Quaint church at the crossroads in Cypress. This is where all the major roads intersect, forming a picturesque triangle. This would be an ideal spot for a real town center.

I love these pictures of your neighborhood. We've visited Houston before and was really impressed with the tree lined streets, neigborhood parks, and beautiful homes. Seems like a nice place to raise a family.......Hope to see more pictures.

Hey Mr football . . . That was great seeing the pics. Really gave me a feel for the community. Here in california homes would start from the 1 million mark to be in a place as nice as that. I have a home as a rental in Indian Village in Cypress I think it's called. Is that visable on the aerial map you posted? I chose it because there were a fair amount of trees as aopposed to some other communities I looked at which looked barren except for a few starter trees.
Where did you get the aerial picture?

Looks very nice. What is the commute like from there to the med center? What do the HOA fees run?
