Some of the perks of living in a master-planned community are obvious, such as the sparkling pools, sleek fitness center, and family-friendly playgrounds and parks galore. But what really sets a neighborhood apart is the personal touch, and Cypress Green in Hockley definitely has that covered.

The 635-acre community has its own lifestyle director on staff whose sole job is to make sure residents are having fun, forming friendships, and making memories.

And how exactly do they do that? By planning a calendar full of events, clubs, meet-ups, and holiday celebrations year-round.

Life with a lifestyle director
It begins with the meet-and-greet resident happy hours, and then before you know it you're joining the recreational cornhole league, going all in with the poker club, or swapping tips at the moms group.

Holidays are also a big deal at Cypress Green, and encompass everything from Easter egg hunts to the Fourth of July street party. Decorate pumpkins and show up in your best costume for the Halloween contests, or swap cookie recipes at the holiday party and enjoy story time with Santa.

Open door policy
And if you've got an idea for a club or event, share away! Residents are encouraged to visit the Information Center not only for answers and tips about daily life in the community, but also to chat with the friendly staff, share feedback, ask questions, and indulge in a sweet treat: Ice cream cones are always free for residents!

The Information Center is open Wednesday-Sunday from 10 am-6 pm and Monday-Tuesday from 2-6 pm.

200 Westmoreland, once home to Jackson Hicks, is on the market for $2.95 million

Once upon a time in Houston, Jackson Hicks was “The Prince of Parties.” The renowned caterer and event planner behind Jackson and Co. threw some of the best bashes in the Bayou City, for everyone from presidents to bold-face society names.

Hicks passed away in 2020, but the memories of “a Jackson” event live on for anyone who attended one.

Memories also linger through the walls of 200 Westmoreland Street, Hicks’ former home, a 1910 Greek Revival masterpiece, where Hicks himself welcomed many of the city's icons. The home is on the market for $2.95 million and represented by Tim Surratt of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty.

A true “if these walls could talk” space, 200 Westmoreland Street has been updated for modern sensibilities, while retailing all of its original elegance. A grand entry opens into the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home’s light-filled rooms. The chef’s kitchen has marble countertops, a Wolf range, and a cozy breakfast room. Upstairs, the primary suite has a fireplace, walk-in closet, luxurious bath, and access to a spacious den with a balcony.

Lovely details include tall windows, intricate millwork, original hardwood floors, and four fireplaces.

200 Westmoreland Street was made for living and entertaining, with cozy nooks and open rooms offering spaces for gathering with family and friends. A pool house doubles as a workout space or guest suite with a Murphy bed and full bath. And the detached two-story carriage house has a four-car garage and a one-bedroom apartment. The heated outdoor pool and deck surrounding it add to the home’s appeal.

From curb appeal through its living spaces and grounds, 200 Westmoreland Street evokes gracious living. That’s exactly what Jackson Hicks brought to his events, and what this home’s new owners will surely appreciate.
