Ah, Bridgeland. If you've lived in Cypress longer than five minutes (and I have—going on a 5 years now), you've heard the name dropped in every HOA meeting, school pickup line, and H-E-B checkout convo. It’s one of Cypress’ crown jewels, but if you're curious about what types of homes exist in Bridgeland—or how many homes there actually are—you’re not alone. I get this question constantly from new neighbors and friends moving to the area.

So, let’s talk Bridgeland homes: the styles, the numbers, and whether or not you’ll need a gate code to visit your in-laws. I’ll break it all down for you—journalist style, but with a neighborly twist (and maybe a mom joke or two).

As of 2024, Bridgeland boasts over 7,000 completed homes, with plans to eventually top out at around 20,000 homes across its master-planned communities.

This isn’t your average neighborhood. Bridgeland is a master-planned, 11,500-acre community developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation. The community is being built in phases, including sections like Lakeland Village, Parkland Village, and the newest addition, Prairieland Village.

Translation? It's big. Like, “grab-a-golf-cart-to-make-it-to-the-mailbox” big.

Whether you're dreaming of a starter home or planning your forever nest, Bridgeland has something for everyone (except maybe folks looking for a $100,000 fixer-upper—that ship has sailed, friend).

Here are the main types of homes you’ll find in Bridgeland:

These are the bread and butter of Bridgeland. You’ll find:

Builders include names like Perry Homes, Beazer Homes, Highland Homes, David Weekley, and Chesman Homes, Lennar, among others. (If you’re like me, you’ve toured their model homes just for fun. No shame!) [See all Bridgeland Builders.]

Townhomes are another great offer from Bridgeland. These are great for empty nesters or people who hate mowing lawns (again, no shame—I personally prefer my grass under someone else’s care).

Building on Custom homes is still ongoing in Prairieland village as of this publishing and they start in the $1M. In Bridgeland’s more exclusive enclaves—think Hidden Creek or Sheldon Lake—you’ll find:

There’s still a ton of building going on. In fact, you can smell the fresh paint and hear the nail guns if you’re out for a morning jog.

This one trips people up. Bridgeland as a whole is not a gated community—it’s an open master-planned development.

BUT! Certain sections within Bridgeland are gated, particularly in the luxury custom-home pockets. For example:

So if you’re wondering whether Aunt Karen needs a gate code to drop off that casserole—probably not. But if you're in a high-end corner, maybe.

There are four villages currently within Bridgeland according to their main community map. Each "village" in Bridgeland has its own unique flair, amenities, and architectural personality. Here's the breakdown:

Coming soon: Creekland Village, which is still in the planning pipeline as of this writing. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

People aren’t just buying homes here—they’re buying a lifestyle. Bridgeland is a nature-forward, family-centric, dog-welcoming (seriously, the dog parks are next-level) neighborhood with top-tier schools and beautiful master planning.

Plus, we’ve got:

Q: What’s the best village to live in?
A: Totally subjective, but Lakeland is great for that established neighborhood feel, while Parkland and Prairieland offer newer construction and trending styles.

If you're considering a move to Bridgeland, you're in good company. The community’s zip code (77433) was voted the most moved into neighborhood in 2025 by MovingPlace.com with 3,638 inbound moves at the start of 2025. But that’s no surprise to me, the thoughtful planning, variety of home types, and balance of nature + convenience make it a top-tier choice in Cypress.

And hey, if you ever want to borrow a kayak (or need a neighbor to recommend a pest control company that actually works), drop me a line.

Until then—happy house hunting, friend.
