City Information


Jersey Village
A note from Justin Ray, Jersey Village Mayor


As mayor of the city of Jersey Village, it is my privilege to invite you to come take a look at our community. Jersey Village is a hidden gem conveniently located at the intersection of Beltway 8 and Hwy. 290, providing easy access to downtown Houston, the Galleria and the Energy Corridor. For commuters who have made it only halfway home on Hwy. 290 at the Beltway, Jersey Village offers the desired neighborhood amenities without the gridlock.

What if I told you Jersey Village residents have their own police, fire, EMT and public works departments? The safety, security and services provided by those departments is second to none. How about an 18-hole golf course, walking trails, a neighborhood pool and multiple parks? If the amenities are not enough, how about extra large lots, mature trees, sidewalks and Cy-Fair ISD schools?

Northwest Harris County is one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. Even with such explosive population growth, Jersey Village still retains the charm of a small-town environment. I encourage you to stop by, visit the parks, take in a meal at a local restaurant and see what this small town in a big city has to offer.
