Dunham Pointe at a glance

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

Where Dunham Pointe is

Dunham Pointe sits in Cypress, in unincorporated northwest Harris County inside the City of Houston’s ETJ, about 25 to 30 miles northwest of Downtown. The community fronts the south side of US-290 between Mueschke Road and Mason Road, with the Grand Parkway (SH 99) immediately to the west. Mason Road, extended into the community, is the main entrance today; a Mueschke Road extension is planned as the second way in.

That US-290 frontage is the thing to understand about the site plan. Roughly 300 of the 1,327 acres are commercial reserve along the highway, which is why a retail village is being built here rather than shopped for later — the land was always set aside for it. The residential sections sit back off the freeway behind that commercial strip.

One structural note that trips people up: Dunham Pointe has no named villages. Where Bridgeland has Lakeland Heights and Parkland Village, Dunham Pointe has numbered sections — Sections 1, 4, 10, 11, 13 and 15 are the ones identified so far — and what actually organizes the community is lot width: 50-foot, 60-foot, 65-foot, 70-foot, and 80-foot sections, each with its own builders and its own price band. When a builder tells you “we’re in Section 13,” what that really tells you is the lot size and the price tier. I’ll walk you through which is which.

The feel of the area

Dunham Pointe reads as a community mid-construction, and I’d rather you go in with that picture than a brochure one. The amenity center is finished and open — a roughly $6 million package with a clubhouse, a family pool with cabanas, a separate adult lap pool, a splash pad, a fitness center, and a playground. Around it are lakes, miles of walking trails, parks, and an event lawn, with four more parks announced. The lakes do double duty as engineered stormwater detention.

What isn’t finished is a lot of the rest. Per Harris County Improvement District No. 14’s own §26.18 disclosure as of March 31, 2025, there were 871 single-family lots on about 251 acres — 633 with active single-family connections, 144 either under construction or still in a builder’s name, and 94 vacant developed lots — plus another 232 lots under construction on roughly 78 more acres. So: several hundred families already living here, and several hundred lots’ worth of framing crews still to come.

The developer is Archie Dunham, the former Conoco, ConocoPhillips and Chesapeake Energy chairman, with Cary Dunham as EVP of Dunham Pointe Development and land planning by BGE, Inc. The family bought the land around 2007 and lost roughly five years to railroad-crossing litigation before breaking ground in April 2021. That’s not trivia — it’s the reason a 1,327-acre tract this close to the Grand Parkway was still raw ground in 2021 when everything around it had already been developed.

Estimates of the finished size vary by source: about 2,500 homes at completion per Realty News Report, against roughly 1,100 lots sold to date in 2025 reporting. Treat both as directional.

Dunham Pointe homes for sale: the stock and the market

Everything here is new. The housing stock is single-family detached from five production builders — Toll Brothers, David Weekley, Coventry Homes, Newmark Homes (with its Fedrick Harris Estate Homes custom branch), and Tri Pointe Homes — and per HAR’s subdivision data the median year built is 2023. The median home runs about 3,626 square feet on a median 9,157-square-foot lot, averaging roughly 4.2 bedrooms and 4.0 baths across 704 tracked single-family properties. These are big houses on suburban lots, not starter homes.

Here’s how the tiers actually break down, as of July 2026:

• 50-foot sections — the only tier under about $500K. David Weekley’s Enclave Collection starts around $449,990 and Tri Pointe’s 50-foot product around $462,990. Coventry’s 50-foot section is sold out, with a new one expected Fall 2026 — so if Coventry is the builder you want at this price point, you’re waiting.
• 60-foot — Toll Brothers’ Select Collection, from the upper $500s (aggregators show roughly $565K–$570K “from” pricing). A March 2025 phase opened 27 homesites with six designs, one and two story, 4–6 bedrooms and roughly 3,000 to over 3,700 square feet.
• 65-foot — David Weekley’s Parkview Collection, roughly $613,000–$748,000 on 2,861–4,037 square feet. This is the only gated section in the community — the single clearest differentiator between one part of Dunham Pointe and another, and one I’d weigh for resale as much as for today.
• 70-foot (Sections 4, 13, 15) — the move-up tier. Coventry runs 8 plans from 3,624 to 4,784 square feet at roughly $791K–$1.2M; Newmark runs 11 plans from about 3,160 to 4,547 square feet at roughly $785K–$927K, several of them multi-generational layouts.
• 80-foot — the top of the production range. Tri Pointe offers 7 plans from 3,779 to 5,344 square feet at roughly $848K–$1.15M; Toll Brothers’ Estate Collection runs up to 5,262 square feet from roughly $818K.

On the resale side, HAR’s “Dunham Pointe 2025 Facts” (subdivision 15746) puts the median sold price per square foot at $198.04, median market value at $638,065, and the value range at $457,000 to $859,000, with 46 homes for sale and 347 sold. A brokerage aggregator cited a median list price near $785,000 in early 2026 and a span from the high $500s past $1.3 million.

Read those medians carefully, though: they’re dominated by builder closings. A builder closing carries upgrades and a lot premium baked into the sale price, and the early resale pool is thin, so the headline median describes the new-home market rather than what a specific resale will appraise or sell for. It also means that when you resell in five years, you may be competing with a builder two streets over offering rate buydowns and closing-cost incentives — the main reason I want buyers here planning to hold rather than flip. When I price a home in Dunham Pointe, I work from closed comps in the same lot-width tier and section instead of the community-wide median. Ask me for this month’s numbers for the specific lot width you’re shopping.

One thing to do before you tour a model

If you’re buying new construction here, bring me with you on the first visit, or tell me before you go. Every builder in Dunham Pointe requires that your agent register you on that first walk-through — if you tour a model or hand over your information without your agent, the builder can decline to work with them on your purchase, and you lose your own representation on a contract written by the builder’s lawyers. Telling me before you go takes one text; not telling me can cost you real leverage on the biggest contract you’ll sign this year. We’ll agree on how I represent you and how that’s paid up front, in writing.

What Dunham Pointe actually costs to carry — the tax rate

This is the section I’d read twice, and it’s the reason I wrote this guide.

The combined 2025 tax rate at Dunham Pointe is about $3.19 per $100 of value. The largest single line on that bill is not the school district. It’s Harris County Improvement District No. 14 at $1.350 per $100 — more than Cy-Fair ISD’s $1.0669.

What that means in dollars. On a $600,000 home with standard homestead exemptions, the bill runs roughly $16,025 a year — about $1,335 a month in escrow, and HCID No. 14 alone accounts for $8,100 of it. Without exemptions — an investor, or your first partial year of ownership — it’s closer to $19,144 a year, about $1,595 a month. Move up to the $750,000 range typical of the 70- and 80-foot product and you’re at roughly $20,284 a year with homestead ($1,690/month), of which $10,125 is the district.

Two more details on the tax picture:

• HAR’s cached tax table is slightly stale — it shows Cy-Fair ISD at 1.0869 (the 2024 rate) and Lone Star at 0.1076. Net, it overstates your total by about 0.02 per $100, roughly $104 a year on a $480K taxable homestead. But HAR’s 1.35 line for the district is correct — I’ve seen that figure doubted, and it holds up.
• 2026 gets a little better. Texas voters approved Prop 13 on November 4, 2025, raising the state school homestead exemption from $100,000 to $140,000 effective tax year 2026 — about $427 a year in savings on a $600K homestead. Prop 11 raised the additional over-65 and disabled school exemption from $10,000 to $60,000, which for an over-65 buyer combines to a $200,000 school exemption on top of the Cy-Fair school-tax ceiling.

The district rate does not vary by section — HCID No. 14 covers the community as a whole, and Sections 1, 4, 10, 11, 13 and 15 all sit at the uniform $1.350. Confirm the exact rate and exemptions for any specific address at HCAD.org.

HOA dues are separate and run about $1,000–$1,100 a year through Sterling Association Services (Sterling ASI), covering common-area landscaping, the amenity center’s operation and maintenance, and administration. That figure comes from secondary sources, so confirm it with Sterling directly. Unlike Bridgeland, no seller-paid conveyance or enhancement fee is documented here — but the association’s resale certificate and transfer fees aren’t published either, so pull the current Sterling ASI resale packet on every transaction (management certificates are searchable at hoa.texas.gov).

Schools

Dunham Pointe is zoned entirely to Cypress-Fairbanks ISD — no portion of it falls into a second district, which Newmark markets as “the last master-planned development zoned to Cy-Fair ISD.” The currently zoned campuses are A. Robison Elementary (17100 Robison Woods Rd), Spillane Middle School (13403 Woods-Spillane Blvd), and Cypress Woods High School (13550 Woods-Spillane Blvd). All three earned a TEA “A” rating for 2024–25, released August 15, 2025; the district overall earned a “B” (85 out of 100), up from 82 the prior year.

Here’s the part that doesn’t show up on a builder’s flyer, and that I make sure every buyer hears: a 146-acre Cy-Fair ISD educational village — elementary, middle, and high school — is planned inside Dunham Pointe, and attendance boundaries will be redrawn when those campuses open. If you’re choosing this community specifically because of Cypress Woods High, understand that your address may be rezoned to the on-site high school. That’s not necessarily a bad outcome — a brand-new campus you can walk to has its own appeal — but it is a real change, and buying on the assumption that today’s zoning is permanent is a mistake I’ve watched people make.

Some aggregators list Ault Elementary, Salyards Middle, and Bridgeland High as alternates for parts of this corridor; verify rather than assume. Charter and choice options in the 77433 corridor include the Harmony and Aristoi academies. Zoning is set by the exact property address, boundaries can run mid-neighborhood, and Cy-Fair rezones periodically — confirm current assignment and ratings at txschools.gov and with Cy-Fair ISD directly before you rely on it.

Campus detail pages with ratings, maps, and zoned homes: Robison Elementary, Spillane Middle, and Cypress Woods High. I also keep Cypress homes organized by high school on my Schools page.

Getting around & commute

Direct US-290 frontage is the practical advantage here, with the Grand Parkway (SH 99) immediately west and Beltway 8 and Highway 6 to the east. In typical traffic, figure roughly 25 minutes to the Energy Corridor (290 to I-10 West), about 35 minutes to Downtown on US-290, 35 to 40 minutes to Bush Intercontinental (IAH), and 50-plus to Hobby. The Texas Medical Center and the Galleria are the long hauls from here at peak. Bridgeland and Towne Lake are only 10 to 15 minutes south on Mueschke, which matters if you’re comparing the three.

For commuter transit, the nearest METRO service is the Cypress Park & Ride at 25210 US-290 Frontage Rd (Cypress 77429), running routes 217 and 219 to downtown in roughly 40 to 55 minutes, with free parking, a lot open around the clock, and a first bus near 4:45 a.m.

These are aggregator-sourced estimates. If the commute is going to make or break this move, drive it yourself at the hour you’d actually be driving it, before you sign anything.

Flood risk — what to check before you buy

Dunham Pointe drains within the Cypress Creek watershed system, adjacent to the Little Cypress Creek watershed that HCFCD describes as a largely rural, undeveloped stretch of northwest Harris County. It sits well north and west of the Addicks and Barker reservoirs, so the reservoir-pool issues that hit parts of west Houston in Harvey don’t apply here. Modern engineered detention was built into the plan from the start; those amenity lakes are doing stormwater work as well as decoration.

There is no subdivision-specific flood history for Dunham Pointe, because it’s too new to have one. The Tax Day flood (2016), Harvey (2017), and Imelda (2019) all happened before the April 2021 groundbreaking. So nobody, including me, can tell you how these streets performed in a major storm, because they didn’t exist yet. Regional watershed statistics from those events shouldn’t be read as outcomes for this community — and an absence of flood history isn’t the same thing as a clean bill of health. Post-Harvey detention standards are a genuine positive; an untested drainage system is still untested.

Before you make an offer on any specific home here, pull its current flood designation at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and ask the builder for the lot’s drainage and detention information. Risk is property-specific — it varies street to street, sometimes lot to lot — and I’ll help you check it lot by lot.

Things to do nearby

Inside the community, the amenity center is the anchor: a clubhouse, a family pool with cabanas, an adult lap pool, a splash pad, a fitness center, and a playground, surrounded by lakes, walking trails, parks, and an event lawn. Four additional parks have been announced.

The big one is still coming. In March 2026, Trademark Property Co. announced a roughly 25-acre, 206,000-square-foot retail village near US-290 and Mason, inside the community. As of that reporting it was tracking toward 60–70% leased by summer, with groundbreaking targeted for early summer 2026 and the first tenants opening by the end of 2027. Six leases were signed at announcement, with named tenants including Shake Shack, Pokeworks, Amorino Gelato, and the Milkshake Factory, plus a national organic grocer and a junior fashion anchor. Buy here in 2026 and you’re buying about eighteen months ahead of that opening — worth factoring into both your daily-errand math and your resale timing.

Until then, and after, here’s where my buyers in this corridor actually go:

• Shopping: Houston Premium Outlets — an open-air outlet center on US-290 with more than 100 outlet stores, minutes away.
• Everyday shopping & dining: Fairfield Town Center — the 354,000-square-foot, H-E-B-anchored center at 28902 US-290 (also Academy, Kohl’s, Ross, Marshalls/HomeGoods, and a Cinemark). This is the closest thing to a full errand run until the on-site retail village opens.
• Waterfront dining & live music: The Boardwalk at Towne Lake — restaurants, shops and patios out over the water, about 10–15 minutes south.
• Dining & events: Lakeland Village Center in neighboring Bridgeland — a lakefront restaurant and retail cluster a short drive south on Mueschke.
• Parks & outdoors: Harris County Precinct 3 parks — the county trail and park network across the Cypress side of 290, on top of the community’s own trails.

Work With a Dunham Pointe Realtor

Dunham Pointe prices by lot width, and the builders don’t make the tiers easy to compare. A 60-foot Ashton Woods lot, a gated 65-foot David Weekley lot, and a 70-foot Coventry lot can all land near the same monthly payment once HCID No. 14’s $1.350 tax rate is in the math — and which one holds value best five years from now depends on the section, the school re-zoning, and how much builder inventory is still coming behind it. Sorting that out is the actual work of representing a buyer here, and it’s what I spend my time on in this community.

I’m Kevan Pewitt, broker-owner of Houston Prime Realty and a licensed Texas real estate broker and REALTOR® since 1989. I track each Dunham Pointe section as it releases and price against closed comps in the same tier. Reach out before you tour a model — the registration rule above is the one timing decision here you can’t undo.

Quick Answers

What does a real estate buyer’s agent cost in Dunham Pointe?

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. Builder-paid buyer-agent compensation in a new-construction community like this one is also confirmed in writing before you register at a model home. I’ll walk you through the numbers before you sign anything.

What ZIP code is Dunham Pointe in?

Dunham Pointe is in 77433, in Cypress — unincorporated Harris County, inside the City of Houston’s ETJ — on the south side of US-290 between Mueschke Road and Mason Road, just east of the Grand Parkway.

What school district serves Dunham Pointe?

Entirely Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. The currently zoned campuses are A. Robison Elementary, Spillane Middle, and Cypress Woods High, all rated TEA “A” for 2024–25. A 146-acre Cy-Fair ISD campus is planned inside the community and attendance boundaries will change when it opens, so verify a specific address at txschools.gov.

What are the property taxes in Dunham Pointe?

Roughly 3.19% combined for 2025 — the largest line is Harris County Improvement District No. 14 at $1.350 per $100, bigger than Cy-Fair ISD’s 1.0669. On a $600,000 home with homestead exemptions that’s about $16,025 a year (≈$1,335/month). The district rate has been flat at $1.350 for three years, so budget at that figure rather than assuming a build-out decline. Confirm per address at HCAD.org.

What’s the typical home price in Dunham Pointe?

New construction runs from about $450,000 (David Weekley’s 50-foot Enclave Collection) to $1.2 million-plus on the 70- and 80-foot lots. HAR’s 2025 subdivision data shows a median sold price of $198.04 per square foot, a median market value of $638,065, and a value range of $457K–$859K; a brokerage aggregator cited a median list price near $785,000 in early 2026. Medians here are builder-weighted, so treat them as directional.

Is Dunham Pointe in a flood zone?

It varies by property. The community drains to the Cypress Creek system, sits north and west of the Addicks/Barker reservoirs, and was built with engineered detention (the amenity lakes). It has no flood history — because it broke ground in April 2021, after Harvey and Imelda, so there’s no storm record either way. Check the FEMA flood map and the lot’s drainage details for the exact address.

Is Dunham Pointe gated?

Only in part. David Weekley’s Parkview Collection on the 65-foot lots is the only gated section; the rest of the community is not gated.

Who builds in Dunham Pointe?

Five active builders as of July 2026: Toll Brothers (60′ Select and 80′ Estate collections), David Weekley (50′ Enclave and the gated 65′ Parkview), Coventry Homes (70′; its 50′ section is sold out with a new one expected Fall 2026), Newmark Homes with its Fedrick Harris Estate Homes custom branch (70′), and Tri Pointe Homes (50′ and 80′).

What are the HOA dues in Dunham Pointe?

About $1,000–$1,100 a year, managed by Sterling Association Services (Sterling ASI), covering common-area landscaping, the amenity center, and administration. That’s from secondary sources — confirm with Sterling, and pull the resale packet for transfer and resale-certificate fees, which aren’t published.
