Buffalo Run residents wake in ranch-style homes on meandering suburban streets in an established part of Missouri City. "It's pretty ideal for the schools, commuting and the atmosphere is very family friendly," says Realtor Taylor Webster with Winhill Advisors, a regional expert who sells homes in Buffalo Run. A neighborhood park by the same name was established in Buffalo Run in 2020, balancing out an industrial presence in the neighborhood's northeastern section with manufacturing companies and warehouses. Flowing south of there, Buffalo Run is primarily suburban, however Houston Community College and a few grocery stores settle residential sections. The neighborhood's convenience to Houston lies at its boundaries, where Highway 90, Sam Houston Tollway and Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road all meet on three sides. If locals want to head downtown, they can get there in about 20 miles.

Fishing at Buffalo Run Park
At 96 acres, Buffalo Run Park is by far the neighborhood's largest and most popular green space, thanks in large part to its four interconnected lakes. Anglers are drawn to its fishing piers and there are several boat ramps for a ride along the water. The park features paved and unpaved trails with footbridges connecting its lakes. And it has two drinking fountains with doggie bowls, allowing furry friends to grab a cool drink on runs with their owners. The park is the site of Missouri City's annual Fourth of July celebration, which features mechanical bulls, pony rides, a rock wall and more—all before the fireworks show! Hunters Glen Park is another popular spot during the summer for its splashpad where kids run gleefully through the sprinklers.
