Cypress Realtor — Your Guide to Cypress, TX Real Estate
Cypress is one of the largest and fastest-growing parts of Greater Houston — a stretch of master-planned communities, lakes, and trails about 24 miles up US-290 from Downtown. I’m Kevan Pewitt, a Cypress Realtor and the broker behind Houston Prime Realty, and this is your starting point for the market, the communities, and the schools that shape life here.
The Whole Area
From Bridgeland to Towne Lake to Fairfield, I work every Cypress community — so I can help you compare them honestly instead of guessing from listing photos.
Local Detail
School zoning, tax rates, HOA dues, and flood facts change block to block in Cypress. I put those differences in front of you before you fall for a floor plan.
Start to Close
Whether you’re buying or selling, you get one point of contact from the first showing through the closing table — with a plan you can hold me to.

Working with a Cypress REALTOR®
Searching for real estate agents in Cypress, TX brings back hundreds of names, so here’s who you’d actually be working with: me, personally. I’m a Cypress real estate agent and REALTOR® — and the broker behind Houston Prime Realty — and my full background is on my About page. If you’re buying, my Buying guide walks the process step by step; if you’re selling, start with how I price and market homes.
Houston Prime Realty is a full-service brokerage, and I represent both buyers and sellers across Cypress and the wider Cy-Fair area. For buyers, that means helping you compare communities honestly, find homes that fit before they hit the big portals, and negotiate the contract. For sellers, it means pricing your home to the actual recent sales nearby and marketing it to get it sold.
Cypress is too big and too varied to shop blind. The difference between two communities ten minutes apart can be a different school zone, a different tax rate, a different flood picture, and tens of thousands of dollars in price — a lot of which never shows up on a listing site. My job is to put those differences in front of you plainly, then handle the contract and closing so the deal actually gets done.

How buyer representation works in 2026:
Since the National Association of REALTORS settlement took effect in August 2024, a real estate buyer’s agent’s compensation is agreed up front, in writing, before we start touring. I’ll walk you through exactly how that works on our first call — no surprises, no fine print.
The Cypress Real Estate Market
Cypress has been one of the most in-demand suburban markets in the Houston area for years — 77433 was even named the #1 hottest ZIP code in the country for buyers by OpenDoor in 2023. As of mid-2026, the typical Cypress home sells in the $400,000s and generally goes under contract in roughly 40 days — a more measured, balanced pace than the frenzy of a few years ago. Buyers are still active; they’re just more selective.
That’s a city-wide average across a very wide range, though. Prices run from townhomes in the low $300s to waterfront and estate homes approaching $1.9M, and the real story is community by community — which is what the neighborhood guides below are for. Market figures as of June 2026, per HAR and area market reports; contact me for today’s numbers.
Communities in Cypress
Most of Cypress is organized into master-planned communities, each with its own personality, price point, and amenity set. Here’s the quick map — open a guide for the full picture on prices, taxes, schools, and flood notes.
- Bridgeland — Cypress’s biggest master-planned community: ~11,500 acres of lakes, parks, and trails, with the widest price range in the area and most of Cypress’s active new construction.
- Cypress Creek Lakes — a lake- and trail-focused community near the Grand Parkway, mostly built out with good highway access.
- Towne Lake — built around a 300-acre recreational lake with a waterfront Boardwalk dining district you can reach by boat.
- Fairfield — one of Cypress’s original master-planned communities, fully built out, with the Houston Premium Outlets at its doorstep.
- Coles Crossing — an established, mature master-planned community north of 290, wrapped around 175 acres of lakes and trails, almost entirely resale.
- Longwood Village — an established golf-course community off Spring Cypress Road in 77429, built around the 18-hole Golf Club at Longwood, almost entirely resale.
- Dunham Pointe — the newest master-planned community in Cypress, 1,327 acres of new construction south of US-290 with five active builders, an open amenity center, and the highest carrying cost of the group at roughly 3.19% combined tax.
- Blackhorse Ranch — a golf-course community west of the Grand Parkway with resort-style amenity centers. (guide coming soon)
- Stone Gate & Miramesa — settled Cy-Fair communities along the 290 corridor, often a relative value versus the marquee lake communities. (guides coming soon)

Explore the Guide »Cypress Schools
Most of Cypress is served by Cypress-Fairbanks ISD (Cy-Fair ISD) — the third-largest school district in Texas and one of the fastest-growing in the country, with more than 118,000 students. The district runs twelve comprehensive high schools (Cy-Fair, Cypress Creek, Cypress Falls, Cypress Lakes, Cypress Ridge, Cypress Park, Cypress Ranch, Cypress Springs, Cypress Woods, Langham Creek, Jersey Village, and Bridgeland), plus the Lone Star College–CyFair campus. A small slice of the Cypress area is zoned to Tomball ISD instead.
School zoning is set by the specific property address and Cy-Fair rezones as it grows, so always confirm a home’s campuses before you rely on them. Check zoning on the CFISD school locator, and see homes organized by high school in my Cy-Fair ISD campus directory — every campus page lists its zoned neighborhoods, and the full Houston-area school directory covers Katy, Klein, Spring, Tomball, and Waller ISDs too.

Living in Cypress — Lifestyle & Amenities
Cypress life leans on its master-planned amenities — neighborhood lakes, miles of trails, pools, and golf at communities like Blackhorse Ranch. For shopping and entertainment, the Houston Premium Outlets anchor the Fairfield side, with everyday retail and dining clustered along 290, Barker-Cypress, and FM 529.
Healthcare has grown fast: Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital opened in 2025, joining HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress and Memorial Hermann Cypress. And there’s a major change on the horizon — the Houston Texans are moving their global headquarters and practice facility to Cypress in 2029, part of the new Toro District being developed with Harris County and Howard Hughes (the same developer behind Bridgeland). It’s the kind of long-term investment that tends to bring jobs and amenities closer to home.

Quick Answers
Who is a good Cypress Realtor?
I’m Kevan Pewitt, a Cypress real estate agent, REALTOR®, and real estate broker with Houston Prime Realty, and I’ve worked Cypress and the Cy-Fair area for years. I help buyers compare communities and sellers price and market their homes — with my compensation as your real estate buyer’s agent agreed up front, in writing.
How do I choose a real estate agent in Cypress, TX?
Ask each of them a question only someone who works Cypress can answer — which school a specific street is zoned to, which MUD serves the lot and what that does to the tax rate, or what the flood history is on that block. Plenty of Cypress Realtors will show you houses; the difference shows up in what they know before you write the offer. Ask to see the comparable sales behind any price they quote you, and get representation and how it’s paid agreed up front, in writing.
What does a real estate buyer’s agent cost in Cypress, TX?
It’s negotiable, and it’s agreed in writing before we tour homes. Since the NAR settlement took effect in August 2024, every buyer signs a written representation agreement stating exactly what their real estate buyer’s agent will be paid and by whom. In practice, most Cypress sellers still agree to pay the real estate commission — and if a particular seller won’t assist, the choice is yours as the buyer: factor it into your offer, or move on to another property. I’ll walk you through the numbers before you sign anything.
Who are the best real estate agents in Cypress, TX?
“Best” depends on the street, the community, and what you need. Instead of taking anyone’s word for it (mine included), read verified client reviews on a third-party site like HAR.com, where ratings come from surveyed closed clients, and ask each real estate agent address-level questions about school zoning, MUD taxes, and flood history — the answers tell you quickly who works Cypress and who doesn’t. My own HAR.com client-survey rating is 5.0 out of 5.0 across 229 reviews; read them and judge for yourself.
Do I need a real estate agent to buy a new construction home in Cypress?
You’re not required to use one, but the builder’s sales consultants work for the builder — Texas doesn’t require them to hold a real estate license, and they don’t represent you. With active new construction in Bridgeland and Dunham Pointe, a real estate buyer’s agent can compare builders and incentives across communities, review the builder’s contract (which is not the standard TREC resale contract), and negotiate on your side. In most cases the builder pays the buyer’s-side compensation — we confirm that in writing before you register at a model home, since many builders require your real estate agent to register you on the first visit. To dig deeper, see whether you need your own real estate agent for new construction in Texas, and browse new construction homes for sale in Cypress to see what’s on the market now. My guide to buying a new-construction home in Houston covers the rest of the process.
Is Cypress a good place for first-time buyers?
Yes — Cypress gives a first-time buyer more house for the money than most of the Houston area. There’s a deep supply of resale homes from roughly $280,000 to $450,000, most of it zoned to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, in established communities like Fairfield, Coles Crossing, and Longwood Village where the trees are mature, the parks and pools are already paid for, and combined tax rates sit between about 2.0% and 2.6% because the utility districts have retired their debt. Because Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, the county’s down payment assistance program applies here too, and my first-time home buyer’s guide to Cypress walks through which communities fit a first budget, which programs apply, and how I handle a first purchase.
What’s the Cypress real estate market like right now?
As of mid-2026, the typical Cypress home sells in the $400,000s and goes under contract in roughly 40 days — a balanced, more selective market than the recent peak. Prices range widely by community, from the low $300s to near $1.9M.
What school district is Cypress in?
Most of Cypress is zoned to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD (Cy-Fair ISD), with a small portion in Tomball ISD. Always verify the specific address.
What ZIP codes cover Cypress?
Primarily 77433 (the newer, fast-growing west side) and 77429 (the older, established east side).
What neighborhoods are in Cypress?
Cypress is made up of master-planned communities including Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Fairfield, Coles Crossing, Blackhorse Ranch, Cypress Creek Lakes, Stone Gate, and Miramesa — see the rundown above, with links to each guide.
