Fully Remodeled Home with Private Pool in Houston's Energy Corridor — 903 Daria Drive

Written by Gabrielle Strout, luxury realtor in Cypress, TX

Is there a move-in ready home for sale near the Energy Corridor in Houston?

Yes — 903 Daria Drive in the Fleetwood subdivision offers a fully remodeled 4-bedroom, 4,567 sq ft home with a private pool, hardwood floors, and no carpet, priced and positioned for buyers who want to move in and not touch a thing.

If you're relocating to Houston for work — or you've been searching the Energy Corridor market for a home that's actually done — this is the one worth stopping for.

903 Daria Drive sits on a quiet street in the Fleetwood subdivision of west Houston, zip code 77079. It's fully remodeled, not "freshly painted and called updated." We're talking hardwood floors upstairs, a fresh neutral tile downstairs, zero carpet, a completely renovated interior, and a private pool in the backyard. For buyers who've been touring homes that need work, the difference is immediate.

The Energy Corridor is one of Houston's most in-demand areas for professional relocators — and homes at this condition level, at this size, on a quiet street don't sit. Here's what makes this one worth a closer look.

4,567 Square Feet, Completely Remodeled

At 4,567 square feet, this isn't a home you outgrow. The layout includes four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a gameroom, and a balcony — giving you the space to work from home, host, and still carve out private space for everyone.

What sets it apart from other large homes in the area is the condition. The remodel is thorough: hardwood floors and tile replace carpet throughout the entire home, finishes are current, and the systems have been addressed. You're not inheriting a project — you're inheriting someone else's investment in a fully finished product.

The central vacuum system is one of those features that sounds minor until you live in a 4,500+ square foot home and realize how much it changes daily life.

Private Pool, Side Yard, and Balcony

Outdoor space is where this home earns its price. The private pool anchors the backyard, and the side yard gives you a rare buffer and secret garden that most homes on similarly sized lots in the Energy Corridor simply don't have.

The balcony adds another dimension — morning coffee, evening wind-down, or just a way to extend your living space upward. In Houston's climate, having multiple outdoor options matters more than buyers sometimes realize until they're living in the home.

A Quiet Street in Fleetwood — With Energy Corridor Access

Fleetwood is a well-established subdivision in the 77079 zip code, and Daria Drive specifically is a quiet interior street — not a cut-through, not a feeder road. That matters in this area, where some neighborhoods face significant traffic noise from Memorial Dr.

From this address, you're minutes from the major employers concentrated along Interstate 10 in the Energy Corridor: Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Wood Group, and dozens of energy sector companies that draw professionals from around the world. If you're relocating from overseas or from another U.S. city for an energy industry role, the commute here is as direct as it gets in Houston.

The neighborhood is zoned to Katy ISD — one of the most recognized school districts in the Houston metro.

Why International and Expat Buyers Should Pay Attention

Houston's Energy Corridor is the hub of the global energy industry in the United States. If you're relocating from London, Amsterdam, Dubai, Calgary, or anywhere else in the world for a position in the energy sector, the 77079 zip code puts you closest to where you're going every morning.

Compared to international cities, Houston offers exceptional space per dollar. A fully remodeled 4,567 square foot home with a private pool on a quiet residential street — in the neighborhood closest to your office — would cost multiples of this price in London or Singapore. The value equation here is real.

The Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR) tracks this market closely, and homes in this condition and location in the Energy Corridor consistently attract strong interest from relocation buyers. Move-in ready homes at this size and finish level are a short window.

What "Fully Remodeled" Actually Means Here

The real estate market uses "updated" loosely. This home earns the word "remodeled":

• Hardwood floors and tile throughout - no carpet anywhere in the home
• Complete interior renovation - not cosmetic refreshes
• Private pool - not a shared community amenity
• Central vacuum system - a whole-home infrastructure feature
• Balcony - architectural detail, not a builder afterthought
• Side yard - meaningful additional outdoor space

For a buyer relocating from out of state or internationally, "move-in ready" means something specific: you unpack, you live. This home delivers that.

FAQ

Is the Energy Corridor a good place to live in Houston?

Yes — the Energy Corridor in west Houston (centered around the 77079 and 77077 zip codes) is one of the city's most established professional neighborhoods. It offers proximity to major energy sector employers along I-10, access to Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou, and a range of well-maintained residential neighborhoods. It's a strong choice for professionals and families looking for a central, walkable-to-work lifestyle in a city that's otherwise very car-dependent.

What is it like to buy a home in Houston as an expat or international buyer?

Houston is one of the most expat-friendly cities in the United States, particularly for energy industry professionals. The buying process is accessible to foreign nationals, and the Energy Corridor specifically has strong infrastructure for international relocators — including multilingual services, international schools, and a well-established expat community. Working with a local Energy Corridor REALTOR® familiar with international transactions makes the process significantly smoother. 

How long do move-in ready homes in the Energy Corridor stay on the market?

Well-priced, move-in ready homes in the Energy Corridor and Fleetwood area typically attract offers quickly — especially properties that are fully remodeled at this size. According to HAR market data, quality inventory in the 77079 zip code tends to move faster than the broader Houston average. If a home fits your criteria, waiting carries real risk in this submarket.
