About Cypress
Cypress represents Houston's northwest suburban frontier, where rapid growth has transformed ranchland into some of the Houston area's most desirable master-planned communities. Anchored by developments like Bridgeland, Towne Lake, and Cypress Creek Lakes, the area offers new construction luxury at price points unattainable closer to Houston's core, plus access to outdoor recreation that rivals the best suburbs in America. Cypress is where young families come for space, affordability, and amenities, accepting longer commutes in exchange for 3,000+ square foot new homes on oversized lots.
Bridgeland stands as Cypress's crown jewel—a 11,400-acre master-planned community with 5,000 acres of preserved green space, 300 acres of lakes, an extensive trail system, and amenities that include championship golf, resort-style pools, and one of Houston's best fishing and kayaking experiences. The community's commitment to outdoor recreation, combined with Cy-Fair ISD's strong schools, has made Bridgeland one of the nation's top-selling communities for multiple years running. Towne Lake offers similar appeal with a 200-acre lake perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding.
Cypress's location along Highway 290 provides access to the Energy Corridor, Northwest Houston employment centers, and even the Galleria (though commutes can exceed 45 minutes during peak hours). The Grand Parkway has improved connectivity significantly, making Cypress viable for a broader range of Houston workers. This is Houston's new construction headquarters—walk into most homes and you'll find modern open floor plans, oversized islands, study nooks, game rooms, and outdoor living spaces that define contemporary family luxury.

The Cypress Lifestyle
Cypress life is about new construction convenience and outdoor family recreation. Mornings begin with children walking to newer Cy-Fair ISD schools or parents commuting via Highway 290 to Energy Corridor offices. Work-from-home professionals enjoy spacious study rooms and home offices (most new Cypress homes include dedicated office space). Afternoons mean school pickups, sports practices at community fields, or homework sessions in open-concept family rooms. The real magic happens outdoors—evenings bring family walks or bike rides on miles of trails, kayaking on Bridgeland or Towne Lake's waters, or fishing from community docks. Weekends revolve around swimming at resort-style community pools, youth sports leagues, family bike rides, or social events at community amenity centers. Cypress residents embrace the outdoor lifestyle—you'll see families kayaking, biking, and walking trails year-round. The area's relatively affordable luxury (compared to Inside the Loop) allows families to upgrade to 4,000+ square feet, add pools and outdoor kitchens, and still have money left for travel and activities. Cypress attracts young families (25-45) who prioritize space, new construction, and outdoor amenities over proximity to downtown Houston.
