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.

Explore the community
Cypress Green offers premium homes from seven renowned homebuilders and access to excellent Waller ISD schools. Its forthcoming Amenity Village will include tennis and pickleball courts, a recreation center, playground, dog park, courtyard and pavilion, and a resort-style pool along with a lap pool, waterpark, and splashpad.

Houston is a millennial magnet.

Houston and its surrounding cities have already proved to be magnets for millennials, and now a new national housing report has established the city as one of the 15 hottest destinations for millennials, whose local homeownership rate has nearly doubled since 2018.

The number of millennials who own their homes in Houston has grown from 227,365 to 418,698 households over the last five years (84.2 percent), according to a new housing analysis from RentCafe.

The study compared homeowner growth rates versus renter growth rates of millennials — based on Pew Research Center's definition as individuals born between 1981 and 1996 — across 107 U.S. metro areas from 2018 to 2023.

Houston ranked No. 29 in the overall list of U.S. metros that have seen the highest increase in millennial homeowners since 2018. About 49 percent of all Houston-area millennials own their homes, with the remaining 51 percent renting, the report found.

Houston also ranked 22nd in the national list of cities with the biggest growth rates among millennial-age renters. The number of millennial renter households jumped from 397,410 to 439,371 in five years, a 10.6 percent hike.

About 5.3 million millennials have become homeowners over the last five years nationwide, RentCafe's analysts said, which represents a massive 74 percent increase in millennial-owned households. The growth rate of renters was much lower in comparison.

"At the same time, the number of millennial renters in the U.S. rose by a modest 5 percent, adding approximately 600,000 households," RentCafe said. "This brings the total number of millennial homeowner households to 12.4 million, close to the 12.6 million millennial renter households."

While the rate of millennial homeowners is on the rise, the same can't be said for Gen Zers. Less than 15 percent of all Gen Z households in Houston own their homes, while the vast majority are renters, a separate RentCafe study found.

Elsewhere across the state, Austin (No. 7) and San Antonio (No. 10) ranked among the top 10 U.S. cities with the biggest growth rates among millennial homeowners.

The top 10 U.S. metros with the highest gains in millennial homeowners are:

No. 1 – North Port, Florida
No. 2 – Lakeland, Florida
No. 3 – Jacksonville, Florida
No. 4 – Stockton, California
No. 5 – Oxnard, California
No. 6 – Palm Bay, Florida
No. 7 – Austin, Texas
No. 8 – Tuscon, Arizona
No. 9 – Deltona, Florida
No. 10 – San Antonio, Texas
