Towne Lake, mapped.
I’m Eddie Weir, REALTOR® with REMAX Signature in Greater Houston. Towne Lake is the lake-anchored master-planned community in Cypress — built around a 300-acre private lake with lakefront homes, the Lakehouse town center, and top Cy-Fair ISD elementary feeders. Active builders include Perry Homes, David Weekley, and Highland Homes. This guide is the lay of the land.
Towne Lake, Cypress, Texas
What Towne Lake Is
A lakefront master-plan in Cypress.
Towne Lake sits in Cypress along the Grand Parkway. Build-out started in 2007 and remains active in select phases. The community is built around a 300-acre private lake with lakefront homes, boat docks, and the Lakehouse town center anchoring dining and amenities. Cy-Fair ISD covers the schools. Active builders include Perry Homes, David Weekley, and Highland Homes.
What Towne Lake Is
Master-planned community built around a 300-acre private lake with lakefront homes, boat docks, the Lakehouse town center, top Cy-Fair ISD elementary feeders, and active new-construction inventory.
What Towne Lake Isn’t
Towne Lake is not the same as Bridgeland — it’s a smaller community 5 minutes south, built around the lake rather than a town center model. It’s also not flood-immune: lakefront properties have specific flood-zone considerations.
Who It’s For
Towne Lake fits Cy-Fair ISD-prioritizing families wanting lakefront living, boat-and-water lifestyle buyers, Energy Corridor commuters, and families looking for a smaller, more focused master-planned community than Bridgeland.

Two things to watch in Towne Lake comp pulls. First, lakefront and non-lakefront homes don’t compare directly — lakefront commands a 20–40% premium. Second, MUD exposure varies by phase.

Schools, Taxes, MUDs
The three things nobody warns Towne Lake buyers about until close.
Towne Lake’s lakefront-anchored profile comes with three consideration areas.
Cy-Fair ISD
Cy-Fair ISD covers Towne Lake. CFISD elementary feeders matter for resale; always confirm at the address.
Property Tax Rate
Towne Lake property tax rates typically land in the 2.7–3.2% range due to MUD bonded debt. Older phases have lower remaining MUD debt.
Lakefront Considerations
Lakefront homes carry specific flood-zone considerations, dock maintenance responsibilities, and HOA rules around lakefront use. Pull the FEMA flood-zone map, the HOA documents, and the seller’s disclosure carefully on any lakefront home.
Why People Pick Towne Lake
300 acres of lake, CFISD, and a quieter Cypress alternative.
Towne Lake’s lifestyle pull is the 300-acre private lake. The Lakehouse town center handles dining and amenities. Boat slips, paddleboard rentals, lakefront trails, and water-focused community programming run year-round. The community is smaller and more focused than Bridgeland; for families prioritizing water lifestyle, that’s a feature.
On the connectivity side, Towne Lake sits in Cypress along the Grand Parkway, 5 minutes south of Bridgeland. Downtown Houston runs 35–50 minutes via Highway 290. The Energy Corridor is 25–35 minutes east via I-10. For Cy-Fair-prioritizing buyers wanting lakefront access, Towne Lake works.
