Community overview, amenities, location, builders, a neighborhood FAQ, and our editorial policy.
Sunrise Meadows is a residential community in Rosenberg/Richmond, Fort Bend County, Texas. It is zoned to Lamar Consolidated ISD, with Adriane Mathews Gray Elementary School serving the community. The neighborhood is governed by the Sunrise Meadow Property Owners Association. Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 162 provides water and wastewater service separately from the HOA.
What's the difference between the HOA and MUD 162?
They're separate organizations. The Sunrise Meadow Property Owners Association handles deed restrictions, assessments, common areas, amenities and architectural approval. Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 162 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.
How much of my property tax is the water district?
Fort Bend County MUD No. 162 charged $1.1200 per $100 of value for 2024 — $0.3050 to run the district and $0.8150 toward bond debt.
Nearly three-quarters of that rate is debt repayment rather than operations, which is what a relatively young district looks like: the water lines, sewer and drainage were financed before the houses were built, and the bonds are still being paid down.
For local context, an established neighborhood nearer Richmond sits around $0.60 because it has been retiring its bonds for decades. The difference on a $400,000 home is roughly $2,000 a year, and it is one of the larger swings between Fort Bend neighborhoods that never shows up in a listing comparison.
The debt share falls over time as bonds are retired. Rates are reset each autumn, so check the current year before relying on this figure.
Which schools would my children attend?
Adriane Mathews Gray Elementary School for pre-Kindergarten through grade 5, then James Steenbergen Middle School, Harry Wright Junior High, and Dr. Thomas E. Randle High School. All four hold a B on the state''s 2026 accountability ratings.
Something worth understanding if you are comparing neighborhoods in this part of Rosenberg: Steenbergen, Harry Wright and Randle serve several communities around here, so a number of neighborhoods share the same middle, junior high and high school. The elementary is usually the only school-level difference between them. Adriane Mathews Gray is the campus that actually distinguishes Sunrise Meadows from its neighbors — the rest of the path is shared.
Lamar CISD is among the fastest-growing districts in Texas and rezones regularly as new campuses open, so verify your exact address on the district''s own attendance lookup before relying on this for a particular house. Campus details and current ratings are on our schools page.
