From its roots as a small farming community, Katy has grown and matured into a balanced community that offers a variety of upscale subdivisions.  Many commuters to the Energy Corridor along Interstate 10 or the Katy Freeway have settled into this welcoming and attractive city.  Spacious homes that offer up to 5,000 square feet of living space are common, and even smaller residences provide an exceptional value for the housing dollar.  Cinco Ranch is one of the more popular of the residential villages in the Katy area.  This master-planned community is one of the region's fastest growing, known for its good schools, quality housing, and serene lifestyle.
