Where Cypress Green Is

Cypress Green fronts FM 2920, which most people around here still call Waller-Tomball Road, in the stretch between US-290 to the west and TX-249 to the east. The Houston Chronicle placed the original 646-acre tract “along FM 2920 between U.S. 290 and Texas 249 in Hockley,” about 38 miles northwest of downtown Houston. The Grand Parkway (TX-99) is a few minutes away and handles the north-south trips toward Katy and The Woodlands.

The name deserves a quick clarification. Every home in Cypress Green is in unincorporated Harris County. The community carries a Hockley address, and it is neither inside the city of Cypress nor in Waller County, even though some early developer materials mentioned Waller County. In practical terms, that means your appraisal district is HCAD, your permits and drainage run through Harris County, and your deed restrictions run through a Harris County MUD. Searching property records and tax rates under Harris County will give you the right numbers.

Rough drive times, which peak traffic will lengthen: downtown Houston about 45 minutes via US-290, the Energy Corridor about 25 to 30 miles, the Galleria about 30 miles, and the Texas Medical Center 50 minutes or more. Bush Intercontinental is roughly 30 to 40 minutes east on the Grand Parkway. I always suggest driving your own commute at the hour you’d actually be on the road before deciding.

The Feel of the Area

Cypress Green is a community with its amenities finished and its neighborhoods still filling in. HAR’s median year built is 2023, and about 746 homes stand against roughly 2,300 planned, so you’re buying into a community about a third of the way built. You’ll see active construction in the newer sections for the next few years, which also means a wide choice of brand-new inventory and a steady stream of new neighbors.

The Amenity Village is open and in use. Per the developer, it carries a resort-style pool, a lap pool, a splash pad and a waterpark feature, a recreation center with a fitness facility, pickleball and tennis courts, a pavilion and courtyard, a playground, a wiffle ball field, and a dog park, with a lifestyle director running resident events through the year. Trails and green space run between the sections.

One question I’m asked often: Cypress Green does not have a Crystal Lagoon. The community was launched by Land Tejas, the same developer behind the Crystal Lagoons at Balmoral, Lago Mar, and Sunterra, so the association is understandable. What Cypress Green offers instead is the resort pool, splash pad, and waterpark feature described above, which is a strong amenity package at this price point.

A little ownership history helps explain the rest. Land Tejas bought the 646-acre tract and announced the community in June 2021. In December 2021 a Starwood Capital Group affiliate acquired a majority interest in Land Tejas, taking on ten communities and nearly 16,000 residential lots, and the community site now credits a Starwood Land affiliate as developer. If you come across early marketing that mentions a Waller County location or 40- to 55-foot lots, that’s from the launch period; the community is in Harris County and now builds homesites up to 60 feet wide.

Cypress Green Homes for Sale: the Stock and the Market

Almost everything here is new. The stock is single-family detached, one and two stories, brick and stone traditional elevations, on lots running roughly 40 to 60 feet wide. HAR’s 2025 Facts panel for subdivision 15743 records a median 2,049 square feet on a 6,095-square-foot median lot, averaging 3.7 bedrooms and 2.67 baths across 746 single-family properties.

On the market side, that same panel showed a median market value of $297,037, a median sold price of $154.77 per square foot, a value range of $36,000 to $382,000, and activity of 140 for sale and 476 sold when I pulled it on August 29, 2026. The $36,000 floor reflects vacant-lot accounts, so the middle of the range is the useful part.

Those medians are builder-weighted, because most closings here are still builder closings that include upgrades and lot premiums, so they describe the new-home market more closely than they predict what a particular resale will appraise for. The 140 active listings against 746 standing homes tell you there’s plenty of choice right now, and much of it is builder inventory with incentives such as rate buydowns and closing-cost help. For a buyer, that’s negotiating room. For an owner who may need to sell within a few years, it’s a planning point: your resale will be compared with brand-new homes on nearby streets until the builders finish, so Cypress Green rewards buyers who intend to stay a while. I’ll walk you through how resales have actually been pricing against new inventory before you choose a section.

Seven builders were selling as of August 29, 2026: CastleRock Communities, Colina Homes, Coventry Homes, D.R. Horton, DRB Homes, Lennar, and Long Lake, with the developer advertising more to come. Published plan sizes run from about 1,424 square feet at the small end to just under 3,200 at the large end.

Lennar sets the entry point. It runs four collections at Cypress Green — Watermill from $249,991, Classic from $261,990, Bristol from $271,990, and Woodbridge from $312,990 — across 33 plans. D.R. Horton’s published range is roughly $268,000 to $375,000, CastleRock’s about $280,000 to $396,000, Coventry’s about $280,000 to $335,000, and Colina’s about $300,000 to $330,000. Pricing and inventory move weekly, so treat each of those as a starting point that I’ll confirm against what’s actually standing when you’re ready to look.

The model-home row — most of the builders keep their models within a short walk of each other, so a tour is one stop.

What It Costs to Own in Cypress Green

Cypress Green’s combined property tax rate is about 3.29% per $100 of value on 2025 adopted rates. I pulled every line below from the Harris County Tax Office’s Truth in Taxation posting on August 29, 2026. If you see 3.39% quoted on a builder summary sheet, that’s the 2024 stack; the current figure is about a tenth of a point lower.

On a $350,000 home that’s roughly $11,520 a year before exemptions. On the community’s median market value of $297,037, about $9,777. There’s no community college district on this tax roll, which saves you about a tenth of a point compared with many Houston-area communities.

One MUD serves the whole community. Cypress Green is served by a single utility district, Harris County MUD 547, at $1.50 per $100 of value. Multi-MUD communities are common on this corridor, so buyers often arrive expecting the utility district to vary by section. Here it doesn’t: Harris County MUD 547 is the only one, operated by Municipal District Services, and the City of Houston’s 2015 consent ordinance describes it as 634.84 acres at FM 2920, the Grand Parkway, Hopfe Road, and Mueschke Road, which matches the Cypress Green footprint almost exactly. Whichever section you choose, the utility line on your tax bill is the same.

That $1.50 MUD rate is the largest single line on the bill, and how it’s built tells you something about how long it will stay there. In the 2025 adopted rate it splits maintenance $0.70 and debt service $0.80. In 2024 the same $1.50 was effectively all maintenance, so the district has shifted toward debt service as it funded infrastructure; the Texas Bond Review Board records roughly $20.26 million in tax-supported debt outstanding for it as of FY2025. MUD rates typically decline over many years as that debt retires. My advice is to budget the $1.50 as a long-term number and treat any decline as a bonus.

A note on first-year taxes in a new community. A brand-new home is often taxed on land value alone in its first year, then adjusts the following year once the house is on the appraisal roll. If escrow is set from that first-year bill, the payment rises in year two. I raise this with every buyer here before we write an offer, so the escrow number you plan around is the finished-value one from the start.

Exemptions cut the ISD portion materially. Texas voters approved Propositions 11 and 13 in November 2025, raising the school-district homestead exemption to $140,000 and the over-65 or disabled add-on to $60,000. Confirm the district and rate for your own address at HCAD.org, because MUD assignment is always parcel-specific. This is general information, not tax advice.

HOA dues run about $1,000 a year through GrandManors for the Cypress Green Property Owners Association, funding the Amenity Village, common areas, and the lifestyle programming. Bundled with that is a Hotwire Communications internet service at about $621 a year, which every home carries, so it belongs in your comparison when you weigh Cypress Green against a community with a similar posted assessment. Together that’s roughly $1,621 a year, about $135 a month, and I include it in your payment math from the first conversation.

Cypress Green Schools

All of Cypress Green is zoned to Waller ISD. The district holds a TEA B with an overall score of 80 in the 2026 accountability ratings, along with seven campus distinction designations. You may still see a C for Waller ISD in circulation; that was the previous cycle, for the 2024–2025 school year, and the current rating is the B.

The junior high and high school are consistent across every source I checked: Wayne C. Schultz Junior High (20950 Fields Store Road) and Waller High School (31213 Waller Spring Creek Road).

Cypress Green zones to Bryan Lowe Elementary today, and a new campus is going up inside the community. Lowe is the K–5 campus that opened for the 2024–25 school year inside nearby Dellrose, and it’s the elementary the developer and D.R. Horton both name for Cypress Green. Waller ISD is now building a new elementary right here in the community. I drove past it in August 2026 and the steel frame is up, with a rendering board at the fence line; the district hasn’t announced a name yet, and the site is signed by number.

An elementary inside the community changes the daily routine for the better. It also means a boundary change when it opens, and Waller ISD decides which sections move to it. If a specific campus matters to you, I’ll help you confirm the assignment for the exact address with Waller ISD before you commit.

Because the new campus doesn’t have a published name yet, automated school feeds on some builder and listing sites substitute whichever existing campus is nearest in their data, which is why you may see Evelyn Turlington Elementary or other campuses listed for Cypress Green online. The district’s own attendance-zone map is the source I rely on.

Which district serves Cypress Green? Waller ISD, throughout. Some older community write-ups and listing blurbs describe part of the community, usually the Watermill Collection, as zoned to Tomball ISD near Rosehill Elementary. I checked that in August 2026 against the developer’s schools page, Lennar’s own zoned-schools listing for the Watermill Collection, the D.R. Horton, CastleRock, Coventry, and Colina community pages, and the Harris County tax roll for the subdivision, and all of them show Waller ISD only. The likeliest origin of the mix-up is Rosehill Christian School, a private PK–12 school in Tomball that appears on the developer’s schools page and shares a name with Tomball ISD’s Rosehill Elementary. If Tomball ISD is important to your search, I’m glad to show you the Tomball-side communities off TX-249 where that zoning actually applies.

A second high school is on the way. Waller ISD has broken ground on Warren Ranch High School at 16433A Katy Hockley Road, funded by a November 2024 bond, with capacity for 3,500 students and an opening scheduled for fall 2028. Waller High School is currently the district’s only high school, so this is a meaningful investment in the corridor. If you’ll have a student in high school in 2028 or later, plan on the assignment being revisited when the new campus opens.

Attendance boundaries can run mid-neighborhood and the district is redrawing them as this corridor fills in. Confirm any assignment with Waller ISD at (936) 931-3685, and check campus ratings at txschools.gov, before you rely on them.

Getting Around & Commute

Cypress Green runs on two highway corridors. US-290 carries you southeast toward northwest Houston, Loop 610, and downtown. TX-249, the Tomball Parkway, carries you east toward Tomball, Vintage Park, and Beltway 8. The Grand Parkway (TX-99) is minutes away and handles north-south travel toward Katy and The Woodlands, and it’s also the quickest route to Bush Intercontinental at roughly 30 to 40 minutes.

Reachable job centers include northwest Houston and Willowbrook, Tomball, The Woodlands, the Energy Corridor, and downtown Houston at about 45 minutes. Hobby Airport is over an hour. This is a car-based location without rail service or transit inside the community. If a park-and-ride commute is part of your plan, confirm the specific lot and route along the US-290 corridor at ridemetro.org before you commit to the drive.

Flood Risk — What to Check Before You Buy

Cypress Green sits northwest of Houston in the upper Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek watershed. The greater Cypress Creek basin saw significant flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017; that is a watershed-wide statistic covering a very large area, and it isn’t a statement about this community.

Cypress Green has no documented flooding history. Homes here date from 2022, five years after Harvey, and were built under current drainage and detention standards administered through Harris County MUD 547. Because the community is so new, that record hasn’t yet been tested by a major storm, which is a good reason to do the per-address homework below for any home you’re serious about.

FEMA designation is property-specific and can change street to street. Pull the current zone for any specific address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, request the property’s flood history, and ask for an elevation certificate if one exists. FEMA’s updated Harris County maps under the MAAPnext program remain in draft form and can’t yet be used for insurance or regulatory decisions, so the effective map is the one that governs.

Things to Do Nearby

Inside the community, the Amenity Village carries most of the everyday recreation: the resort pool and lap pool, the splash pad and waterpark feature, the recreation center and fitness facility, pickleball and tennis courts, the pavilion and courtyard, the playground, the wiffle ball field, and the dog park, with trails and green space connecting the sections and a lifestyle director running resident events through the year.

Covered pickleball courts — shade in a Houston summer is a detail many communities at this price point skip.

Outside the community, most of the errand and outing map sits along US-290 to the west and TX-249 to the east:

• Shopping: Houston Premium Outlets in Cypress, off US-290 near the Grand Parkway, about 15 minutes southeast.
• Small-town dining and events: Old Town Tomball — the walkable downtown with boutiques, restaurants, and the German Heritage Festival and Choo-Choo Chow Down that the City of Tomball puts on, roughly 15 minutes east on FM 2920.
• A day out close to home: Oil Ranch — the working farm attraction at 23501 Macedonia Road in Hockley, with hayrides, farm animals, a train, and seasonal festivals, a few minutes away.
• Outdoors: Zube Park — 225 acres of Harris County Precinct 4 parkland at 17560 Roberts Road, with about three miles of trails, disc golf, a seasonal splash pad, and free miniature train rides one Saturday a month from March through November. Kleb Woods Nature Preserve at 20303 Draper Road adds trails and birding about 20 minutes east.
• Groceries and everyday: H-E-B and Kroger locations along US-290 and TX-249, both roughly 15 minutes out.

Is Cypress Green the Right Fit?

The case for Cypress Green is specific. You get brand-new construction from seven builders in a range that mostly runs $250,000 to $400,000, starting under $250,000, in a metro where that price band increasingly means an older house or a much longer drive. The amenity package is built and open. A new elementary is rising inside the community and a second district high school is scheduled for 2028. And because the community sits in a single county with a single utility district, a single school district, and a single HOA, the diligence is simpler than at the two-county master plans on this side of town.

The things to plan for are just as concrete. The carrying cost is on the higher side at roughly 3.29%, of which the $1.50 MUD is the largest line, plus about $1,621 a year in dues and bundled internet. The commute to central Houston is long, with downtown around 45 minutes and the Medical Center closer to an hour, and there’s no transit alternative. While seven builders are still selling, a resale competes with new inventory, so Cypress Green suits buyers who plan to stay several years. You’ll live alongside active construction for a while. And the elementary assignment will be revisited when the new campus opens.

If you’re comparing, the natural alternatives on this corridor are Dellrose, a few miles west at US-290 and Bauer Road, Bridgeland and Elyson if you want a larger, more established master plan at a higher price, or the Tomball ISD communities off TX-249 if that district is your priority. The right answer depends on whether you’re optimizing for monthly payment, school assignment, or how soon you might need to sell, and I’m glad to walk through all three with you.

Work With a Cypress Green Realtor

The detail I’d want every Cypress Green buyer to know before choosing a section is that the new elementary going up inside the community will bring a boundary change when it opens, and Waller ISD will decide which sections it takes. I know the campus is real because I drove out and photographed it in August 2026; I know the current assignment is Bryan Lowe because I checked the district’s own attendance map. That’s the same approach I take to everything else on this page: the 3.29% tax stack came line by line from the Harris County Tax Office, the seven-builder roster from the developer’s live homebuilder page and each builder’s own site, and the Waller ISD zoning from the developer, four builders, and the county tax roll.

As a REALTOR® and broker, I do that checking for every client, and it matters most to people buying their first home, which describes many of the buyers in this price range. One of my clients put it this way: “We interviewed with several realtors and chose Kevan for his knowledge of the Houston area and his patience to explain everything about buying our first house… He was always happy and quick to respond to all of our questions.” — Alex, first-time 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. I work Cypress Green alongside the rest of my Hockley REALTOR® coverage, so I can price this community against Dellrose, Bridgeland, and the Tomball-side new construction as well as against its own comps.

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

Quick Answers

What ZIP code is Cypress Green in, and is it in Harris County?

Hockley, TX 77447, in unincorporated Harris County. Despite the name, Cypress Green is outside the city of Cypress, and despite some early developer marketing that mentioned Waller County, every home is in Harris County, so HCAD is the appraisal district.

How far is Cypress Green from Houston?

Cypress Green is about 38 miles northwest of downtown Houston, roughly a 45-minute drive via US-290 outside peak traffic. The Energy Corridor is about 25 to 30 miles, the Galleria about 30 miles, Bush Intercontinental 30 to 40 minutes via the Grand Parkway, and the Texas Medical Center 50 minutes or more.

What school district serves Cypress Green?

Waller ISD, throughout — Bryan Lowe Elementary, Wayne C. Schultz Junior High, and Waller High School. Waller ISD holds a TEA B with an overall score of 80 in the 2026 ratings. A new Waller ISD elementary is under construction inside Cypress Green; the steel was up in August 2026 and the campus hasn’t been named yet, so expect a boundary change when it opens. Confirm the assignment for a specific address with Waller ISD at (936) 931-3685.

Is part of Cypress Green zoned to Tomball ISD?

No — all of Cypress Green is Waller ISD. Some older write-ups describe the Watermill Collection as Tomball ISD, but the developer, Lennar (which builds the Watermill Collection), D.R. Horton, CastleRock, Coventry, and Colina all list Waller ISD, and the Harris County tax roll for the subdivision carries a Waller ISD line only. The mix-up most likely traces to Rosehill Christian School, a private PK–12 school in Tomball, sharing a name with Tomball ISD’s Rosehill Elementary.

What are the property taxes in Cypress Green?

About 3.29% combined on 2025 adopted rates — Harris County entities totaling 0.7289, Waller ISD at 1.0626, and Harris County MUD 547 at 1.5000, all per $100 of value. On a $350,000 home that’s roughly $11,520 a year before exemptions, and the homestead exemption reduces the school portion materially. The 3.39% figure on some builder sheets is the 2024 stack. Confirm the parcel’s rate at HCAD.org.

Is Cypress Green split across multiple MUDs?

No. Harris County MUD 547 is the only utility district serving the community, operated by Municipal District Services, levying $1.50 per $100 — split $0.70 maintenance and $0.80 debt service in the 2025 adopted rate. The city consent ordinance describes MUD 547 as 634.84 acres at FM 2920, the Grand Parkway, Hopfe Road, and Mueschke Road, matching the community footprint.

Does Cypress Green have a Crystal Lagoon?

No. The open Amenity Village has a resort-style pool, a lap pool, a splash pad, and a waterpark feature. The Crystal Lagoons belong to other Land Tejas communities — Balmoral, Lago Mar, and Sunterra — which is where the association comes from, since Land Tejas launched Cypress Green before Starwood took majority control in December 2021.

What’s the typical home price in Cypress Green?

HAR’s 2025 Facts panel for subdivision 15743, as displayed August 29, 2026, shows a median market value of $297,037 and a median sold price of $154.77 per square foot on a median 2,049 square feet, with 140 homes for sale and 476 sold. New-construction pricing starts at about $249,991 and runs to roughly $400,000. Those medians are builder-weighted, so treat them as directional.

Is Cypress Green still building new homes?

Yes. Seven builders were selling as of August 29, 2026 — CastleRock, Colina, Coventry, D.R. Horton, DRB, Lennar, and Long Lake — with the developer advertising additional builders to come. HAR’s median year built is 2023, and about 746 homes stand against roughly 2,300 planned, so the community is around a third built out.

Is Cypress Green in a flood zone?

It varies by property. The community sits in the upper Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek watershed and has no documented community flooding history, with homes dating from 2022 and built under current detention standards. Because the community is new, that record is short, so check the exact address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and request the property’s flood history.

What are the HOA dues in Cypress Green?

About $1,000 a year through GrandManors for the Cypress Green Property Owners Association, plus a bundled Hotwire Communications internet service at about $621 a year — roughly $1,621 a year combined, or about $135 a month. Confirm the current-year figures and closing-side fees with GrandManors through the resale certificate, since those amounts aren’t published publicly.

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

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 Cypress Green’s builders ask that your agent register you on your first model-home visit. With your own agent, someone reviews the contract, the incentives, and the lot premium from your side, at no change to the builder’s process. 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 Cypress Green?

Look for someone who has verified the details of this community firsthand: which district serves it (Waller ISD throughout), the current 3.29% tax stack from the county’s own posting, the seven builders actually selling, and the new elementary going up inside the community. 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 in person or at the source in August 2026, and I’m glad to walk you through them. Call or text 281-500-7077.
