Location, Location, Location...   Located just west of Houston in what used to be rice fields and graising land Katy has become the place to be, voted #1 fastest growing Suburb in the Nation in 2010.

With the Oil Corridor located just before you enter the Katy area at I-10 and Hwy 6 the demand for housing has grown at an amazing rate since the 80's.  I remember back in the early 80's we lived in Cypress and would drive on country road to get to Mason and I-10 to eat seafood, today it's hard to imagine this booming area has changes so much in such a short time.  We bought our first house in Katy in 1997 and you would still see coyotes crossing the road on Kingsland.

Since 2000 there have been 4 new hospitals built here in Katy and 2 more scheduled.  Katy is fast becoming a west side medical center with more Dr's offices and clinics opening.  This has increased the demand for housing as well.

For the most part prices of real estate here are based on Schools, drive time to work and amenities.  Katy has some of the highest rated schools in the state, fairly close to Down Town and if you don't work down town you can get everything you need right here without driving more than 10 min.  Thus we have a higher demand and better resale than other areas around Houston.

For the most bang for the buck when buying look where others are not!!  But remember when you get ready to sell your house may be on the market longer and not bring as high of a return as an area that is in higher demand.
 
Come take a look and see for yourself, Katy is the place to be.
