Canyon Lakes West is a part of the master-planned community, Stonegate, which was established in the early 2000s. “The only difference in Canyon Lakes West is that the homes are newer. The houses are grander,” says Realtor Natasha Simon of LPT Realty LPC, a former resident. The neighborhood encompasses 1,800 acres, of which the Miramesa Community comprises at least half. Parks with playgrounds, splash pads, gazebos and waterside spots for picnicking, fishing and kayaking create a life of recreation here. Though Canyon Lakes West is primarily residential, it has a shopping corridor with popular restaurant chains and several medical facilities. Living just east of Grand Parkway, Houston's outermost beltway, connects residents to the rest of the metroplex.
Canyon Lakes West
Swimming at Miramesa Recreation Center
Miramesa Recreation Center on Miramesa Drive is a family-friendly place to beat the Texas heat with its shaded playground, splash pad that's open year-round and a junior Olympic-sized pool staffed by lifeguards. Friends meet at the tennis, basketball and sand volleyball courts and bring their pups to the dog park. If that center feels crowded, there's another pool and gym at Canyon Lakes West Clubhouse, across from Stanton Lake, which is popular with anglers. Residents can also rent the Richard & Meg Weekley Community Center for fitness classes. The center offers a scenic trail winding around a river basin, and its pickleball courts are busy from dawn to dusk. Canyon Gate Splash Pad is in a sister community just outside the neighborhood, offering another place for energetic tots to release steam. "Communities have reciprocity, so it could be used by anyone, as long as you're part of the HOA," says Broker Associate Andrea Curran, a team leader in Cypress through Compass RE TX LLC. Sterling Country Club and Houston National Golf Club are in the original section of Stone Gate, just over 6 miles away. The former is a private course staffed by PGA-certified golf professionals with a double-sided driving range and practice facility. The latter is open to the public, with a pay-to-play 18-hole course.
Food Truck Fridays at the splash pad
Canyon Lakes West has many community events, from wine socials at local bars to Food Truck Fridays at the Canyon Gate Splash Pad. Residents can stay up to date by checking the neighborhood’s private Facebook event page. On the weekends, The Boardwalk at Towne Lake is the spot for live music.

Walmart Neighborhood Market on Cypress Barker Road is just over 2 miles east along Longenbaugh Road. Less than 3 miles north is lakeside shopping at The Boardwalk at Towne Lake, home to the upscale Mexican restaurant Ambriza. Between Stone Gate Commons and Cypress Towne Center, within 7 miles of the neighborhood, residents can stop by local haunts like Plum Coffee Shop and box chains like Target.
Home is a refuge in Miramesa
At 780 acres, Miramesa is built out of an ethos that home is a place of peace and refuge, and its overall design reflects this tranquility. Streets end in sidewalks, and trees are growing to a height where they provide shade. Though homes in Miramesa and Canyon Lakes West as a whole are brick traditional, their exteriors are all a bit different. "When you see houses in this neighborhood, you don't feel like every one of them is the same," says Asma Tyebally, a Realtor with Keller Williams Preferred who specializes in the Houston metro area. Most have steep-pitched gables that emanate a stately feeling, and homeowners requiring more space can find five-bedroom floor plans. Some properties have built-in security systems and home theaters. Homeowners' association fees range from $50 to $100 monthly. Most homes range from the upper $300,000s to $400,000s through a few just under or well over 4,000 square feet head into the upper $500,000s to $600,000s. A new home in a gated section that’s above 5,000 square feet can head into the $1 million range it also costs $400 dollars more in HOA fees a year to live in a gated section. "Just a few years ago, we had prices in the low $300,000 range, so people here have enjoyed quite a gain in their equity," Curran says. Though flooding is common in Houston, flooding is not an issue in Canyon Lakes West according to local broker Nesha Jackson of Home Express Realty.

Schools within the Cypress Fairbanks district that students may attend are Postma Elementary School, Anthony Middle and Cy-Fair High School. Postma is in the neighborhood, while Anthony Middle and Cy-Fair High are 4 to 8 miles away. Earning an A on Niche, the elementary school employs creative measures to encourage studiousness.
