Fresno is known for its quiet, residential setting 25 miles from downtown Houston, on the fringes of Missouri City and Pearland. The area was largely rural for a century and didn't start taking off until the Houston boom began in the late 1990s. Still, while this unincorporated pocket of Fort Bend County is now filled with subdivisions, it remains country at heart.
"Compared to Pearland, which has grown tremendously, Fresno is a little more stable," says broker Tista Nelson, founder of No Logo Extensive Realty Group. "But communities are coming in, such as Post Oak Pointe, so the growth in the area is going to increase." Roughly 24,000 people live here, many working in the school district and across the metro.

Pearland is known for its strong economy, its good schools, and its family-friendly atmosphere.

New homes at Post Oak Pointe
The median home price in Fresno is around $300,000, lower than the state median. Even new builds are modestly priced. “Olympia Falls and Post Oak Pointe [are] new homes. They range from $240,000 to $300,000, and that’s what people like about the area — its affordable homes with access to the city,” says Pearland native Brett Johnson, a Realtor with C & K Property, Inc. Teal Run was established in the 1980s, making it the city's first development, and it remains its largest residential area. Before Teal Run, more people bought land and built homes in the open countryside. But even today, there's still land available in Fresno.
Custom homes are popping up all over the Teal Run neighborhood.

Fresno is almost entirely residential, but locals live within 5 miles of popular restaurants and retail chains at Pearland Town Center and Fort Bend Town Center. Located along the intersection of Highway 6 and the Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road, the Fort Bend Town Center is actively expanding by adding a large gym, park-and-ride garage and more commercial spaces.

Fresno's family-friendly parks
Playgrounds, soccer fields, pools, dog parks, fishing lakes and tennis courts can be found across Fresno and Missouri City. “There’s a lot of little parks scattered about, but a big one is the Mustang Community Center," Johnson says. “It's like 5 acres.” Fresno's newest is Sundial Park, which brings another playground. The county's largest green space is the 5,000-acre Brazos Bend State Park, 25 miles away.
Teal Run North Park provides a serene environment for outdoor activities and relaxation.

Los Fresnos Rodeo has been around for decades
During the winter, Fort Bend County Fairgrounds hosts the Los Fresnos Rodeo, a tradition since 1990. Outside of the main roping, wrestling and riding events are food trucks, live music and carnival rides.
Expanding public transit options near Fresno
The Missouri City Park & Ride facility, a nearly $60 million investment for the county, opened at Fort Bend Town Center in 2025. The Texas Medical Center has a METRORail stop for travel into Houston and downtown. William P. Hobby Airport is less than 20 miles away, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport is within 40 miles. Farm-to-Market 521 passes through Fresno and intersects with Highway 6. There are at least 10 houses of worship surrounding the highway.
Fresno's crime trends and changeable weather
According to Johnson, the weather in Houston does its own thing. It can snow one week and be 80 degrees the next. “We get the best of both worlds whenever it wants.” He adds that hurricane season lasts from June to November, and Fresno was hit hard by Beryl in 2024, causing flooding, power outages and even blown-off roofs.
On the county's annual police report, crime is trending upward, from a total caseload of 17,198 in 2022 to 17,266. The most common form of crime is family violence.
