In 2023, Open Door’s report highlighted Cypress and Katy as the top two hottest ZIP codes in the United States for homebuyers. Cypress’s 77433 ZIP code ascended to the first position, up from seventh place in 2022, while Katy’s 77493 ZIP code secured the second spot, moving up from third the previous year.
This trend underscores a growing preference among homebuyers for suburban areas that offer convenient amenities without the congestion of larger cities. The report noted that many buyers sought turnkey homes in accessible towns, reflecting a desire to escape the hustle and bustle of bigger cities.
Additionally, Park Row’s 77449 ZIP code, located near Katy, made its debut on Open Door’s list at the 20th spot, further highlighting the appeal of the Houston suburbs.
These rankings indicate a significant shift towards suburban living, with buyers seeking ready-to-move-in homes in areas that provide a balance between accessibility to major metropolitan centers and a more relaxed, community-oriented lifestyle.
For those considering a move to the Houston area, Cypress and Katy present attractive options with their rapid growth, community amenities, and proximity to the city.
