The Groves, Atascocita

Community character

The Groves is a master-planned community of about 1,000 acres. It opened in 2015 and was Crescent Communities' first ground-up Texas community. It was planned for 2,200 single-family homes. Source

Generation Park describes The Groves as 993 acres of wooded landscape just west of Lake Houston, developed by Crescent Communities, with trails, parks, pools, fishing, natural reserves and a creek through the community. Source

Shea Homes' master-plan page lists a fitness center, resort-style pool, playgrounds, splash pad, fire pit, catch-and-release fishing pond, baseball and soccer fields, trails, and views of Madera Creek with nearby access to Lake Houston. Source

Pavilion at The Groves, a 318-unit garden-style apartment complex, was planned on a 20-acre tract at 15951 Woodland Hills Dr. Martin Fein Interests bought the site from Ashlar Development (Virtual Builders Exchange, May 15, 2020). Source

Property taxes, MUD and other districts

Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 504: $1.05 per $100 (2024: debt $0.64, maintenance $0.28, road $0.14). The district says the 2025 rate is also $1.05. Tax year: 2025 Source

Harris County ESD No. 46: 0.10 per $100. Tax year: Reported Jan. 2023 (Community Impact) Source

Atascocita is unincorporated, so there is no city tax, but utility districts (MUDs) and an emergency services district add to the county and school rates. Rates are set each year; check the total for the address on the Harris County Tax Office or HCAD site. Texas law requires the seller to give you the MUD notice before you sign.

Schools

The Groves is in Humble ISD. Attendance zones are set by address and can change, so I do not list zoned campuses here. Check the exact address with Humble ISD’s attendance zone tools or call the district at 281-641-1000.

Flood-risk research

• msc.fema.gov: FEMA Flood Map Service Center: the official source for effective flood maps (FIRMs). Search by address.
• www.harriscountyfemt.org: Harris County Flood Education Mapping Tool, run by the Harris County Flood Control District. Interactive map of floodplains, watersheds, ponding and channels. Not the official FIRM.
• www.maapnext.org: MAAPnext draft flood maps for Harris County (HCFCD, with FEMA). The site says the maps are drafts, cannot be used for insurance or regulatory decisions, and FEMA will issue Preliminary FIRMs later. No date given.
• www.harriscountyfws.org: Harris County Flood Warning System (HCFCD): rainfall, water levels, channel status and flood inundation information.

Risk varies by property. FEMA reports that from 2014 to 2024, almost one-third (29%) of National Flood Insurance Program claims came from areas outside high-risk flood zones, so a home outside a mapped floodplain can still flood. Source

Before you make an offer, read the seller’s disclosure, ask about flood insurance and any claims, and get a flood insurance quote. See how to research flood risk before buying.

Good to know

Every builder community we checked is marked sold out; the latest is Westin Homes as of April 28, 2026. No active builder incentives were found, so new-home buying in The Groves now appears to be resale or remaining inventory. Source

The Groves sits about five miles north of Sam Houston Parkway, where Generation Park was being developed (Houston Chronicle). Source

Generation Park (McCord Development) reported more than 651 acres of parks and open space, 60 miles of trails, and about 617,000 sq ft of retail (Community Impact, June 24, 2024). Source
