Jordan Ranch

Jordan Ranch stretches from northern Fulshear to eastern Brookshire, just about a half mile south of Interstate 10 and within easy reach of the Texas Heritage Parkway. Johnson Development Corporation, the same group behind some of the region’s most successful master-planned communities, broke ground here back in 2015. Since then, the community has grown steadily across roughly 1,350 acres, and that scale gives it and its residents room to breathe.

At full build-out, Jordan Ranch will hold close to 3,000 homes, so you get the energy of a true neighborhood without ever feeling boxed in. Families here fall within the highly regarded Lamar Consolidated ISD, and the on-site Melton Elementary means many kids can practically walk to class. What really sets the community apart, though, is its agri-hood roots. A working farm sits at its heart, lending the whole place a grounded, down-to-earth character.

Getting around proves refreshingly simple from this corner of Fort Bend County. Because I-10 sits right at the community’s doorstep, commuters reach the Energy Corridor in roughly 20 minutes on a good morning. The Grand Parkway and FM 1093 add even more flexibility for trips toward Katy or Houston. Rush hour traffic does bring some considerable backup near the on-ramps, though the everyday quiet out here tends to win people over anyway.

Step just beyond the entrance and you land in one of the fastest-growing pockets of the Houston metro. Right now, residents run everyday errands at the nearby HEB and the shops clustered along FM 1463. Bigger retail therapy waits a short drive away at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch and Katy Mills Mall, both packed with stores, services, and weekend foot traffic. Closer to home, a new mixed-use district called The Bend keeps filling in storefronts as the community matures.

Dining options keep expanding as the area booms. For a casual bite, locals swear by spots like Chuckwagon BBQ and Burgers, and Fulshear’s small downtown serves up boutiques and family-owned eateries with real personality. When you want a bigger day out, Typhoon Texas Waterpark delivers summer fun, while the broader Katy restaurant scene covers just about every craving. Honestly, you rarely have to drive far to find something good to eat.

Nature lovers tend to fall hard for this part of Fulshear. Brazos Bend State Park, famous for its trails, fishing, and resident alligators, makes for an easy weekend escape. Closer in, the area’s parks and green corridors invite slow morning walks and after-dinner bike rides. That blend of small-town calm and big-city access is exactly what pulls so many buyers out here. You get room to spread out, yet the conveniences of Katy and Houston stay comfortably within reach.

Amenities at Jordan Ranch center on The Shed, the community’s lively gathering hub. Here you will find a resort-style pool paired with a lazy river, which makes hot Texas summers far easier to love. A splashpad keeps the littlest residents giggling, while the clubhouse and its meeting space host everything from book clubs to birthday parties. In short, the social calendar practically builds itself once you move in.

Beyond the water, the community leans hard into healthy, active living. A well-equipped fitness center lets you skip the gym membership entirely. Meanwhile, the community co-op garden gives neighbors a hands-on way to grow their own produce and swap tips over the fence. That agricultural touch ties back to the neighborhood’s farm roots, and frankly, it gives the place a warmth that communities rarely manage to capture.

Outside, the open space is where Jordan Ranch truly shines. Miles of parks and trails wind past playgrounds, shaded benches, and wide stretches of greenspace built for wandering. Several lakes dot the community too, offering scenic spots to fish, reflect, or simply watch the sunset. Because so much of the land stays natural, daily life here feels closer to the outdoors than most suburban neighborhoods ever allow.

Homes in Jordan Ranch receive their annual property tax assessments from the Fort Bend County Appraisal District. The total tax rate consists of several different taxing entities, which can vary depending on the part of the community where you live. These rates typically apply to the school district, MUD district (for those homes not on well and septic), and county or city services, and they will vary based on the specific section the home is located in.

As of the time of this writing (June 2026), the average property tax rate for homes in the neighborhood is 3.90%. Just as with every home in the Fulshear area, these rates apply to every $100 of a home’s valuation. The current average sales price is $473,000, which we’ll use to map out how property taxes work. To understand how that plays out, that $473,000 home could expect to pay $18,447 / year in property taxes: $473,000 / $100 = $4,730 x 3.90% = $18,447.

This of course does not take into account homestead, over 65, and other tax exemptions that offer significant tax savings. Read more about how property taxes work in our area. As of the time of this writing, the annual HOA dues here are $1,050 annually. That figure would be regarded as typical for a community offering the sheer number of and the quality of the amenities as well as the lakes, walking trails, and park areas within the neighborhood.

Homes in Jordan Ranch lean modern, with clean lines and flexible floor plans that suit growing families and downsizers alike. Square footage generally runs from around 1,500 up past 4,500, so the variety here runs deep. Nine respected builders have shaped the community, among them Perry Homes, Highland Homes, David Weekley Homes, Lennar, and Chesmar Homes. Each carries its own reputation for craftsmanship, which keeps the streetscape from ever feeling repetitive.

Lot options span a wide range as well. Homesites start near 5,000 square feet and stretch beyond 23,000, with builder widths running from 40 feet all the way to 70. You will find standard interior lots, corner lots, and quiet cul-de-sac positions throughout the neighborhood. A handful of homes back to the community lakes or greenbelts too, though I should note Jordan Ranch has no golf course, so true golf-frontage lots are not part of the picture here.

On pricing, new construction generally opens in the low $300s and climbs to just south of the $1m mark for the largest plans. Resale homes tend to land in a similar band, with recent sales averaging right around the high $400s. As for availability, the community is nearing the end of its build-out, and builders like David Weekley are selling their final sections. So buyers set on brand-new construction now have a shrinking number of sections left to choose from.
