Living in Hockley, Texas
Hockley is the stretch of US-290 between Cypress and Waller where The Grand Prairie, Cypress Green and Jubilee are turning prairie into subdivisions. Roughly three of every four listings are new construction.
Get to know Hockley
Welcome to Hockley
Most Hockley addresses fall in Waller ISD, with some in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, so the zoned district varies by street. Older acreage tracts along the farm roads still list alongside the new plats.
This is subdivision-lot territory: most homes sit on conventional lots of well under a quarter acre. Most of what is for sale is brand-new or still under construction. FEMA special flood hazard areas touch only a small share of the current listings. Prices, inventory and school data on this page are live from our MLS feed, not a quarterly snapshot.

The Hockley real estate market
What the numbers mean
Not just numbers — what they tell you. Median price, how fast homes really sell, where prices are heading, and which neighborhoods are heating up. Live from our MLS feed, with Allen's plain-English read.
Hockley is a balanced market right now — about 5.3 months of inventory, yet roughly 57% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. The median home sells around $308,245, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 96 days.
Each figure is compared with the same period last year. Where last year's data isn't in our feed yet, you'll see "—".

Homes-for-sale counts are live from the AWS MLS feed (active & pending, residential), matched to each school by its zoned-school name. The shaded areas are high-school attendance zones — the only attendance boundaries published for this district.
Ratings = 2025 Texas Education Agency accountability grades (A–F). Newer campuses may be unrated.

Build a home search that excludes — or includes — the flood plain. Your call.
Flood zones affect your insurance cost, not whether a home is a bad buy — and we're the only site that lets you filter them right out of your search (or zero in on them). Two homes on the same street can sit in different zones; we show real exposure on every listing.

Neighborhoods & communities
Hockley isn't one market
it's dozens
Hockley spans 24+ active communities — each with its own pricing, amenities and feel. Search the list or explore the map — hover either one and the other lights up, with live numbers for that neighborhood.
Layered communities: in Hockley, smaller neighborhoods often sit inside a larger master-planned community — so those homes pay two HOA fees, and the MLS lists both. Where footprints overlap on the map, click the same spot more than once to step through the stacked HOAs (smallest first).
24 of 24 communities
How this works: footprints are the convex hull of each community's listings over the last five years (active plus sold) — a denser, more representative outline from our own data, but still an approximation, not a surveyed HOA boundary. Numbers (active, pending, avg price, new-30d) are live from the AWS MLS feed for Hockley, residential for-sale only. 24 communities with 3+ active listings shown.

Selling with AI
AI helps us pinpoint your most likely buyer, speak their language, and reach more qualified buyers. The moment someone inquires on your home we respond fast and follow up relentlessly — so your home stays top of mind until it sells.
One integrated system, not ten
Most agents rent a dozen disconnected tools. Allen built his own end-to-end system in-house — the website, the live property search, the client database, the follow-up and the marketing, all under one roof. It's why everything just works together.
