Hey y'all — Melanie here with your inside scoop on what's heating up in Cypress this month!
Cypress keeps growing, thriving, and proving why it's one of the hottest neighborhoods in northwest Houston. From brand-new developments to beloved community spots, there's always something happening here. Whether you're raising a family in Bridgeland or enjoying the suburban charm of Cypress Creek, I've got the local intel you need. Let's jump in!
Last Month's Highlights
Bridgeland Grand Opening Celebration
If you missed the grand opening of Bridgeland's new Town Square park, you missed something SPECIAL! Thousands of neighbors came out for live music, food trucks, and the official ribbon cutting on one of the coolest community gathering spaces in all of northwest Houston. The splash pad alone is worth the visit — your kids will thank you.
Cypress Ranch Mustangs Playoff Win
Friday night lights hit different in Cypress, and the Mustangs proved it with a nail-biter playoff victory that had the entire stadium on their feet. The student section was ELECTRIC, and the community pride was through the roof. This is what makes Cypress special — we show up for our teams.
New Restaurant Alert: Local Foods Kitchen
The buzz around Local Foods' opening in Towne Lake was REAL. Farm-to-table freshness meets casual dining vibes, and Cypress residents came out in droves to try everything from the signature salads to the grass-fed burgers. If you haven't been yet, put it on your list!

The MAD Market Snapshot
Cypress Real Estate Update
Current market snapshot
Homes in Cypress are moving faster than a Whataburger line on a Friday night — the average list price is sitting at $425K, with days on market consistently below 30 for well-priced properties. New construction in master-planned communities like Bridgeland and Towne Lake continues to draw buyers looking for modern amenities and that new-build shine.
The Cypress market is competitive, especially for homes with Cy-Fair ISD access and updated features. Inventory remains tight in the $400K–$500K range, which is prime territory for growing families. If you've been thinking about buying or selling in Cypress, let's talk strategy — this market rewards preparation and quick decisions.
Local Business Spotlight
Black Walnut Café
If you haven't discovered Black Walnut Café yet, you're missing out on one of Cypress's most beloved brunch and lunch spots. Located right in the heart of the action on Highway 290, this place has become THE go-to for locals who appreciate fresh, scratch-made food without the pretension.
What makes Black Walnut special? Everything is made in-house daily — from the bread to the desserts to the salad dressings. Owner John Sheely built this concept around quality ingredients and genuine hospitality, and it shows in every dish. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between upscale casual and comfortable neighborhood spot.
Can't-miss items? The Chicken Salad Croissant is legendary (seriously, people drive from other neighborhoods just for this), and the Carrot Cake is the stuff of local legend. The Lemon Blueberry Pancakes are weekend perfection, and their salads are proof that healthy can be absolutely delicious.
Find them at 27110 Hwy 290, Cypress
Open daily, 7am–9pm. Weekend brunch gets busy — arrive early or call ahead!
