Jersey Village offers suburban quiet and upgrades near Houston
Jersey Village was named for the cows that once grazed on its land, which was first a dairy farm. The city was incorporated in 1954, so the infrastructure is relatively new. Local officials promised a higher public service level than anywhere else in the Greater Houston area. Judging from recent public works projects such as fiber optic cable installation, new on-street parking and preliminary plans for a new minor league baseball stadium, Jersey Village is true to its word. The Houston Chronicle named it the Top Workplace of the Houston Metro Area in 2022. Its success might be due to Jersey Village's adoption of a so-called home rule charter, which, under Texas law, allows it more freedom to tax and govern than other small cities in the Greater Houston area. Its location in Harris County, just 18 miles from Downtown Houston, makes it an attractive option for buyers looking for the security and quiet of the suburbs in proximity to the big city. According to Andrea Curran, a local broker associate with Compass for the last seven years, places like Jersey Village are growing because "folks are looking to move out of the city, they're attracted to award-winning master-planned communities and for me personally, the schools were a driver."

Upscale subdivisions offer large lots and Tudor-style houses;
Homes and streets have been well-maintained, and the village has the clean and tidy feel of a model suburb. The old-growth willow oaks and wide streets without sidewalks are reminiscent of a midcentury Houston. At the bottom of the price range, Cape Cod-inspired homes built in the late 20th century and housing up to three bedrooms can be found for under $250,000, making Jersey Village an excellent place for new families or buyers near the median income of the Greater Houston area. Upscale subdivisions such as Steeplechase offer larger homes with Tudor-inspired or colonial details on lots up to half an acre for under $350,000. At the top of the market, brand-new modernist mansions with Monterey accents and multiple bedrooms on an acre of land are listed for under $1.5 million. As with most Greater Houston neighborhoods, Jersey Village is crisscrossed by bayous, and some homes are on the floodplain and may require additional insurance.

Cypress-Fairbanks ISD schools offer bilingual and gifted tracks

Cook Middle School received an A-minus from Niche and provides students with a gifted and talented path.

A golf course and pocket parks offer green space throughout the city
Jersey Village is built around an 18-hole golf course in keeping with its suburban nature. The Jersey Meadow Golf Course dates back to the city's incorporation, and its expansive grounds make up the most significant green space in the neighborhood. Several pocket parks are arranged throughout the town, so every subdivision has one. The largest is Clark Henry Park, a 7.5-acre green space shaded by Catawba trees with a substantial aquatic center with a 200,000-gallon pool and waterslide.
Jersey Meadow Park offers lakeside views and walking paths.

Traveling from the suburbs to Houston
Municipal offices and the Jersey Village Emergency Room, a 24-hour community ER, are along Route 290. With the city of Houston and its dynamic economy just a 25-minute drive away, it's no wonder Curran says Jersey Village is becoming "one of the hottest suburbs in Houston."
