A resort-style life at Towne Lake
A typical day in the upscale community of Towne Lake might look like hopping on a golf cart, cruising to the local marina, and steering a motorboat toward a waterside restaurant. This is just one of a handful of master-planned neighborhoods in Cypress, and it is distinctive for being situated around a 300-acre private lake. Commonalities it strikes with many others are neighborhood schools, robust recreational spaces and convenient local shopping and dining. Though Towne Lake is around 15 years old, it's still being developed just west of Highway 290, which provides a direct path to downtown Houston in 30 miles. "Folks are looking to move out of the city," says Andrea Curran, a broker associate with Compass Real Estate who's sold homes in the area for the last seven years. "And for me personally, the schools were a driver."
There are plenty of boating opportunites on Towne Lake.
Towne Lake has a boardwalk with shops and restaurants.

Schools rated A to A plus by Niche
The Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District serves Towne Lake. Postma Elementary School, Rennell Elementary School and Anthony Middle School are all in the community and receive A ratings from Niche. From Anthony Middle, students may filter into Cypress Ranch High School, which earns an A-plus ranking. According to US News World & Report, around 43% of students at Cypress Ranch High participate in advanced placement testing. The school is ranked No. 3 out of the 14 school district's high schools. Lone Star College-CyFair, a community college, is in Towne Lake for a convenient college track.

Sunbathing at Towne Lake's island
The community's lake boasts 14 miles of shoreline and 6 miles of uninterrupted passage for boaters. Its centerpiece is a 1.5-acre island, which offers picnic tables, barbecue pits for grilling, a swimming area and a fishing dock where anglers catch largemouth bass, white crappie and sunfish. Another popular spot is Towne Lake's water park, which rests along the lake and features an Olympic-sized pool and another beachy area for lounging on the sand. There are several marinas in the community for residents who don't have their own private boat slips, including Towne Lake North Marina on Greenhouse Road. Towne Lake's residential sections are anchored by neighborhood parks with playgrounds and sometimes tennis courts, and the community's 24 miles of connected hike and bike trails not only loop around the water but also tie these parks together. Golf courses orbit Towne Lake, including the Black Horse Golf Club, just over 5 miles north on Fry Road.

Dining at The Boardwalk
Towne Lake's trails and lake lead residents almost everywhere locally, including to The Boardwalk, its shopping and dining hub. "I do have friends that live there. We meet up for coffee at The Boardwalk, and they drive in in their golf cart," says 19-year agent Marie Sandoval, team lead for Cy-Hou Realty Group and broker associate for LPT Realty, LLC. Coco Crepes always features a crepe of the month off their wide-ranging menu, which has everything from Tuscan waffles to smoked salmon paninis and lattes. For street corn, empanadas and what's been voted as the best margarita in Houston, locals head to Ambriza, an upscale Mexican restaurant. Happy Hour lasts all day on Mondays, and the restaurant serves a special brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays. There's usually live music on The Boardwalk's small, central green space on those days, too. Kroger is there for grocery runs. Retail is slim, but The Royal Standard sells home decor and offers in-house monogramming for personalized gifts. Houston Premium Outlets is just over 11 miles north, off 290, for more robust shopping options.

Waterfront homes in Towne Lake
Most homes are on or near the water in Towne Lake, but not necessarily the area's largest body of water, which is the community's only recreational lake. Homes in Waters Edge with prime lake access and private boat slips price from $1 million to over $2.5 million. Just across the way from this community, The Waterway section has canal homes starting in the upper $500,000s and heading toward the $900,000s. The most affordable section of Towne Lake is Heritage Cove, a 55-plus community priced from the upper $200,000s to $700,000s. Homeowners can also find townhouses from the upper $300,000s to mid $400,000s. New construction and older established homes are often in the neo-traditional style, but custom builds are common, especially with the larger estates, which sometimes have a Mediterranean flair and sit on a quarter of an acre or more. Home Owners Association Fees often range from $100 to over $200 a month. Towne Lake's Cap Index Crime Score is 3 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4 out of 10. As for weather: "We're in Houston, so we will always have extreme weather: hurricanes, tornados and flooding," Sandoval says. She said Towne Lake is not prone to flooding. Still, she recommends flood insurance anyway, as flooding can be random and unpredictable in Houston.

South of Interstate 290
Though golf carting and boating are a way of commuting in Towne Lake, Sandoval says cars are essential for travel throughout greater Houston as there is no public bus transportation. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is around 30 miles east via the Sam Houston Tollway when flights are needed. Interstate 290, just north of Towne Lake, connects to the tollway, and Interstate 99 is just west of Towne Lake. "Cypress has been growing tremendously. When we moved here in 2012, there was nothing connected to 99. The fact that we have all of this new construction past 99 makes a huge difference," Sandoval says. Local houses of worship include Fallbrook Church on Greenhouse Road, the community's main thoroughfare. There's a branch of the Houston Methodist Hospital on The Boardwalk for convenient care.
