An Apartment Locator for Spring, Westfield and the CityPlace Area

That depends on which side of Spring Creek your address falls. On the Harris County side, CenterPoint Energy owns the wires, and you choose your own retail provider on the state's Power to Choose site. Plan choice changes your monthly cost. Some addresses north of Spring Creek, toward The Woodlands line, are served by Entergy Texas. That is a regulated utility with a single rate and no provider shopping. Ask which utility serves the building before you sign a lease. We bring it up early on every search here.

Spring Creek and Cypress Creek both have documented flood history, including in Harvey. Check every specific address against the current FEMA flood map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer before applying. Then ask the landlord directly about Harvey, Imelda, and Beryl. Harvey's flooding in Harris County hit mostly homes outside the 100-year floodplain, so a clean map result does not settle the question. Standard renters insurance excludes flood; an NFIP contents-only policy covers it and is inexpensive.

Some apartments in Springwoods Village and CityPlace are close enough to walk or bike to the ExxonMobil campus. Distances vary by specific building and by which campus entrance you use. Our free commute tool shows walk and drive times to the main campus entrance for any address. If you are relocating for ExxonMobil, ask HR about corporate lease programs. Some employers negotiate preferred rates with nearby communities before individual renters apply.

Spring ISD serves much of the area. Klein ISD covers portions to the west and northwest, and Aldine ISD reaches parts of the southern corridor. Boundaries are not always obvious. Check the specific address rather than the neighborhood name before committing to a unit if school assignment matters. We can show you how to look up the school district for any address.

Often yes, at the right building. Older, independently managed complexes tend to give managers on site real say. A larger deposit, a lease co-signing company such as TheGuarantors, or documented employer relocation often moves applications forward. Newer corporate managed communities run formal screening with conditional paths. Texas landlords must, in most cases, make written tenant selection criteria available before you pay an application fee, so get them and read them. Search Harris County Justice of the Peace records for your name; a dismissed case can still appear on screening reports. Before you spend an application fee, we share what we've seen of each community's criteria.

Budget roughly $90 to $150 or more a month if either sits on your daily route. Both systems accept EZ TAG. A unit that saves $200 a month in rent can give back a meaningful share in tolls before you count fuel. Put the rent and your likely toll cost side by side, and ask us if you want help thinking it through.

A Municipal Utility District issues bonds for water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure and levies property taxes to repay those bonds. That cost flows into rent and, in many buildings, shows up as a separate water bill through the district. MUD taxes add their own rate on top of county and school taxes, and that rate differs a lot from one district to the next. They vary by district and decline over time as bonds are paid off. Ask which MUD serves the building and what the water bill averages before comparing rents.

Some communities in Springwoods Village and CityPlace offer preferred employer deals for ExxonMobil and Hewlett Packard Enterprise employees. These can lower deposits or waive certain move-in fees. The programs change by property and by season. Ask your HR department about corporate lease options before you apply. Ask us too, and we'll share which buildings we've heard are taking part right now.
