- A lower MUD rateHarris County MUD 360 adopted $0.2950 per $100 for 2025, well below many newer Cypress districts.21

The Bad
- Harvey flooded homes hereCommunity Impact reported more than 100 Longwood Village homes flooded in Hurricane Harvey (2017).7
- Late-1990s homesHAR's 2025 median year built is 1997, so many homes have original roofs, windows and HVAC.1
- Projects are not finishedThe detention basin and channel work on Little Cypress Creek are still being planned; flood maps change only when they are updated.45
- Dues are not publishedThe association's assessment is not online; get the resale certificate early in the option period.1
- Golf terms come from the clubThe club's membership and fees are set by the club, not the association.3
The Reality
- Michael’s bottom lineLongwood Village makes sense if you want an established Cypress neighborhood with a golf course and a lower MUD rate than the newer plans. I would read the flood history closely: ask the seller about Harvey, check the lot on FEMA and MAAPnext, and treat the HCFCD projects as progress, not a promise. Budget for updating a home from the late 1990s.

Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Longwood Village makes sense if you want an established Cypress neighborhood with a golf course and a lower MUD rate than the newer plans. I would read the flood history closely: ask the seller about Harvey, check the lot on FEMA and MAAPnext, and treat the HCFCD projects as progress, not a promise. Budget for updating a home from the late 1990s.
