Barrington Park, Cinco Ranch: Everyday Convenience with a Cinco Ranch Rhythm
About Barrington Park
Barrington Park feels like the part of Cinco Ranch where errands, school drop-offs, and a quick coffee run all line up without a lot of windshield time. On a typical morning, it’s easy to picture neighbors swinging by Kroger, Sprouts Farmers Market, or H-E-B within about a mile, then looping back toward home with a stop at Kim's Tea House or a nearby Starbucks. When the Texas heat kicks up, Greenway Village Pool is close enough that pool days can be spontaneous instead of a production.
The neighborhood sits inside the well-established 77450 area of Cinco Ranch, and that “already dialed-in” feeling comes through in the surrounding school network and the density of day-to-day options. Families who plan their schedules around Katy ISD campuses are drawn to how close the big three are: Edna Mae Fielder EL is about 0.4 miles away, Cinco Ranch J H roughly 0.9 miles, and Cinco Ranch H S about 1.2 miles. With A ratings across these nearby campuses, the school conversation here is often about which programs and routines fit best, not whether the basics are solid.
Housing in this pocket reflects the broader Cinco Ranch pattern of owner-occupied stability, with the homeownership rate in the ZIP area at 66.0% owner-occupied and a neighborhood-level homeownership rate shown at 68.8%. That steadiness shows up in how well-traveled the same daily routes feel, from gym check-ins at Life Time to golf afternoons at The Golf Club at Cinco Ranch. The local pricing context also fits a move-up, long-term mindset, with a median home value in the area at $361,400.
Barrington Park’s surrounding scene isn’t just quiet residential blocks—it’s paired with a social strip of casual hangouts. Evenings can mean a low-key meet-up at Baker Street Pub and Grill, a quick round at World Of Beer, or grabbing a seat at Bar Louie, all within about a mile and a half. In practice, that mix attracts residents who want Cinco Ranch schools and routines, but also like having a handful of familiar “third places” close enough to keep life feeling connected.
Living in Barrington Park: Schools, Pools, and the 77450 Routine
Daily life in Barrington Park tends to run on practical Cinco Ranch convenience. Groceries are rarely a special trip when Kroger sits about 0.8 miles away and Sprouts Farmers Market and H-E-B are each around 0.9 miles. For bigger variety, Trader Joe’s is about 1.2 miles out, and 99 Ranch Market is roughly 1.6 miles away, which is a nice bonus for households that cook a wide range of cuisines. That kind of selection shapes how people actually live here—weeknight dinners can be planned around what’s fresh at Sprouts, with a back-up run to H-E-B that doesn’t derail the evening.
Fitness and outdoor time are part of the neighborhood’s rhythm, especially in warm months. Greenway Village Pool is about 0.3 miles away, which makes it realistic to pop over after school rather than scheduling around it.

With a median household income of $106,402 and per capita income of $49,521, households here often balance housing decisions with commute patterns—most workers drive alone, at 68.8%, so the default is still the car even when many conveniences are close.

What is the cost of living in Barrington Park?
A full cost-of-living breakdown for Barrington Park requires both tax rates and a regional price index, but only the county property tax rate was provided here. In Harris County, the county property tax rate is $0.3810 per $100 of valuation, which is about 0.381% of a home’s assessed value for the county portion alone. School district, city, and any special district rates weren’t provided, so it wouldn’t be accurate to estimate a combined total tax rate for a Barrington Park home from this dataset. Cost-of-living indices such as the BEA Regional Price Parity (RPP) numbers also weren’t provided, so there’s no way to state whether overall prices, housing, goods, or utilities are above or below the U.S. average using the required index where 100 equals the national benchmark. What can be said from the local figures is that housing costs in the area reflect a median home value of $361,400 and a median gross rent of $1,746 per month, which places the neighborhood in a move-up suburban price bracket for the Cinco Ranch area. As with the rest of Texas, residents benefit from no state income tax, which can meaningfully affect the overall household budget even when property taxes are a major line item.
