Owners Tara and Neil Cruz said they have plans to open Turquoise Wine Bar in Cypress by August.

The details: The wine bar will boast a boutique wine bar with wine and beer sales, bottles to go and serve light food with live entertainment, tastings, wine education and wine travel all over the world.

Quote of note: “Just as important as what’s in the glass is how people feel when they walk through the door. We want this to be a space that’s warm, unpretentious, and a little bit unexpected, a place where someone can stop in for a quick pour, settle in for the evening, or discover something entirely new,” Tara Cruz said.

Greater Houston suburban areas such as Waller, Brookshire and Baytown are trending strong for home sales growth, according to the Houston Association of Realtors' latest Hottest Communities report for the first quarter of 2026.

At a glance: The Huffman area, east of Atascocita, tops the list with a 117.1% increase in home sales since the end of 2025, the report shows. Similarly, transactions in Brookshire, located west of Katy, more than doubled compared to the previous year, and the fast-growing Waller community saw a 99% jump in transactions.

Meyerland, Baytown and Magnolia also showed significant growth in transactions compared to last year. 

The cause: The communities are leading the rankings for home sales due to a combination of new construction and affordability, with seven of the top 10 reporting average home prices under the Houston-area average of $420,510, per an April 27 news release.

Also of note: As for luxury communities—where home prices exceed $1 million—the top-performing areas include Tanglewood, Bellaire and Memorial Villages, all of which are located just outside of Houston's Inner Loop.
