Why So Many Houstonians Are Moving to Hockley — And Why They’re Choosing Jubilee
As Houston grows busier by the day, a new wave of relocation is taking shape — and it’s heading northwest. Families from Cypress, Katy, Bridgeland, and even inside the Loop are setting their sights on Hockley, Texas — a fast-growing haven offering space, serenity, and surprisingly easy access to the city.
But they’re not just moving to Hockley. They’re choosing Jubilee.
Escaping Congestion — and Choosing Lifestyle
You don’t have to drive far in Cypress or Katy to understand the appeal of leaving. Once-quiet neighborhoods have grown crowded and complicated. In some communities, it takes 20 minutes just to exit your street. Commutes are long, schools are crowded, and the sense of peace has faded.
More and more homebuyers are searching for a change — and they’re finding it in Hockley. According to recent Zonda housing data, Hockley is now one of the Houston area’s top relocation hotspots, thanks to both affordability and accessibility.
But while new neighborhoods are popping up across Waller County, Jubilee is where the story really begins.
Why Buyers Are Choosing Jubilee
Here’s why families are skipping past other new developments and planting roots in Jubilee:
-
🏡 A quieter pace of life – far from traffic noise and suburban sprawl
-
🎓 Access to Waller ISD – a smaller, more personal school district that families love
-
🚗 Location directly on 290 – no winding roadways or backroads just to get home
-
🌳 Nature and green space – with parks, trails, and outdoor places designed for connection
-
💛 A sense of joy and purpose – Jubilee was built to foster wellness, community, and belonging
Words from a Resident:
“Prime location and I feel like this is a real one-of-a-kind type of community; I'm very fortunate to be one of the first ones here.”
— Joshua Ward, Jubilee Resident
And perhaps most importantly: Jubilee offers more home for your money.
The Affordability Advantage
The average home in Jubilee sells for around $347,000 — significantly lower than nearby master-planned communities. Compare that to:
-
Bridgeland: $475,000
-
Katy: $400,000
That means families choosing Jubilee are saving up to $128,000 compared to Bridgeland — a 36% difference — and around $53,000 compared to Katy (a 15% difference), without giving up access to great schools, quality builders, or modern amenities.
When you combine that kind of savings with less traffic, a family-friendly lifestyle, and direct access to 290, it’s easy to see why so many people are making the move.
