Community overview, amenities, location, builders, a neighborhood FAQ, and our editorial policy.
Walnut Creek is a residential community in Rosenberg/Richmond, Fort Bend County, Texas. It is zoned to Lamar Consolidated ISD. The neighborhood is governed by the Walnut Creek Community Association, Inc.. Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 152 (No. 184 in Walnut Creek at Stonecreek Estates) provides water and wastewater service separately from the HOA.
What's the difference between the HOA and MUD 152 / 184?
They're separate organizations. The Walnut Creek Community Association, Inc. handles deed restrictions, assessments, common areas, amenities and architectural approval. Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 152 (No. 184 in Walnut Creek at Stonecreek Estates) is a separate governmental district that provides water and wastewater service and bills for it. Water bill questions go to the MUD, not the HOA — and fence, paint and addition approvals go to the HOA, not the MUD.
Why does my neighbor pay a different tax rate than I do?
Because Walnut Creek sits across two different utility districts, and which one you are in depends on your section.
Most of the neighborhood is in Fort Bend County MUD No. 152, which charged $1.1300 per $100 for 2024. The Walnut Creek at Stonecreek Estates section sits in Fort Bend County MUD No. 184, which charged $1.4600.
That is a difference of 33 cents per $100 between two parts of the same neighborhood. On a $400,000 home it works out to roughly $1,300 a year — every year, for as long as you own the house.
Neither rate is wrong and neither district is mismanaged. They were created at different times with different amounts of bond debt, and MUD 184 carries the heavier load.
What this means practically: when you compare two Walnut Creek homes, the tax line is not a constant. Check which district the specific address falls in before you compare monthly payments, because a cheaper house in the higher district can cost more to hold. The district appears on the tax statement for the property.
Which high school would my children go to?
One of two, and this is the other place where Walnut Creek splits by section.
The neighborhood feeds both Dr. Thomas E. Randle High School, which holds a B on the state''s 2026 accountability ratings, and George Ranch High School, which holds an A.
The split runs all the way down. Two elementaries — Cora Thomas and Don Carter, both rated A. Four middle and junior high campuses between the sections: James Steenbergen Middle and Harry Wright Junior High on one side, Polly Ryon Middle and Antoinette Reading Junior High on the other.
Very few neighborhoods in Fort Bend County feed two high schools. It means two families on opposite sides of Walnut Creek can have children at different schools, with different ratings, different Friday night football and different school calendars.
Check the exact address against Lamar CISD''s own attendance lookup before you rely on any of this for a particular house — the district is among the fastest-growing in Texas and rezones regularly. Campus details and current ratings are on our schools page.
