Relocating To Houston...Consider Katy Texas!
Houston is a great city. The 4th largest city in the U.S. You have great theatre, wonderful sports options (professional baseball, football, basketball, and semi-pro hockey) new stadiums like Minute Maid Park, the Toyota Center, and Reliant Stadium. Lots of great restaurants (especially if you like steak, Mexican food, or BBQ).
If you like the big city near by...but want to live in a family area that has great schools, lot of medical options, accessibility to the hill country, the Gulf of Mexico, and of course all Houston has to offer...you need to take a long look at Katy!
Located about 15 miles west of Houston off I-10, Katy is near the Houston Energy Corridor and many of the residents of Katy work for some of the largest energy companies in the world. BP, ConocoPhillips, and Shell Oil are just some of the companies that call the energy corridor home. It has also been recently announced that KBR is moving its headquarters to Katy and will locate, on 80 acres, its 4500 or so employees. (at the corner of I-10 and the Grand Parkway).
Katy is most well known for two things:
1. The top football team in the State of Texas! Katy High School has won the Texas State Championship 4 out of the last 11 years!
2. The KISD School District. KISD is one of the finest school districts in Texas and many of the Oil executives, upon hearing they will be relocating to Houston will soon find out about the award winning schools of the KatyISD!
3. Top Medical Facilities. Katy has become known as Med-Center West in Houston. It already has two new hospitals...with three more to be built. Along with Memorial Herman and Christus St Catherine, Methodist, St Lukes, and Texas Children's Hospitals are in the process of construction. Many additional medical complexes are under construction to support this growth.
If you are looking for a great family atmosphere with lots of options for kids, families, seniors, shopping, and of course food...put Katy on your list!
