Cypress<\/strong><\/h2>\nMuch of the recent growth and expansion in Houston is in Cypress. With plenty of\u00a0land\u00a0to spread, that\u2019s just what\u2019s happening. The brand-new Grand Parkway 15-mile segment connecting Cypress to Katy is part of a planned 185-mile outer loop making it even easier to travel in the urban sprawl.<\/p>\n
Back in the 1850s, Cypress served as an early commercial and transportation center, thanks to the extension of the Houston & Texas Central Railroad to Cypress. Its downtown featured saloons, stores, and\u00a0hotels in the center of the widespread rice farming community.<\/p>\n
Today, families move to Cypress for its location, beauty and school district. Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District (Cy Fair ISD) ranks as the largest \u201crecognized\u201d school district in Texas. A few years ago, it was adding 4,000 new students a year. Not to mention the 2,500 students that moved to the area after Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n
Here are some areas to consider if you\u2019re thinking of moving to Cypress.<\/p>\n
Longwood & Coles Crossing<\/strong><\/h3>\nCypress\u2019 resurgence began in the 1990s with the opening of two master-planned communities, Longwood and Coles Crossing. Longwood is tucked inside a grove of pine trees, which makes for a beautiful setting. It also features the Longwood Golf Club. Coles Crossing is focused on preserving the natural environment with more than 2,500 homes situated on 1,500 acres of forested land. Folks who love the outdoors will appreciate the miles of greenbelt trails and 56-acre Nature Park along Cypress Creek.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s considered one of the best master-planned communities for families thanks to the environmental preservation and sustainability that were built right into the design. The reality of this purposeful planning is open spaces, 900 acres of lakes, 60 miles of trails, self-sustaining irrigation\u00a0and\u00a0future town centers. Residents and wildlife are able to thrive in 3,000 acres of open spaces! Bridgeland hosts several major free festivals (NatureFest and Howl-O-Ween Fest) that attract thousands of folks each year.<\/p>\n
Its recent awards include 2015 Community of the Year (Texas Association of Home Builders) and 2013 Master Planned Community of the Year (Greater Houston Builders Association).<\/p>\n
Towne Lake<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Towne](\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/lake.jpg\")

Folks are thrilled with the brand-new, major grocery store built right in the community, complementing the design style of the subdivision. Towne Lake is currently building a marina and boardwalk, attracting many restaurants and businesses that are unique in the area. The idea is for residents to boat to dinner for waterfront dining and activities using marina parking. It\u2019s a unique concept in Houston, for sure!<\/p>\n
With all the families moving into the area, it\u2019s no surprise Cypress\u2019 school district is growing as well. Cy Fair ISD grew from being the 10th largest district in the state to the 4th largest, with approximately 110,000 students. Its 12th high school opens in 2016 and another follows in 2017.<\/p>\n
Katy<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Move](\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/katy.jpg\")

In addition to its strong school district, Katy is known for its excellence in football. Katy Tigers have been\u00a0state\u00a0finalists or state champs 10 of the last 15 years. For those looking to move west, one of the best master-planned communities in Katy is Cinco Ranch. This community \u2013 about 25 miles west of Houston \u2013 continues to thrive since it\u2019s always adding new amenities. Residents enjoy The Beach Club, the University\u00a0of Houston System at Cinco Ranch, Golf Club at Cinco Ranch, La Centerra outdoor shopping center and water parks.<\/p>\n
Cinco Ranch ranked No. 3 in the nation among master-planned communities in 2013 and No. 13 in 2014. The prevalence of homes is shrinking, though the interest is still there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It\u2019s no wonder Bridgeland has earned such accolades, considering its developer, The Woodlands Development Company, is the same one that designed The Woodlands years ago.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s considered one of the best master-planned communities for families thanks to the environmental preservation and sustainability that were built right into the design. The reality of this purposeful planning is open spaces, 900 acres of lakes, 60 miles of trails, self-sustaining irrigation\u00a0and\u00a0future town centers. Residents and wildlife are able to thrive in 3,000 acres of open spaces! Bridgeland hosts several major free festivals (NatureFest and Howl-O-Ween Fest) that attract thousands of folks each year.<\/p>\n
Its recent awards include 2015 Community of the Year (Texas Association of Home Builders) and 2013 Master Planned Community of the Year (Greater Houston Builders Association).<\/p>\n
Towne Lake<\/strong><\/h3>\nCredit: Towne Lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTowne Lake is a newer neighborhood in Cypress experiencing growth today. Folks are thrilled with the brand-new, major grocery store built right in the community, complementing the design style of the subdivision. Towne Lake is currently building a marina and boardwalk, attracting many restaurants and businesses that are unique in the area. The idea is for residents to boat to dinner for waterfront dining and activities using marina parking. It\u2019s a unique concept in Houston, for sure!<\/p>\n
With all the families moving into the area, it\u2019s no surprise Cypress\u2019 school district is growing as well. Cy Fair ISD grew from being the 10th largest district in the state to the 4th largest, with approximately 110,000 students. Its 12th high school opens in 2016 and another follows in 2017.<\/p>\n
Katy<\/strong><\/h2>\nCredit: Cinco Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nKaty has come a long way since its beginning as\u00a0a hunting\u00a0ground for the Karankawa Indians! With roughly 75,000 residents today, Katy offers a nice mix with its \u201cOld Town Katy\u201d and modern amenities.<\/p>\n
In addition to its strong school district, Katy is known for its excellence in football. Katy Tigers have been\u00a0state\u00a0finalists or state champs 10 of the last 15 years. For those looking to move west, one of the best master-planned communities in Katy is Cinco Ranch. This community \u2013 about 25 miles west of Houston \u2013 continues to thrive since it\u2019s always adding new amenities. Residents enjoy The Beach Club, the University\u00a0of Houston System at Cinco Ranch, Golf Club at Cinco Ranch, La Centerra outdoor shopping center and water parks.<\/p>\n
Cinco Ranch ranked No. 3 in the nation among master-planned communities in 2013 and No. 13 in 2014. The prevalence of homes is shrinking, though the interest is still there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Towne Lake is a newer neighborhood in Cypress experiencing growth today. Folks are thrilled with the brand-new, major grocery store built right in the community, complementing the design style of the subdivision. Towne Lake is currently building a marina and boardwalk, attracting many restaurants and businesses that are unique in the area. The idea is for residents to boat to dinner for waterfront dining and activities using marina parking. It\u2019s a unique concept in Houston, for sure!<\/p>\n
With all the families moving into the area, it\u2019s no surprise Cypress\u2019 school district is growing as well. Cy Fair ISD grew from being the 10th largest district in the state to the 4th largest, with approximately 110,000 students. Its 12th high school opens in 2016 and another follows in 2017.<\/p>\n
