Katy is one of the first choices for professional families in the Houston area. Schools are mostly Exemplary, houses are large and relatively cheap to buy and rent ($2000 per month would get you a generous 4 bed 2.5 bath). This is not a place for the Wild Child looking for nightlife though - almost everyone has kids and pets and drives a minivan or multi person SUV! It's family central! For a family though you can't go wrong. Great neighborhoods, safe and friendly, multi cultural and so many restaurants a common saying is "You can eat out every night for a month at a different place!" Two easy 'Park and Ride' sites and a couple of fast routes into the city make it the perfect 'burb. Come to Katy - you won't be sorry!
