Fulshear is where Houston's west side gets a little more room to breathe. This small town has grown fast, with master-planned communities, a working farm, lakes and trails, and a charming downtown, all about 33 miles west of downtown Houston. Whether you want a brand-new build in Jordan Ranch or an established home in Cross Creek Ranch, I'll help you find your place here, or sell yours for top dollar.

Taxes, MUDs and HOAs
Most Fulshear neighborhoods are in Municipal Utility Districts. Combined property tax rates in the area range widely, from under 2% to over 3.5% of value, and newer neighborhoods usually run higher. I'll pull the exact rate for any home so you know your true monthly payment before you make an offer.
Flood risk
Parts of the area sit in floodplains tied to the Brazos River and its creeks, while most master-planned communities are built above them with modern drainage. I'll check the flood zone and history for every specific property.
