Brazos River (Plotting the Neighborhood for Flood Concerns)

Sugar Land Texas Flood Zones

Flooding is a potential hazard in Sugar Land Texas and it has to be taken into consideration. The area is nearest to the Brazos River. It has an elevation of only 100ft making it most prone to flooding. Typical areas are Riverstone Sugar Land (Millwood, Sweetbriar, Falling Brian Ln in Riverstone, The Orchard, Lost Creek. and Shadow Glen) and Sienna Plantation (Sienna Village of Waters Lake, and on the Southeast side in Sienna Point’s new section). There are also many neighborhood lakes (and Oyster Creek) that run through Sugar Land Texas and could serve as potential flood hazards. On the contrary, there is a vast levee system in most of Sugar Land’s communities. Flooding is definitely controlled. Additionally, for the reasons that chances of flooding are very slim, most of the homes here DO NOT really require flood insurance. However, it is best to obtain a recent survey and flood certificate.

** Homes zoned to Levee Improvement District #19 are prone to flooding.
