Get Ready For The Miss Cy-Fair Pageant In Cypress Texas

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

The day after April fools should be marked on the calendars of all Cypress residents to attend the second annual Miss Cy-Fair pageant. However there is a fee of two hundred and fifty dollars for young women in the age ranges of fifteen to nineteen. Prizes will be awarded for various categories in the form of checks made out for college scholarships. Adhering strictly to the same rules and regulations that Miss Texas and The Miss Teen Texas ceremonies are governed by will make for a fair contest of beauty.

The area of Cypress Texas is growing up in many ways, and rapidly, as it currently ranks as the fastest growing school district in the entire United States, and has taken some of the glory away from The Woodlands, Memorial, and Katy areas for exceptional places to live, and work. There almost seems to be a race between commercial developers, and homebuilders in who can finish their projects first. People are often shocked at the rapid home sales taking place in Cypress compared to neighboring communities, but Texas has always been known to do the opposite of what everyone else in the country is doing at any one time.

Just like in the area of Spring, Tomball, and Magnolia, Cypress seems to have a home price range to fit most family housing budgets. The current top spots for high end single family homes are in the three and one half million dollar range, and then go down to an affordable mid one hundred thousand dollar asking price for spec built homes. Many of the major chain supermarkets can attest that their stores located in the Cypress area are the number one performers in each company, and that tells real estate speculators this is one strong pocket of the economy and it does not appear to be slowing currently.

Several real estate agents that specialize in placing professionals in apartments have also seen quite a trend of apartment shoppers asking about the Cypress locale instead of the Galleria, and Medical Center apartment selections available. Hopefully all of this great burst of building and consumer buying is a sign of the times and the recession has once again hidden it’s head in the sand for a while longer.

Lastly, if you are a golfing aficionado, and like to knock the balls around on the weekend, then you should call Cypress home, and quickly. They have more golf courses in place than any other community in the Houston and surrounding areas.
