Elyson: Homes, HOA and Community Guide

Elyson is a master-planned community in Harris County on the northwest side of the Katy area, west of the Grand Parkway along FM 529. Brookfield Residential's directions to its model village are to exit FM 529 from the Grand Parkway, head west and turn right on Elyson Village Road. Most addresses use Katy 77493; the eastern sections that David Weekley markets as Elyson 40 and 45 use Katy 77449. A Katy mailing address does not by itself mean a home is inside Katy city limits, so check the property's appraisal record.

RCLCO's 2025 ranking lists Elyson's developer as Brookfield Properties, and the earlier research pass recorded the Elyson site footer naming Brookfield Residential as master developer. Brookfield Residential also builds its own homes there. Some older material, including HAR's AI-generated community text and Toll Brothers' earlier blog title, refers to 'Elyson by Newland'; Newland was the earlier developer brand. For anything contractual, rely on the developer disclosures you receive with a purchase contract rather than marketing pages.

On October 20, 2026 we found active Elyson pages for Brookfield Residential, David Weekley Homes, Highland Homes, Toll Brothers and Westin Homes, and the developer's builder page lists Perry Homes' Elyson 45' and 70' sections. The developer's homefinder, checked in an earlier pass, also listed Beazer Homes, Chesmar Homes and Newmark Homes, but we did not open those builders' pages. Builder line-ups change as sections sell out, so confirm who is still selling before you plan a tour.

Yes. David Weekley's Grove Row collection includes a one-story plan (The Burton, from $309,990), its Reserve collection shows one- and two-story quick move-ins, and Toll Brothers says all three of its collections include one- and two-story designs. A Highland Homes 55-foot quick move-in listed on October 20, 2026 was a one-story Surrey plan of 2,593 square feet. Availability of single-story lots changes week to week, so ask each sales office what is open.

Elyson is served by more than one municipal utility district. A HAR sold listing in Elyson shows Harris County MUD 457, and HAR's Elyson tax table (recorded in our earlier research) also lists Harris County MUD 534. Search results show Harris County MUD 171 procurement notices for Elyson section landscaping, but we did not confirm whether it taxes Elyson homes. Which streets fall in which district was not confirmed, so check the property's appraisal record.

Most of Elyson is in Katy ISD: Highland, Westin, Toll Brothers and Perry all describe their sections as Katy ISD. However, David Weekley's Elyson 40 and 45 communities, which use Katy 77449 addresses, list Cy-Fair ISD schools: Walker Elementary, Rowe Middle and Cypress Park High. School assignments and attendance boundaries can change. Confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before making a housing decision.

Builders list different campuses by section. Highland Homes and Westin Homes list Katy ISD's Boudny Elementary, Nelson Junior High and Freeman High School, with Westin noting Freeman for 9th through 11th grade and Paetow High for 12th. A HAR listing in another section showed Bethke Elementary, Stockdick Junior High and Paetow High. Cy-Fair ISD sections list Walker Elementary, Rowe Middle and Cypress Park High. Confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before making a housing decision.

Perry Homes' 2025 guide says the Harmony School of Excellence STEM charter campus is located inside the community, and Brookfield mentions multiple onsite schools in Katy ISD without naming them. Builders name Boudny Elementary for their sections, but we did not confirm its street location from the district. If walking distance to a campus matters to you, check the district's school finder and map the exact address before you choose a lot.

Builders describe two amenity centers. Elyson House has an all-season pool with lap lanes, a splash pad, two fitness centers (one open 24/7), a teen game lounge, event space and the Elyson Café. Lakeside Landing, along a 31-acre lake, adds pools, indoor and outdoor fitness and event space. There is also the 145-acre Elyson Commons with sports courts and a dog park, tennis and pickleball, fishing piers, parks and trails. Access rules and any added fees were not published on a page we could load.

Lakeside Landing is Elyson's second amenity complex. Brookfield's 2022 announcement described it as sitting along a 31-acre lake with two swimming pools, indoor and outdoor fitness centers, event space, a covered pavilion, cabanas and a serenity pond. Brookfield's current Elyson page calls it the community's newest pool and water play area, and its model homes are nearby. Hours and whether any part needs a reservation or fee were not published on the pages we loaded.

Perry Homes' August 2025 guide describes The Shops at Elyson, with services such as a postal center, dry cleaning, a spa and a car wash, and a planned Elyson Town Center anchored by Target and H-E-B, then described as soon to open. We could not confirm the Town Center's current status on an official page. The same builder lists LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, Katy Mills and Houston Premium Outlets among nearby shopping.

Perry Homes and Highland Homes both describe Elyson as about 3,600 acres, and Perry says more than 750 acres are parks, trails, lakes and open space. Those are builder figures; we could not load the developer's own fact sheet. HAR's 2025 neighborhood facts count 3,216 single-family properties in the Elyson subdivision, with more sections still being built. A total planned home count was not found on an official page.

RCLCO ranked Elyson No. 41 nationally for 2025 with 413 new home sales, down from 491 in 2024, and No. 43 in its mid-2026 list with 227 sales in January through June 2026, as reported by Realty News Report. John Burns Research and Consulting placed it No. 10 in Texas for 2025 with 413 sales. These rankings count new home contracts reported by the community and say nothing about resale values or quality.

We do not say whether any area floods. Elyson is in Harris County, and Katy-area officials told Community Impact in 2017 that most Katy flooding relates to areas to the north and the Cypress Creek watershed, though that article does not name Elyson. We did not confirm which watershed each section drains to. Look up the exact address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and Harris County Flood Control District tools, and ask for the seller's disclosure and any elevation certificate.

Perry Homes describes Elyson as about 3,600 acres with more than 750 acres of parks and open space; Highland Homes also cites 3,600 acres. These are builder figures, not a developer statement. Homesites run from 40' alley-load (Brookfield) to 70' (Perry) and 80' custom lots (Perry blog); Perry's blog names neighborhoods Elyson 45, 55, 65 and 70. The developer marks its tenth year in October 2026 and lists its Welcome Center at 7303 Prairie Lakeshore Lane, Katy 77493.

Brookfield lists 28 Elyson floor plans across 40' alley-load, 40', 45', 50' and 60' traditional collections, 1,594 to 3,808 sq ft; alley-load from $328,740 and traditional from $356,990. That is the association or developer’s own description, not a current price. Prices depend on section, builder, lot and updates; current listings are in the search on this page, and recent sales in the same section are the best guide.

Our research found one association that can apply to homes in Elyson: Elyson master association (legal name not found on an official page). We did not find a published assessment from an official source, so confirm the current amount with the association or the resale certificate. Deed restrictions typically govern exterior changes, fences, parking and similar items; read the declaration for the home’s section.

Recorded restrictions are also on file with the Harris County Clerk, and the state’s management certificate search shows the association’s registered manager and recorded documents. In a purchase, ask for the resale certificate and current governing documents early in the option period.

Main routes serving Elyson: Perry Homes places Elyson about 35 miles west of downtown Houston, just off the Grand Parkway and FM 529 (builder figure). We don’t quote drive times because they change with the hour and the exact street; test the drive at the times you would actually commute.

Pricing in Elyson should come from recent sales in the same section, adjusted for lot, size and updates. Expect the buyer to ask for a resale certificate from Elyson master association (legal name not found on an official page); ordering it early avoids delays. Because the home is in a utility or special district, Texas law requires a written district notice to the buyer, and a buyer comparing payments will look at the total tax rate. Have the seller’s disclosure, any repair receipts and, if you have one, an elevation certificate ready before you list.
