Houston has already proved it's one of the hottest destinations for Americans on the move, but a new study has revealed one neighboring city, Cypress, has attracted more new residents than any other place in the country in 2025.

Cypress' 77433 ZIP code topped MovingPlace's new list of the 10 most popular U.S. ZIP codes for movers in 2025.

Another Houston suburb, Katy, with its 77693 ZIP, landed just a few places below it, at at No. 5.

The report analyzed more than 6.38 million moves that occurred between January and May 2025 and ranked the U.S. cities that had the most moves by ZIP code.

During the first five months of the year, Cypress' 77433 ZIP had 3,638 inbound moves, the highest out of all ZIP codes in the nation.

The report says the suburb is a suitable place for families and young professionals based on its "quieter lifestyle" and its proximity to Houston for commuters.

"Located just northwest of Houston, this suburb offers a blend of affordable housing (with Zillow listing the average current house price at $415,000), and an abundance of green spaces, which makes it a more appealing option for some than the nearby city center of Houston," the report's author wrote.

Katy's 77493 ZIP code saw the fifth-highest number of inbound moves during the first part of the year, totaling 2,315 moves. This bustling suburb is a magnet for families searching for homes near high performing schools and a thriving local community.

"Katy also has relatively affordable housing, with the average house price sitting at $352,000, according to Zillow," the report said. "The area’s combination of suburban comfort with access to Houston’s corporate hubs and cultural attractions appeals strongly to those wanting a balanced lifestyle."

Katy's growth has certainly caught the eye of real estate developers: A 165-acre mixed-use shopping center called the Texas Heritage Marketplace broke ground in January 2025, and will eventually bring the city numerous restaurants, retailers, and a five-acre green space.

Texas remains a top destination for movers in 2025 with six total ZIP codes earning top-10 spots on MovingPlace's list. San Antonio suburb New Braunfels and its 78130 ZIP code ranked right behind Cypress with the second-highest number of moves in 2025. There were 3,486 moves that took place in New Braunfels from January to May, the report found

San Antonio's own 78253 ZIP climbed into the No. 10 spot with 2,883 inbound moves during the first five months of 2025.

Austin's ever-popular suburb Leander ranked No. 4 on the list with 3,349 moves occurring in the 78641 ZIP code during that time.

Record-breaking property

A new Houston high-rise is issuing a final call for one of its most desirable units. The St. Regis Residences, Houston has one remaining penthouse available for $14.5 million.

A representative touts that the $3,100 per square foot price is a new record for Houston-area high-rises. It’s one of seven penthouses at the property that range in size from 4,500 to 6,500 square feet.

“The last available penthouse at The St. Regis Residences underscores the strength and maturity of Houston’s luxury market,” said Catherine Lee, president of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, Texas, which is handling sales and marketing for the building. "Discerning buyers are consistently choosing standalone branded residences that deliver enduring quality, trusted service, and global brand recognition — all of which is evidenced by the premium price-per-square-foot. Opportunities of this caliber, particularly at this level of scarcity, are increasingly rare.”

As CultureMap has previously reported, Houston-based commercial real estate firm Satya is building the 37-story, curvilinear tower. Set on a nearly four-acre property near Houston’s iconic Bayou Bend Collection (102 Asbury Street), the tower will offer 90 residences.

Buyers can select from various floor plans, including one-bedroom units. Pricing for these luxurious homes begins at $3 million, with residences starting on the 10th floor.

Residents will enjoy more than 40,000 square feet of amenities, including butler service, a lap pool, steam rooms, saunas, fitness studio, dedicated training space, a yoga and movement studio, and St. Regis-branded bicycles. A dedicated children’s activity center, gaming lounge, theater, and event space will offer entertainment for all ages, while the Cognac Bar and Astor Room on the 26th floor will provide a refined dining experience in homage to the St. Regis founding family.

Additional perks include co-working spaces, two guest suites, and full-building backup generators — an invaluable feature in Houston.

The project is expected to break ground this spring, with an expected completion of early 2029. So far, the building has more than $180 million in gross sales, according to press materials.

“The demand for this level of condominium in Houston continues to show the market is prime for a new paradigm of residential experience and the impeccable service of legendary hospitality that The St. Regis brand is known for,” said Sunny Bathija, owner and developer of The St. Regis Residences, Houston and CEO of Satya.

St. Regis Residences, Houston, is neither owned nor developed by Marriott International or Marriott, but rather SR Luxury Condominium, LTD. It has licensed the St. Regis marks from Marriott for the project.
