Built around Houston’s first hot spring resort

In 1904, Houston oil drillers struck another lucky find—a native hot spring in Cypress. The Houston Hotwell Sanitarium and Hotel was built around the spring, and tourists poured into the area to swim in the natural mineral water or go to the dance hall at the one-of-a-kind resort. Over a century later, the hotel is long gone but the “Hot Wells” name remains. The small community is half truck yards and horse stables and half well-organized residential streets. Houston Hot Wells also has a prime location in the middle of the increasingly popular city of Cypress. "Cypress has grown quite a bit over the last 10 years, becoming one of the hottest Houston suburbs from the restaurants, the schools, to the award-winning master-planned communities," says Andrea Curran, a broker associate with Compass Real Estate who has been selling homes in Cypress area for seven years. “For me, the schools were the main driver, but Cypress is also a great location for commuters."

Homes at some of Cypress’s most accessible price points

Houses in Houston Hot Wells are typically custom-built, brick-lined New Traditional properties that were built after 2015. While most of the neighborhood consists of industrial areas, residential streets have winding sidewalks along small lawns and wide driveways. Prices tend to be between $300,000 and $500,000, which is a lower price range than other planned communities in Cypress. Popular Cypress communities like Towne Lake or Blackhorse Ranch typically range between $500,000 and $2 million. “Because of the diversity of Cypress communities, you’re able to find homes for a lower price point, from 200,000 to 2 million, and they’re all within a few mile radius of each other,” says Ariana White, lead agent of the Porchlight Texas Team through EXP Realty. “So, everyone that lives in Cypress gets the benefits of the shopping areas and the commercial areas, but they’re getting a price point they want.” Houston Hot Wells has a CAP Index Crime Score of 3, below the national average score of 4.
