Cypress is located in Harris County

The Cypress Fairbanks region is located northwest of Houston. The two main crossroads, FM 1960 at U.S. Highway 290 and at State Highway 249, are 21 miles from Houston’s central business district. This largely unincorporated Harris County region gains a strong sense of community from association with territory found within Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District’s boundaries. Jersey Village is an incorporated city located within the area.

Including approximately 186 square miles within Cy-Fair ISD and additional land in some adjacent zip code areas, the Cy-Fair area contains established neighborhoods, mini ranches and forested acreage. In addition to being within a reasonable commute of the huge job base in Houston, much of the land has been reasonably priced. These conditions formed the basis for the area’s strong growth. Both the Northwest Freeway (U.S. 290) and State Highway 249 form good commuting links with Houston. In addition, opening of the Sam Houston Tollway in recent years added excellent access to the south and to the east.

Cy-Fair Independent School District has been one of the area’s major attractions. With more than 55,000 students, this public school district is second only to Houston ISD in enrollment size within Harris County. Citizen commitment to education has permitted the District to provide the staff, facilities and programs that have produced a reputation for quality learning experiences. The five high schools graduate students who have test scores and college enrollment ratios that exceed state and national averages. As a result of a recent referendum, a state-of-the-art, comprehensive community college soon will be built in the heart of Cy-Fair.
