A residential suburb close to amenities and major highways
On Houston's western outskirts, Mission Bend is a mostly residential community with multiple subdivisions featuring well-kept houses along sidewalk-lined streets. Homebuyers are near many shopping and dining options, and there’s easy access from the neighborhood to Richmond, Downtown Houston and Sugar Land. "The properties have a lot of interest because they're very close to Highway 6," says experienced local Realtor Karla Fonseca Kohnke of Forey Real Estate. This two-lane roadway—lined with supermarkets, big-box stores, fast-food joints and restaurants—leads south to Sugar Land and north to a local jewel: the 7,800-acre George Bush Park.
Mission Bend offers easy access to major roads like Westpark Tollway and Highway 6.

Houses sell quickly in Mission Bend
Mission Bend is made up of numerous subdivisions with single-family homes mostly built between 1970 and the 1990s. Some are single-story Craftsman- and ranch-style homes; others are two-level New Traditional houses with brick and stone facades. “The homes, for the most part, they’re in pretty good shape,” says Real Properties’ Kendall Mire, a leading Realtor in the area for several years. “For the most part, Mission Bend — like the Richmond area — that’s what you call blacktop soil.” Compared to the clay soil seen across much of the rest of Houston, this harder soil leads to fewer foundation issues, Mire explains. Prices start at around $200,000 for a house that may need some work, going up to around $350,000s for an updated property. Houses here sell quickly: “Any home that’s pretty decent is going to last a week at most,” says Mire. Sidewalks line virtually every street in Mission Bend, encouraging walking and biking. HOAs are common here, helping to support community amenities like playgrounds and seasonal pools.

Shopping and dining along Highway 6 and in nearby Richmond

In the community are a handful of small businesses including El Roli’s Birria, known for its birria tacos, Sakura Asian Bistro for sushi and several Mexican and Colombian bakeries. Nearby Richmond is home to many chain restaurants . “Most of the people that live in Mission Bend are going right there into Richmond,” Mire says. “You’ve got everything right there. Outback Steakhouse, Chili’s, Red River Cantina.”
Mission Bend’s convenience extends to its proximity to multiple houses of worship. Houston is home to Texas’ largest Sikh and Muslim populations, and residents in this neighborhood are close to Gurdwara Sahib of SouthWest Houston, Markazi Imam Bargah Al-Murtaza and the ISGH Masjid Hamza - Mission Bend Islamic Center.
