units bill each lot: Waller ISD, Harris County, the Harris County Flood Control District, the Port of Houston Authority, Harris Health, the Harris County Department of Education, the City of Waller, Waller-Harris ESD 200 for fire and EMS, and Harris-Waller Counties MUD No. 12, which financed the water, sewer, drainage and road facilities. On Harris County’s tax records, the MUD’s levy appears as “HC MUD 554”; the rate is $0.99 per $100 under either name. The City of Waller operates the water and sewer system and supplies natural gas, so your monthly utility bill comes from the city.
The MUD is early in its borrowing. Its 2026 notice to purchasers shows $14.49 million of bonds issued for water, sewer, drainage and roads, against $277.9 million authorized for those purposes and parks. As more bonds are sold, more of the MUD’s rate goes to repaying them. At $0.99, the MUD line is about 31 percent of the 2025 total, and every payment estimate I run includes it.
The Feel of the Area
Life in Oakwood Estates centers on the lake. The developer and builders describe it as about 28 acres; on the plat, it’s a detention reserve of about 29 acres in Section 4, and a walking trail circles it. The lakeside amenity center has a pool with a pool house, a covered pavilion with restrooms, a playground and a picnic area. The pool is open from April 4 through October 31, 9 AM to 9 PM, and closed on Tuesdays, per the HOA manager’s site (October 2026). My photos from an October 2026 visit show the entry, the lake, the pool and pavilion, the playground and the trail.

Oakwood Estates Homes for Sale and What They’re Selling For
Every home here is a detached single-family home, built or underway since 2023, in one- and two-story plans. Section 1 was platted with 151 lots 55 feet wide and 25 lots 60 feet wide. Three builders had Oakwood Estates pages up on October 11, 2026:
- K. Hovnanian Homes lists homes from the upper $200,000s, with plans from about $295,000 to $365,000 (about 1,660 to 2,720 square feet).
- Ashton Woods lists plans from about $340,000 to $440,000 (about 2,250 to 3,600 square feet).
- DRB Homes lists homes starting from about $263,000 (about 1,610 to 3,050 square feet).
K. Hovnanian and DRB were also advertising incentives. Builders reprice and change incentives often, so treat these as a snapshot from one week and ask which section and lot each price covers.

I pulled the HAR MLS numbers for Oakwood Estates on October 11, 2026. Over the previous 12 months, 102 homes closed at a median of about $342,000, about $142 per square foot, and a median of 76 days on the market. Closed prices ran from the low $200,000s up to the high $400,000s. Measured against the final list price, the median sale came in at 100 percent; against the original list price, it was about 88 percent, suggesting prices were often cut before a buyer signed. Seller concessions such as closing-cost help brought the median down to about $332,000. The median home sold had about 2,500 square feet on a lot of about 6,800 square feet. As of October 11, the MLS showed 25 active listings priced from about $265,000 to $460,000 (median list about $365,000), with 7 more under contract. At the past year’s pace, that’s about 3 months of supply, and most closings are builder sales, with resales of the first homes starting to appear. On HAR’s price-trend page, the median sold price per square foot slipped from about $155 in 2023 to $151 in 2024 and $149 in 2025. Because Texas is a non-disclosure state, this page reports rounded medians and counts only, never one home’s sale price.

What It Costs to Own in Oakwood Estates
Property taxes. For 2025, Oakwood Estates homes paid $3.227928 per $100 of value, about 3.23 percent before exemptions; that’s the same figure the MLS shows on listings. For 2026, Waller ISD adopted its rate on August 27, and Harris County, the Flood Control District, the Port and Harris Health have adopted theirs. As of October 11, 2026, the City of Waller’s rate was set for adoption at the September 21 council meeting, ESD 200 had proposed last year’s rate, the MUD’s hearing was set for October 20, and the Department of Education’s rate wasn’t posted yet:
| Taxing unit | 2025 rate per $100 | 2026 rate per $100 |
| Waller ISD | 1.0626 | 1.0528 (adopted) |
| Harris County | 0.38096 | 0.4175 (adopted) |
| Harris County Flood Control District | 0.04966 | 0.05266 (adopted) |
| Port of Houston Authority | 0.0059 | 0.00603 (adopted) |
| Harris Health | 0.18761 | 0.19528 (adopted) |
| Harris County Dept. of Education | 0.004798 | not yet posted (2025 rate carried) |
| City of Waller | 0.4464 | 0.5294 (set for adoption) |
| Waller-Harris ESD 200 | 0.10 | 0.10 (proposed) |
| Harris-Waller Counties MUD No. 12 | 0.99 | 0.99 (proposed) |
| Total | 3.227928 | 3.348468 (as currently set) |
On a $340,000 home, close to the median sale price, the 2026 rates come to about $11,400 a year with no exemptions and about $9,400 with a homestead; at 2025 rates, the same home was about $11,000 and $9,000. For a $400,000 home, the 2026 figures are about $13,400 and $11,300. With a homestead exemption, Waller ISD taxes $140,000 less of the value ($200,000 less for owners 65 or older or with a disability), and each of the five Harris County units taxes 20 percent less. The City of Waller’s 5 percent homestead exemption (at least $5,000) comes from the city’s listing with the Waller County appraisal district, so confirm it on the Harris County record. ESD 200 and the MUD give no general homestead exemption. Each figure is rounded to the nearest $100. On a new home, the first bill often covers only the lot or a partial value, so budget for a full year’s tax. For more, see my Texas homestead exemption guide and how MUD districts work in Texas.
Expect three bills: the Harris County Tax Office collects the county units and ESD 200, the Waller ISD Tax Office collects the school district and City of Waller taxes, and Assessments of the Southwest collects for the MUD. Pull the parcel up at hcad.org before you count on these numbers. This is general information, not tax advice.
HOA. Every home belongs to the Oakwood Estates Community Association, Inc., which Community Solutions Unlimited manages. Dues are $635 a year as of October 2026, due January 1, and the MLS lists the clubhouse, common grounds and recreational facilities as what they cover. Under the association’s management certificate, recorded with the Harris County Clerk on March 28, 2025, a resale brings a $250 resale certificate, a $250 transfer fee, and a capitalization fee equal to a full year’s assessment, which the board can change. At today’s $635 dues, those come to about $1,100; a refinance adds a $75 fee. At a resale, the title company orders the resale certificate, and who pays each fee is set by your contract and the TREC HOA addendum.
Oakwood Estates Schools
The Texas Education Agency rated Waller ISD, Oakwood Estates’ district, a B (80) for 2026. On October 11, 2026, I dropped a pin inside each of the four recorded sections in Waller ISD’s Infofinder zoning tool, and all four came back with the same three campuses, all on or near Field Store Road.
| Campus | Grades | 2026 TEA rating | Notes |
| Mary Alice Cure Elementary | PK–5 | B (80) | 20700 Field Store Rd, Waller; ~1 mi straight-line |
| Schultz Junior High | 6–8 | C (75) | 20950 Fields Store Rd, Waller; ~1 mi straight-line |
| Waller High School | 9–12 | B (82) | 31213 Waller Spring Creek Rd, Waller; ~1 mi straight-line |
Some builder marketing still lists other campuses; Waller ISD’s own tool is the one that governs. Waller ISD has announced more campuses, including a second high school (as reported in May 2025), so attendance zones can shift.
Before you count on a campus, check the exact address in Waller ISD’s Infofinder and current ratings at txschools.gov. Each campus has its own page in my Waller ISD school directory.
Getting Around & Commute
Field Store Road takes you about a mile south to US-290, which carries every route in the table below, and that drive has no railroad crossing. These are Google Maps’ typical-traffic estimates for a Tuesday departure from inside the community, checked October 11, 2026:
| From Oakwood Estates to | Distance | Tuesday 7:30 AM | Tuesday 11:00 AM |
| SH 99 (Grand Parkway) at US-290 | ~15 mi | 16–20 min | 16–18 min |
| METRO Cypress Park & Ride | ~18 mi | 18–24 min | not measured |
| Beltway 8 at US-290 | ~28 mi | 30–50 min | 26–30 min |
| Energy Corridor | ~34–36 mi | 45 min–1 hr 15 min | 35–45 min |
| The Galleria | ~41 mi | 1 hr–1 hr 40 min | 40–55 min |
| Downtown Houston | ~44 mi | 50 min–1 hr 30 min | 40–55 min |
| Texas Medical Center | ~47 mi | 1 hr 5 min–1 hr 50 min | 50 min–1 hr 10 min |
At 11 AM on the same Tuesday, Bush Intercontinental Airport is about 46 miles (40 to 55 minutes) and Hobby Airport about 54 miles (55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes). Trips into downtown Waller, south of US-290, cross the Union Pacific tracks at grade, for example on FM 362, where the federal crossing inventory lists gates and about two through trains a day. The Park & Ride schedule is on ridemetro.org; test-drive the commute at the hour you’d actually leave.
Flood Risk — What to Check Before You Buy
Zone A, which includes Zone AE, is FEMA’s high-risk floodplain, often called the 100-year floodplain: the land has at least a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year, and a federally regulated or insured lender requires flood insurance on a home there. Zone X is FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available, and a home outside the mapped floodplain can still flood.
On October 11, 2026, I tested all 551 recorded lots against FEMA’s effective map, panel 48201C0160L (effective June 18, 2007). None of the 551 lots touches Zone A, Zone AE, or the regulatory floodway, and none touches the 0.2 percent annual chance area either; the closest lot line is about 35 feet from the Zone AE boundary. Zone AE and a floodway follow Kickapoo Creek east of Field Store Road, and the only Oakwood Estates parcel that touches Zone AE is the roughly 29-acre lake reserve, which is the community’s drainage and detention basin.
The community sits on a watershed divide. 403 lots, including all of Sections 1 and 2, most of Section 3 and part of Section 4, drain to upper Cypress Creek, and 148 lots, most of Section 4 and a few in Section 3, are in the Kickapoo Creek–Spring Creek watershed. Oakwood Estates isn’t in the Addicks or Barker Reservoir watershed; each watershed’s nearest edge is about 12 miles from the lots. The oldest homes here date to 2023, after Hurricane Harvey (2017), so the community has no Harvey record of its own. The Harris County Flood Control District’s MAAPnext draft flood maps weren’t tested lot by lot for this guide.
On any home you’re considering, look up the address in FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and the MAAPnext draft viewer, read the seller’s disclosure on a resale, and price flood insurance for that house no matter its zone.
Things to Do Nearby
Inside the community, the lake trail, the pool and pavilion, and the playground are where neighbors cross paths. A short drive away:
- Waller: Buc-ee’s Waller on US-290 at FM 362, and downtown Waller, south of the freeway.
- Parks: Zube Park and the Hockley Recreational Complex, both about 8 miles away as the crow flies.
- Prairie View: Prairie View A&M University, west of Waller by way of US-290.
- Shopping: the Cypress retail corridor along US-290, to the east.
- Hospital: Memorial Hermann Cypress Hospital, about 15 miles (16 to 20 minutes) east on US-290.
Is Oakwood Estates the Right Fit?
Oakwood Estates makes sense if you want a home built since 2023 in a community organized around a lake, trail and pool, with city water, sewer and gas, and a short drive to Waller ISD’s junior high and high school. You can choose between resale homes on the finished streets of Sections 1 and 2 and builder homes from K. Hovnanian, Ashton Woods and DRB in Sections 3 and 4. With about 3 months of supply, many list prices cut before contract, and builder incentives in play, there’s room to negotiate on price and incentives.
Things to plan for: the 2026 rate as currently set is 3.348468 percent before exemptions, with the city, ESD and MUD rates still pending, and the bill carries city, school, county and MUD lines, and the MUD has sold only a small share of its authorized bonds. Taxes come on three separate bills. Building will continue in Sections 3 and 4, so expect construction traffic for a while, and early resales compete with builder incentives on new homes. Leaving at 7:30 AM, Downtown Houston is 50 minutes to an hour and a half away. City utility accounts are opened in person at Waller City Hall.
To compare nearby, I’ve also written guides to Attwater and Wildrye in Waller, and Dellrose and The Grand Prairie on the Hockley side of the corridor.

Work With an Oakwood Estates Realtor
Oakwood Estates prices split between the resale streets of Sections 1 and 2 and the builders’ new homes in Sections 3 and 4, including Section 4’s lakeside streets, so I compare homes within the same section, builder and plan size before we talk about value. On an Oakwood Estates new home purchase, I register you with the builder at your first model-home visit, set K. Hovnanian, Ashton Woods and DRB plans side by side on similar lots, and check every incentive against the base price and lot premium attached to it. I figure your payment with all nine taxing units, the city and the MUD included, and add the HOA’s resale fees to the closing estimate. Before closing, I make sure you’ve planned the City Hall stop to open water, sewer and gas service. One buyer put it this way: “All of the documents he filled out were completed thoroughly and he was a great help during the negotiation and inspection process.” — Michael C., buyer, Google.

What’s Your Oakwood Estates Home Worth?
Start with an instant estimate from recent MLS sales. When I list a home here, I start from closed sales in the same section, adjust for builder, plan, lot and upgrades, then factor in the builders’ quick move-in homes and incentives that month, because buyers will weigh your home against them.

Setting Up Utilities in Oakwood Estates
Oakwood Estates is Ashton Gray Development’s lake community on Field Store Road, just north of US-290. It sits in Harris County but inside the City of Waller, and that shapes how your utilities work. Here, the city runs the water, sewer, gas and trash, as of October 2026.
Water, sewer & trash. The City of Waller (wallertexas.gov) provides water and sewer and bills trash service. Republic Services hauls the trash under the city’s contract, and Oakwood’s pickup day is Monday per the city’s fee schedule. The city opens and closes accounts only in person at City Hall, so plan a stop there before move-in day. Pay online through the city’s online payment portal; Oakwood is on the city’s Billing Cycle 2. Oakwood Estates is also in Harris-Waller Counties MUD No. 12, which finances the water, sewer, drainage and road facilities and shows up on your property-tax bills; the city operates the system, and your monthly bill comes from the city.
Electricity: you choose your provider. Oakwood Estates is in CenterPoint Energy’s delivery area (the HOA reports streetlight outages to CenterPoint), so it’s part of the deregulated Texas market. A few nearby rural areas are served by an electric co-op instead, so confirm your home’s ESI-ID when you sign up. You pick your own retail electric provider and can switch at the end of any contract. CenterPoint (centerpointenergy.com) owns the poles, wires and meter, so call CenterPoint about an outage, no matter whose name is on your bill. Shop and sign up at the state’s official marketplace, PowerToChoose.org, before closing so the power is on in your name the day you get keys.
Natural gas. Inside Waller city limits, natural gas is supplied by the City of Waller (wallertexas.gov). Gas is regulated, so there’s nothing to shop. Confirm that the house you’re buying has a gas connection; you set gas up on the same City Hall visit as water.
Internet & TV. The FCC’s map shows AT&T Fiber, Ezee Fiber and Xfinity at a home inside Oakwood Estates, along with fixed-wireless and satellite options such as Starlink. Newer homes take a while to appear on the map, and what’s wired can change from one street to the next. Check the exact address on the FCC National Broadband Map (broadbandmap.fcc.gov) and ask your builder which provider wired your street.
HOA. The community is governed by the Oakwood Estates Community Association, Inc., managed by Community Solutions Unlimited (csutx.com), which posts the community’s documents, pool rules and dues-payment instructions. The association’s management certificate lists the fees collected when a home sells: a resale certificate fee, a transfer fee and a capitalization fee equal to a year’s dues. You can look up management certificates at hoa.texas.gov.
After you close. File your homestead exemption with the Harris Central Appraisal District (hcad.org). It’s free, and you never need to pay a third party to do it. Expect three property-tax bills: the Harris County Tax Office (hctax.net) handles county taxes and the fire/EMS district; the Waller ISD Tax Office (wallerisd.net) handles school and City of Waller taxes; and Harris-Waller Counties MUD No. 12 taxes are collected separately (districtdirectory.org).
Fire and EMS. Fire and EMS come through Waller-Harris Emergency Services District 200 (whesd200.org).
Utility providers, districts, and coverage vary by address and change over time — verify for your specific home before relying on any of the above. Verified October 11, 2026. Not legal or tax advice.
Quick Answers
Is Oakwood Estates inside the City of Waller?
Yes. Oakwood Estates is inside the City of Waller limits, and its county is Harris, even with a Waller, TX 77484 address. The public tax roll lists the City of Waller among each lot’s taxing units, Harris County’s map of unincorporated areas leaves out all four sections, and the MUD’s notice to purchasers says the district lies wholly or partly inside the city. The City of Waller provides the water, sewer, gas and trash service. Confirm the taxing units for a specific lot at hcad.org.
What is the property tax rate in Oakwood Estates?
The 2025 rate added up to $3.227928 per $100 (about 3.23 percent) before exemptions, from Waller ISD at 1.0626, five Harris County units, the City of Waller at 0.4464, Waller-Harris ESD 200 at 0.10, and Harris-Waller Counties MUD No. 12 at 0.99. As of October 11, 2026, the 2026 total is 3.348468 percent, with the city, ESD and MUD rates still proposed or awaiting adoption and the county education department’s 2025 rate carried. On a $340,000 home, that’s about $11,400 a year before exemptions and about $9,400 with a homestead. Confirm per address at hcad.org.
Are Oakwood Estates property taxes higher than the rest of Waller?
Usually higher than a Waller home outside a MUD. An Oakwood bill has a City of Waller line and a MUD line, and at $0.99 per $100 the MUD accounts for about 31 percent of the 2025 total of 3.227928 percent. With a homestead, the Waller ISD taxable value drops by $140,000 and the five Harris County units by 20 percent; my guides to what a MUD district is in Texas and the Texas homestead exemption explain both. The MUD has issued $14.49 million of its authorized bonds so far, so its debt share can grow as more are sold. Compare any two homes by their parcels’ taxing units at hcad.org or the Waller County appraisal district.
What schools serve Oakwood Estates?
Waller ISD (TEA 2026 B, 80). On October 11, 2026, Waller ISD’s Infofinder tool returned the same three campuses for a pin in each of the four recorded sections: Mary Alice Cure Elementary (B, 80), Schultz Junior High (C, 75), and Waller High School (B, 82), each about a mile from the community in a straight line. Some builder marketing still lists other campuses; Waller ISD’s tool governs. Check your exact address in Infofinder before counting on a campus.
Who builds homes in Oakwood Estates?
K. Hovnanian Homes, Ashton Woods and DRB Homes had Oakwood Estates pages up on October 11, 2026, and they’re building in Sections 3 and 4. K. Hovnanian lists homes from the upper $200,000s, with plans from about $295,000 to $365,000; Ashton Woods lists plans from about $340,000 to $440,000; and DRB lists homes starting from about $263,000. Sections 1 and 2 are built out, so homes there come up as resales. Prices move weekly, so get the current price sheet for the home you like, and look up the lot on hcad.org.
What do homes in Oakwood Estates sell for?

What are Oakwood Estates’ HOA dues and resale fees?
Dues are $635 a year, paid to the Oakwood Estates Community Association, Inc., which Community Solutions Unlimited manages. At a resale, the management certificate adds a $250 resale certificate, a $250 transfer fee, and a capitalization fee equal to a year’s assessment, about $1,100 together at today’s dues. The title company orders the resale certificate, and the contract sets who pays which fee. The home’s resale certificate will show the current amounts.
Is Oakwood Estates in a flood zone?
Not in a high-risk zone on FEMA’s current map. When I checked all 551 recorded lots on October 11, 2026, none touched Zone A or AE, FEMA’s high-risk floodplain (at least a 1 percent annual chance of flooding, often called the 100-year floodplain, where a federally regulated or insured lender requires flood insurance), and none touched the floodway, the creek channel and nearby land kept clear to carry floodwater. Every lot is in Zone X, FEMA’s minimal-risk area, where flood insurance is optional but available and a home can still flood. The only parcel touching Zone AE is the lake’s detention reserve, beside Kickapoo Creek’s floodplain east of Field Store Road. Look up the address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and price flood insurance for the house.
Do I need my own real estate agent to buy a new home in Oakwood Estates?
Texas law doesn’t require one, but the builder’s salespeople represent the builder. Your own real estate agent compares plans and incentives across K. Hovnanian, Ashton Woods and DRB, reads the builder’s contract with you, and negotiates on your behalf. On a new home, many builders require your real estate agent to register you on your first model-home visit, so bring one before you walk into a model. My guide to whether you need your own real estate agent for new construction in Texas goes into more detail. Before you write an offer, look up the lot’s taxing units on hcad.org.
