Where is Addicks–Park Ten? Zip codes & boundaries
The City of Houston’s own description puts Addicks–Park Ten “in the westernmost part of the City, north of Interstate 10.” It runs roughly from I-10 on the south up past Clay Road and toward FM 529, with SH-6, Eldridge Parkway, Barker Cypress and Greenhouse Road as the north–south spines and the Addicks Reservoir filling the middle and eastern side. At 15,030 acres — 23.5 square miles it is one of the largest super neighborhoods in the city, and most of that acreage is not built on.
The residential side is almost entirely 77084, the Bear Creek zip. 77094 covers the Park Ten side and the newer development near SH-6. At the edges it touches 77079 (Memorial West, south of I-10), 77095 (Copperfield), 77041 and 77449 (east Katy). All of them are Harris County.
Schools are the thing to check first here: Katy ISD and Cypress-Fairbanks ISD both reach into the area, and the City’s own profile lists a third district as well. The boundary genuinely moves street by street, so confirm the school zone for a specific address rather than for the subdivision.
Addicks or Park Ten: which part is which?
The two halves of the name are two different places, and buyers searching one often mean the other.
Addicks is the reservoir side — the Addicks Reservoir itself, a flood-control dam, plus the parkland wrapped around it. Cullen Park on Saums Road and Bear Creek Pioneers Park sit inside the reservoir footprint, and the City has developed the flood-prone land around it for recreation: a golf course, a wildlife sanctuary and soccer fields. The housing on this side is the Bear Creek subdivisions in 77084 — largely 1970s to 1990s single-family, on bigger lots and at lower prices per square foot than the Memorial villages a few miles east.
Park Ten is the strip between I-10 and the reservoir, and it is not residential at all. The City classifies it as office, commercial and light industrial — effectively the western spillover of the Energy Corridor. That is why the area’s population is modest relative to its size: roughly 9,000 people in two single-family subdivisions and several apartment complexes, against a super-neighborhood population the City counted at 19,683.
Practically: if you are buying a house, you are looking at 77084 and Bear Creek. If you are looking at Park Ten, you are looking at an office address.
The reservoir question — answer it before you make an offer
You cannot write honestly about this area without addressing Addicks. The reservoir is a dry dam: it is empty most of the time, which is why it doubles as parkland. It fills only during major rain events, and when it fills, the pool spreads across land that is dry the rest of the year.
During Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 the pool went past its design assumptions and homes both inside and around the reservoir footprint took water, some of it from controlled releases. That history is public, it is priced into parts of the market, and it is the single biggest thing to diligence here.
What that means in practice for a specific address: check whether it sits inside the reservoir’s flood pool, pull the current FEMA flood map and the flood-zone designation, ask for an elevation certificate, ask the seller directly about prior flooding and any claims, and price flood insurance before you are under contract rather than after. None of this makes the area a bad buy — the value per square foot is real and so is the parkland — but it is a buy that rewards doing the homework address by address. Ask Alan to pull that history for a property you are considering.
Who it suits
It suits Energy Corridor employees who want a short commute without Memorial pricing, buyers who want a larger lot and are willing to trade newness for space, and anyone who genuinely uses the outdoors — there are few places inside the city limits with this much contiguous park, trail and green space. It suits people less well if they want walkable retail, a single clean school district, or a flood story they never have to think about.

Addicks–Park Ten — frequently asked
Where is Addicks–Park Ten in Houston?
Addicks–Park Ten is the westernmost part of the City of Houston, north of Interstate 10, built around the Addicks Reservoir. The City of Houston recognises it as Super Neighborhood 9, in Council District A, covering 15,030 acres — about 23.5 square miles. SH-6, Eldridge Parkway, Barker Cypress and Greenhouse Road run through it north to south.
What zip code is Addicks–Park Ten?
The residential side is mostly 77084, the Bear Creek zip code, and 77094 covers the Park Ten side near SH-6. At the edges the area touches 77079, 77095, 77041 and 77449.
What county is 77084 in?
77084 is in Harris County. It covers Bear Creek and far west Houston north of I-10, and it is the main residential zip code for the Addicks–Park Ten area. Every zip code in and around Addicks–Park Ten — 77084, 77094, 77079, 77095, 77041 and 77449 — is Harris County.
Is Addicks–Park Ten the same as the Energy Corridor?
No, but they touch. The Energy Corridor is the office district along I-10, and Park Ten — the strip between I-10 and the reservoir — is effectively its western extension, zoned by the City as office, commercial and light industrial. Addicks–Park Ten as a whole is the larger area north of I-10 that also contains the reservoir and the Bear Creek housing.
Is Addicks–Park Ten inside the City of Houston?
Yes. It is one of the City’s designated super neighborhoods — number 9 — and falls in Council District A, so addresses here pay City of Houston property tax and receive city services. The City lists the super neighborhood’s civic status as inactive, which means there is no active super-neighborhood council, not that the area is outside the city.
Does Addicks–Park Ten flood?
Parts of it can. The Addicks Reservoir is a dry dam that sits empty most of the year and fills during major storms, and during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 the pool exceeded its design assumptions — homes inside and around the reservoir footprint took water, some from controlled releases. Risk varies enormously address by address. Before making an offer, check whether the property sits in the reservoir flood pool, pull the current FEMA flood map, ask for an elevation certificate, and get a flood insurance quote.
