School zoning does not follow subdivision lines

Why it matters

Two homes, one street, different schools

Cypress-Fairbanks, Katy and Waller ISD boundaries cut through communities, and they get redrawn as campuses open.

How we handle it

We check the current zone

For any home you are serious about we confirm the attendance zone against the district’s own boundary tool rather than a listing field that may be out of date.

What to compare

How to choose between two communities

01
Total tax rate
Compare the full rate including MUD or PID, not just the county line. The difference can be several hundred dollars a month at the same price.
02
HOA dues and what they cover
Some communities include pools, trails, lawn care and events. Others charge less and offer less. Ask what the dues actually buy.
03
Commute reality
290, 99, I-10 and the Beltway behave very differently at 7am. Drive the commute at the time you would actually drive it.
04
Flood history and insurance
Check the flood zone, the drainage plan and the insurance quote before you fall in love with a home. This matters in Houston.
05
Where the community is in its build-out
Early sections mean construction traffic; late sections mean the amenities are already finished. Both are fine, but they are different experiences.
06
Resale depth
A community with a steady resale market is easier to leave if life changes. We can show you the sales history before you buy.

Ashley Gebora is an exceptional real estate agent, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly for anyone buying or selling a home in Cypress, Texas. As part of the Gebora Realty Team at Blair Realty Group, Ashley brought incredible market knowledge, professionalism, strategy, and calm confidence to both sides of our real estate journey. She expertly helped us navigate some unique and complicated circumstances with ease, always making us feel like there was a plan and that we were in capable hands. On the buying side, she helped us find and purchase the dream home we had been hoping for for more than a decade! Then she absolutely delivered when it came time to sell our Cypress home. Even in a complicated real estate market, Ashley positioned and marketed our home so well that we received multiple offers, went under contract after the very first weekend on the market, and sold for over asking price. Ashley knows the Cypress, TX real estate market, understands how to negotiate and strategize, and truly advocates for her clients from beginning to end. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

Ashley and Kaci were both very patient and provided us with their best knowledge and information in finding our home. They took the time to know what our individual interests were and helped us navigate through a very competitive housing market. We are looking forward to living our retirement years in our dream home in the country that would not have been possible without their realty expertise.

Exceptional team! We moved here from another state, and Kaci and Ashley helped us beyond measure. They found a wonderful place for us to rent while we house hunted and walked us through purchasing and closing on our home. They were always available to listen, answer questions and give sound advice. They were a joy to work with and I highly recommend their services.

Ashley Gebora and Gebora Team Realty provided us with an unparalleled selling experience. Ashley did her research on our home, neighborhood and market trends and came to the table prepared with an easy to understand market analysis to help us set just the right price for our home that would be both appealing to buyers and give us the value we felt our home was worth in today’s market. From listing to closing, Ashley and her team were there for us for the big moments and small questions and made us feel like we were always the number one priority, no matter how busy they were. 10/10 would recommend.
