Katy is 30 miles west of downtown Houston and offers all the convenience of a city in a traditional family environment. Although its population is around 14,000, Katy is close to a wealth of shopping, dining, education and family entertainment, including Katy Mills Mall, the 3rd largest shopping center in the Houston area. And Katy real estate is among the best the Houston area has to offer.
Top Education System
It's no surprise that Katy's residents are highly educated. Katy features one of the nation's top public school systems. It's one of the fastest growing ones, too, with projected enrollment of over 60,000 by 2010. Armed with a degree from one of Katy's fine high schools, students can continue their education nearby at Houston Community College (2-year degree), or the University of Houston at Cinco Ranch (bachelor and graduate degrees). Katy's residents have significantly higher rates of bachelors and graduate degrees than the state average.
Transportation
Running from Katy are two major transportation systems: the Katy Freeway (I-10 West) and the Westpark Tollway. The Katy Freeway reconstruction and expansion is under way. When complete, this transportation cooridor will combine freeway lanes, toll lanes, and high occupancy lanes for carpooling, vanpooling and buses. The Westpark Tollway, running from 20 miles from Katy to the 610 Loop, gives Katy residents easy access to the Beltway 8, I-59, Westchase District, and the Galleria area. |
