Cypress (also known as Cy-Fair for Cypress-Fairbanks) is an independent city area of Harris County, Northwest Forest Conference Center 4Texas, about 25 miles northwest of Downtown Houston. Beginning in the 1980s, large-scale commercial and residential development transformed this once-rural area into one of Houston area's largest suburban communities, with the majority of the housing recently constructed. The rapid growth of brand-new residential construction in Cypress is a strong indication that the local Cypress economy is thriving, and that jobs and other facilities are attracting a large number of new residents. 

Cypress is a perfect place for families who have children for a variety of reasons. For starters, there are many families with children who live here, making it a location where both parents and children can form strong social ties with other families. The top regarded Cy-Fair Independent School District, as well as the growing population of college-educated adults, create an environment that fosters academic success. Home ownership is prevalent in Cypress, with multiple master-planned communities offering areas for children to have fun and community stability. Finally, Cypress' overall crime rate is significantly lower than the national average.
