Cypress Property Management

Cypress is a city in Harris County, Texas, sitting about 25 miles northwest of downtown Houston. Cypress is what’s known as an unincorporated city, meaning it isn’t formally described in legal terms. However, most people consider the southern border to exist as FM 529 Road, with Highway 249 as the upper bound of the area. The western and eastern borders are usually considered to be Highway 6 and FM 1960 Road, respectively.

As for the type of land you’ll encounter, Cypress is split into two main regions. Northeast of US 290, you’ll find densely forested areas, but southwest of US 290 is more open, with grassy fields; many ranches and farms make good use of this area. Like most of Texas, the region experiences mild winters but extreme heat in the summer.

For much of its history, Cypress was a rural town, occupied largely by farmers and ranchers. Originally occupied by Atakapa and Akokisa Indian tribes, German settlers formed the foundation of the town as we know it today. Settlers began to form a community around Cypress Creek as early as 1840, and there was a small population boom after oil was discovered nearby in 1904. Still, by the mid-1980s, Cypress still had a population of only 100 people.

In the mid-1980s, Cypress experienced another overhaul, with new residential and commercial developments from wealthy investors looking to make use of the area. It’s now considered one of the highest-income urban areas in the United States.

If you’re looking for attractions and amenities, these are some of the most popular choices in the area:

• Tin Hall was one of the oldest continually running dance halls in Texas, originally opened in 1889. It closed down in 2015, but still remains a historical landmark in the area.
• The Berry Center, a multi-use complex in the city, offers an auditorium, a football stadium, a basketball stadium, and a catering facility, among other things.
• The Cypress Creek Greenway Project is an ongoing parks development project that’s helping residents get in touch with nature, with long-running trails and open access.
• Telge Park is one of the most popular parks in the area, with 111 acres of woods, grass, trails, and playgrounds.
• Golf courses are all over the place in Cypress, including Longwood, Black Horse, and Houston National golf courses.

Cypress may be the best place for you to buy if:

• You want a low-maintenance home. Since most of the homes in Cypress have been built within the past two decades, it’s an ideal place to buy if you want your home to be maintenance-free. Older homes offer charm and character, but also demand costly renovations and repairs.
• You want to stay away from the city. You won’t be too far from Houston, but you’ll be far enough away to avoid the problems of noise, traffic, and other bothersome aspects of the city.
• You’re interested in owning. With a renting population of only 11 percent, Cypress isn’t the best place to invest if your main priority is renting to tenants. If you want to own, however, home prices are relatively low right now, and property values are likely to remain strong for the next several years, at least.
• You want the best education for your children. If you have children and are looking for the best possible education, Cypress is a good place to settle down. Cypress also has a kid-friendly environment, with lots of parks and attractions to keep them busy and interested.
