Hockley shines with open land, creating a fertile home ground for hunters, anglers and people who enjoy living on acreage. This is an everybody-knows-everybody type of town situated between the agricultural community of Waller and the bigger city of Cypress. Hockley is remote but well connected as it's bisected by Interstate 290, providing a direct path to Houston and intersects just east with Interstate 99, Houston's outermost beltway. "There are certain parts of this area that are still very rural. Especially the closer you get to Waller, which is further out on I-290, but we are starting to see it fill in right off I-99," says Realtor Staci Russell, who has sold homes in the area through eXp Realty for three years. "It's amazing how much land the builders have claimed, and it's growing like there's no tomorrow," adds Realtor Asma Tyebally, who specializes in residential and commercial properties in the Houston metropolitan area for Keller Williams Preferred. Hockley is currently not known for its retail or robust entertainment options, but locals have all of that and more just 15 miles from home in Cypress.
Hockley is a charming small town with a rich history and a warm, welcoming community.

Master-planned living at Cypress Green
Hockley's homes range from rural hideouts to those integrated into a social setting. "You're going to see a mix of different home types," says Russell. "A lot of these older homes out there sit on more acreage and are more of your traditional style ranch. But with the new construction that's popping up everywhere is more master-planned communities from builders like Lennar and Long Lake." One of these new communities is Cypress Green, where there's mostly brick neo traditional homes, though some have a modern farmhouse feeling. The communities Amenity Village is currently in construction, but will eventually bring pickleball courts, a lap pool, waterpark, dog park and more to a central location. Homes in Cypress Green range from the $200,000s to $500,000s. Russell says that housing prices are similar for established homes in Hockley. "Though obviously, there are homes that are more expensive depending on acreage," she adds. Residences on 2 to 5 acres price from around $600,000 to $2 million. Russell says inclement weather is rare but a significant storm ripped through Hockley in 2024, leaving residents without power and some personal property damage. Additional insurance is always worth looking into.
