Katy
Once a small farming community, the City of Katy is thriving as a result of the recent growth boom moving westward from the greater Houston area. Located just 20 minutes west of downtown Houston on Interstate 10, Katy residents enjoy convenient proximity to Houston’s world-class performing arts, museums, Galleria shopping and major league sports teams, while still preserving their small-town feel and sense of community.
Katy is home to several upscale divisions and developments. Along Fry and Mason Roads, these include Green Trails, Kelliwood and Nottingham. The popular master-planned community Cinco Ranch is one of the fastest growing areas in the region and boasts a private beach, swim lagoon, 18-hole golf course, multiple pools, parks and recreational facilities.
Well-known for its top-rated schools, high quality housing and a serene lifestyle, Katy is home to many oil and gas professionals working for companies in the thriving Energy Corridor. Just opened is the newest mall in the greater Houston area-Katy Mills.
One of the most outstanding aspects of life in Katy is the high level of community support and involvement in the award-winning Katy Independent School District. As a result, more than 7,000 parents, business professionals and community members volunteer in the schools. Texas Governor George W. Bush has cited Katy ISD as an example of America at its best.
Katy offers a wide variety of home styles and prices. The blending of big city amenities with small town atmosphere, pulls many home buyers out Interstate 10 to Katy.
