Neighborhoods in 77048

South Acres and Crestmont Park

The City of Houston describes South Acres and Crestmont Park as a suburban area of south central Houston across Sims Bayou from Sunnyside, made up mostly of post-war single-family homes. The area was hard to reach until the South Freeway (Highway 288) opened in the early 1980s, followed by the Beltway. Today it offers some of the lowest prices in Houston for an established home. Crestmont Park and King Estates have their own neighborhood parks.

New-construction communities

Builders are active in 77048. Current listings include new homes in Park Vista at El Tesoro, Legacy Village, the gated Leon community, Webercrest Heights and Pineapple Square, where small two-bedroom homes are among the least expensive new homes in Houston. Bring your own agent to the builder: we represent you, not the builder, and it usually costs you nothing.

Taxes and Flood Risk

77048 is inside the City of Houston, whose tax rate is $0.5192 per $100 of value, plus HISD, Harris County and other taxing units. Ask whether a new-construction home is in a MUD, which adds to the tax rate. Sims Bayou runs along the north side of the zip, and the city notes that some homes near the bayou have flooded in the past. A $395 million federal flood project finished in 2015 widened the bayou, and the Harris County Flood Control District credits it with preventing damage to thousands of homes during Hurricane Harvey. Still, check the flood zone and flood history for every home. See our guide to flood zones and flood insurance.
