Get to know Crosby

Welcome to Crosby

Crosby ISD serves the town. More than half of what is listed is new construction, and the price mix is weighted below $300K.

Few of the current listings fall inside a FEMA special flood hazard area. Most homes sit on conventional subdivision lots of under a quarter acre, with a handful of acreage tracts in the mix. About half of the current inventory is new construction, the rest resale. Every number below — prices, inventory, schools — is pulled live from our MLS feed.
