Towne Lake is a charming new community located in the heart of Cypress Texas off of Hwy 290 and Barker Cypress. From the moment you enter the community and are greeted by waterfalls and large rock formations, you feel as if you have entered into the Texas Hill country with limestone architecture and native Texas landscaping. The 2400-acre community is designed around a huge lake system of several connected small lakes adding up to 350-acres of water, miles of connecting waterways, and 20 miles of shoreline. These lakes link the neighborhoods in Towne Lake and provides residents with water recreation and boating (up to 15 hp motors). For those with an interest in fishing, these lakes will be stocked.

In addition to beautiful new homes, the community features hiking and biking trails, waterfront shopping and dining, fitness and community centers and plans for a Towne Lake Center. The 5400 square foot recreation center provides a state-of-the-art fitness center, lagoon pool, playground, tennis courts, and banquet rooms.
