Master Planned Communities and Zip Codes

Posted by Steve Castaneda on Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at 9:43pm.

We added a couple of additions to the site yesterday: a list of all the master planned communities in Houston, and a page dedicated to detailing most of the major zip codes in Houston.

Master Planned Communities

Houston has quite a bit of these types of communities.  They're not too much different than regular communities, except that they're usually planned from the get-go rather than randomly built on like subdivisions used to years ago.

A new town, planned community or planned city is a city, town, or community that was carefully planned from its inception and is typically constructed in a previously undeveloped area. This contrasts with settlements that evolve in a more ad hoc fashion. - Wikipedia

We've listed all the communities we've featured, along with ones that we'll be looking into adding to the site soon.

Zip Codes List and Map

Houston is a gigantic city; 4th in the US last time I checked. Having a zip code map and list can help you if you're looking in a particular part of Houston. Using the list we've created plus our tool to search homes for sale in Houston by zip code, you can find even more homes for sale in the area of choice.

Of course, you could always use our map search, but we know that sometimes you'd like to cut to the chase and just filter homes in a particular zip code rather than scouring a map.  This page is for you!
