Fresno Real Estate

The City of Fresno is making friends fast, with its prime location on State highway 6 and FM 521 due south of downtown Houston. Following growing residential interest in this largely undeveloped swath of Ft. Bend County, developers have recently built large bedroom communities over what was once forest and grassland. With the housing stock catching up with the desirability of Fresno's location, the area is drawing first time homeowners in record numbers. The demographics in the Fresno area have changed dramatically since the last US Census in 2000 due to a large increase in home building, and the area is now mostly made up of first time homeowners in the new housing communities.

As late as 1946 the Fresno population had barely peeked over 100, a level maintained throughout the 1960s; however, due to Houston's growing petro-chemical and shipping industry during the 70s and 80s the Fresno's population increased more rapidly. Today, Fresno, Texas has a population estimated at 6,603 and growing.

Fresno physically borders Houston to the north, the suburban Fort Bend County cities of Missouri City to the northwest and west, Arcola to the south and southeast and Pearland to the east and northeast. The diversity of the Fresno area is becoming one of its main draws. The median income for a family in the Fresno area was $48,824 in 2000, higher than the city of Houston overall.

Children in the Fresno area are served the Fort Bend Independent School District. High school students in Fresno attend Hightower High School in Missouri City, whose campus has a full-fledged media and medical academy, as well as the new district wide athletic complex, built in 2004.
