Schools Serving Memorial Northwest

School assignments and attendance boundaries can change. Confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before making a housing decision.

Flood and Drainage Research for Memorial Northwest

Theiss Gully runs through the area. WCID 114's engineer reports that about 3 acres along Theiss Gully in Memorial Northwest Section 1 lie in the 100-year floodplain; that does not describe flood risk for any single house. Harris County WCID 114: about the district

Confirm the watershed for the address in HCFCD's mapping tool. In the nearby Cypress Creek watershed, Community Impact reported 8,750 homes flooded in Hurricane Harvey (2017); that is a watershed figure, not a Memorial Northwest count. Check the lot on FEMA's map and the draft MAAPnext maps. Community Impact: Cypress Creek buyouts three years after Harvey HCFCD: Cypress Creek watershed FEMA Flood Map Service Center

Flood zones are mapped parcel by parcel, and no guide can tell you whether a particular house has flooded or will flood. Ask the seller for the flood disclosure and any elevation certificate, and price flood insurance before your option period ends.

Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above

My take: Memorial Northwest gives you a real community center while its main water district, WCID 114, charged $0.21382 per $100 for 2025 with no debt. The work is in the paperwork: find the section number, read that section's restrictions, check whether the bill shows WCID 114 or MUD 24, and get the current dues in writing. If the lot backs to Theiss Gully, look at the flood maps before anything else.

You give up: Its MUD rates were $0.36 or $0.525 per $100 for 2025, well above WCID 114.
