Weston Lakes

Weston Lakes sits just west of Fulshear, right along FM 1093 in Fort Bend County, and it truly feels a world away from the Houston rush. Developers first broke ground here in the late 1980s, and the community has filled in steadily through the decades since. As you roll through the guarded entrance (yes, they take security seriously here) towering pecan trees and quiet, curving streets set the tone early. Frankly, that first drive in tends to win buyers over before they ever step inside a home.

Because the original developer planned everything around the golf course and the water, the layout still feels unhurried and green. All told, the community holds roughly 1,700 homesites, and while hundreds of homes already stand, newer sections like The Reserve keep filling in. Residents even voted to incorporate as the City of Weston Lakes back in 2008. Two private lakes and frontage along the Brazos River anchor the place with a calm, natural backdrop.

Families here fall within Lamar Consolidated ISD, and the zoning runs from Morgan Elementary to Roberts Middle, then on to Leaman Junior High and Fulshear High School. Better yet, the elementary campus sits just minutes from the gate. The middle, junior high and high school are about 5 miles East. For commuters, the Grand Parkway, the Westpark Tollway, and the new Texas Heritage Parkway make accessing nearby Katy and even into Houston stay within easy reach.

Step outside the gates and Fulshear greets you with genuine small-town charm, even as the wider area grows quickly around it. Downtown Fulshear keeps things walkable and friendly, with local coffee spots, casual eateries, and a handful of boutiques. Meanwhile, fresh restaurants and shops open along FM 1093 almost every season. In short, you get that easygoing country feel without giving up the conveniences buyers count on.

When it comes to errands, the surrounding area keeps daily life simple and close at hand. Nearby Cross Creek Ranch and Cinco Ranch bring H-E-B, Kroger, and the popular shops at LaCenterra within a short drive. For bigger hauls, Katy Mills Mall, Costco, and a beloved Buc-ee’s all sit just a little farther up the road. Because Katy runs only about 25 minutes away, weekend shopping rarely turns into a whole-day production.

On the entertainment side, the region delivers plenty for every age and mood. Outdoor lovers can explore the trails at Brazos Bend State Park, while families flock to Typhoon Texas Waterpark once summer heats up. Closer to home, golf, dining, and live music fill many evenings without a long drive. And whenever big-city energy calls, downtown Houston sits roughly 45 minutes east, which keeps concerts and games within reach.

Security sets the tone first, since a 24-hour guard gated entry watches over the whole community day and night. Beyond the gate, two sparkling lakes and rare Brazos River frontage give the grounds a peaceful, almost resort-like feel. Throughout the neighborhood, pocket parks and playgrounds give younger residents room to roam. Better still, miles of walkways and trails wind past the water, so an easy evening stroll never feels far away.

At the heart of it all stands the Weston Lakes Country Club, and the golf alone draws plenty of buyers. The 18-hole championship course, designed by golf legend Hale Irwin, challenges seasoned players while still welcoming newcomers. A full pro shop stays ready whenever you need gear, lessons, or a quick tee time. Meanwhile, the fitness center keeps members active on the days they would rather skip the fairways entirely.

The club keeps the social calendar full, too, which is partly why neighbors here tend to actually know one another. On any given week, you might find friendly tennis matches, lively pickleball games, or easy laps in the swimming pool. Afterward, the clubhouse and its fine dining give everyone a relaxed place to gather and unwind. Honestly, that blend of sport and good food is what turns a Weston Lakes address into a true lifestyle.

Homes in Weston Lakes 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 2.05%. 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 $708,000, which we’ll use to map out how property taxes work. To understand how that plays out, that $708,000 home could expect to pay $14,514 / year in property taxes: $708,000 / $100 = $7,080 x 2.05 = $14,514.

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 $1,450. That figure would be regarded as average considering the available amenities and green space throughout the neighborhood. Homeowners here are required to maintain membership at the Country Club though at additional monthly expense.

Homes in Weston Lakes cover a remarkably wide range, which is a big part of why the community appeals to so many buyers. Square footage runs from roughly 1,700 feet to sprawling estates pushing 11,000. Floor plans stretch just as far, spanning anywhere from 2 to 11 bedrooms and a matching 2 to 11 bathrooms. Since the oldest homes here went up in the mid 1980s and new ones are still rising today, architectural styles here span several decades.

Pricing spans an equally broad spectrum, so the neighborhood fits more budgets than its gated reputation suggests. Resale homes often land anywhere from the mid $370s to just north of $2.5 million for the grandest estates. Lots prove just as generous, ranging from about 5,000 square feet all the way to a full 4 acres. On top of that, you can pick waterfront frontage, golf course views, wooded settings, or quiet cul-de-sac and corner positions.

Construction has continued steadily since the late 1980s, and fresh homes are still going up through 2026. As a result, building your own custom home in the newer Reserve section remains a very real option here. Over the years, respected builders such as Partners in Building, Cedar Valley Homes, Lone Star Custom Homes, and Trend View Homes have shaped these streets. Each one carries a strong reputation for craftsmanship that helps homes hold their value.
