The four builders at Midline

Midline is the community. These four independent builders build the homes inside it. Each has its own plans, standard features and price points. We work with all four, so the question we help you answer is which one fits you, not which one is best.

Brookfield Residential

Starting from
low $400s
Home sizes
1,500 to 3,800 sq ft

Highland Homes

Starting from
low $400s
Home sizes
1,800 to 2,900 sq ft

Perry Homes

Starting from
mid $500s
Home sizes
2,400 to 3,300 sq ft

Toll Brothers

Starting from
high $600s
Home sizes
3,400 to 4,800 sq ft

All four build on lot widths of 40 to 70 feet. Starting prices exclude lot premiums, structural options and design center selections. Figures are from public sources and change often, so ask us for current pricing on the plan you are considering.

What it costs to hold, not just to buy

MUD tax, HOA dues and flood zone are the three questions buyers ask us most about Midline, and the three a sales office is least likely to lead with. Here is what the public record actually says, including the one we could not answer and why.

MUD tax

Baybrook MUD No. 1, $1.110 per $100

Most of Midline sits inside Baybrook Municipal Utility District No. 1, an 884 acre district at I-45 and Bay Area Boulevard. Its tax rate has been $1.110 per $100 of assessed value in every year from 2020 through 2025. On a $500,000 assessment that is about $5,550 a year, on top of county and school taxes.

Not every Midline lot is in it. The district's own 2025 bond documents expect roughly 1,761 of about 2,868 planned Midline homes to be inside its boundaries, so the rate depends on which lot you buy.

The whole tax bill

$2.687689 per $100 in 2024

That is every jurisdiction added together for property inside the district: Clear Creek ISD at $0.969, the MUD at $1.110, Harris County at $0.385290, the Hospital District at $0.163480, the Flood Control District at $0.048970, the Port of Houston at $0.006150 and the County Department of Education at $0.004799.

The MUD is the line people ask about, but the school district and the MUD together are more than three quarters of it. Rates are set annually by each jurisdiction and none of them is fixed.

HOA

The dues are not public. The closing fees are

The association is Midline Master Residential Community, Inc., managed by Cohere Life. Its management certificate, recorded in Harris County in August 2026, does not state an annual assessment, and neither the community nor the builders publish one. What the certificate does state is what a buyer pays the association at closing: a $375 document fee, a $175 transfer fee, a $50 third-party disclosure processing fee, a one-time working capital assessment equal to three months of regular assessments, and a community enhancement fee calculated from the sale price.

So the dues figure has to come from the builder or the association in writing, and the working capital assessment cannot be worked out at all until you know the dues. Ask for both together.

Flood

Zone X at the Welcome Center, and not everywhere nearby

FEMA's current flood map puts the Midline Welcome Center in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. Within about a mile of it the same map also carries Zone AE and a regulatory floodway, following the drainage: the district lies in the Clear Creek watershed and drains through Harris County Flood Control District Ditch A111-00-00 into Clear Creek.

Flood zone is a per-lot fact, not a per-community one, and lender flood insurance requirements follow the lot. Get the determination for the specific lot before you go under contract.

Sources, September 2026: the Baybrook Municipal Utility District No. 1 official statement dated 27 May 2025 for the overlapping tax rates, district boundary and drainage; the Harris County Tax Office's Truth in Taxation summary for the district's own adopted rate; the recorded management certificate for Midline Master Residential Community, Inc., filed in Harris County on 20 August 2026, for the association fees; and FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for the flood zone. Tax rates are reset every year by each jurisdiction and flood maps are revised, so treat all of it as current to that date and ask us to confirm anything you are about to rely on.

Common Questions

Midline Questions

What buyers ask about Midline in Webster, Texas.

Community facts, builders, schools and the questions a sales office will not usually lead with.

The community

Where is Midline?

Midline is in Webster, Texas, at I-45 South and Bay Area Boulevard, roughly five miles from NASA's Johnson Space Center. The community is named for its midpoint position on I-45 between Houston and Galveston. The Welcome Center is at 18118 Midline Landing Trail, Webster, TX 77598.

How big is Midline?

It is a 1,066 acre master-planned community developed by Brookfield Residential in partnership with CDC Houston, planned for about 2,800 homes at full buildout. The first phase is roughly 300 homes. Because buildout runs over many years, the community will be under construction for some time after the first residents move in.

What schools serve Midline?

Midline is within Clear Creek ISD. School assignments can change as a community is built out and as the district adjusts attendance boundaries, so confirm the current assignment for a specific lot before you rely on it.

What amenities are planned?

Plans include creative parks, a signature trail forming part of a 14 mile trail system, and The Midline Club with a pool, splash pad and co-working space. The Midline Club is scheduled to open in summer 2027, so early buyers should plan on the amenity center arriving after they move in.

Builders and cost

Who builds at Midline?

Four independent builders: Brookfield Residential, Highland Homes, Perry Homes and Toll Brothers. Midline itself is the community rather than the builder. Each builder has its own plans, standard features and pricing, and each of their on-site agents represents that builder. We work with all four.

Which builder should I choose?

That depends on your budget, the square footage you need and the layout and finish style you prefer. All four are established builders. We walk you through the differences in plans, standard features and lot fit so you can decide, rather than deciding for you.

What do homes cost at Midline?

Published starting prices run from the low $400s through the high $600s and above depending on builder, with reporting on the first phase ranging into the $800s and the community citing homes above $1M. Starting prices exclude lot premiums, structural options and design center selections, so ask us for a realistic all-in number for the plan you like.

What is the MUD tax rate at Midline?

Most of Midline is in Baybrook Municipal Utility District No. 1, which has levied $1.110 per $100 of assessed value in every year from 2020 through 2025. Added to Clear Creek ISD, Harris County and the smaller county jurisdictions, the 2024 total for property inside the district was $2.687689 per $100. Not every Midline lot is inside that district, so ask us to confirm the rate for the specific lot before you price a payment.

What are the HOA dues at Midline?

Nobody publishes them. The association is Midline Master Residential Community, Inc., managed by Cohere Life, and its recorded management certificate does not state an annual assessment. It does state what you pay the association at closing: a $375 document fee, a $175 transfer fee, a $50 third-party disclosure processing fee, a one-time working capital assessment equal to three months of dues, and a community enhancement fee based on the sale price. We get the dues figure in writing from the builder or the association, because the working capital assessment cannot be calculated without it.

Is Midline in a flood zone?

FEMA's current map puts the Midline Welcome Center in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. Zone AE and a regulatory floodway appear within about a mile, along the drainage into Clear Creek. Flood zone is decided lot by lot rather than community wide, and your lender's insurance requirement follows the lot, so we pull the determination for the specific lot before you go under contract.

Working with us

Are you the Midline sales office?

No. RESC Realty Group is an independent real estate team registered as cooperating agents with the builders at Midline. We are not Brookfield Residential, CDC Houston, or the community's own sales staff. We represent buyers.

When should I contact you?

Before your first visit to the Welcome Center or any model home. Builder co-op programs generally require your agent to register or accompany you on that first visit, and it usually cannot be applied afterwards. One message before you go protects your representation.
