Hi from Katy. When I moved to Katy, it was still semi-rural which was exactly what I wanted. I have never liked living in "cities" but that is where the jobs are so Katy was the perfect balance. Katy has grown by leaps and bounds in the past 5 years to the point that it has become a congested city. I came across an older man on my walk around the lake behind my home and he asked me "what happened to Katy"? He told me that when he moved here there was one feed store and one donkey and he had the donkey. One issue that I did not hear you mention is Katy sits on 3 counties (Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller). Taxes are largely dependent on which county you live in. Additionally, taxes are higher if your home is in an Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction ( ETJ ). These are buffer zones outside the city limits. In my case, I am in an ETJ between Houston and Katy. As a result, I do not vote in either Houston or Katy elections. Nor do I have any city services and to make matters worse, taxes are much higher than if I were within either Katy or Houston city limits. In short, living in an ETJ affords homeowners less rights and protections.

If Houston keeps expanding like this, Austin will be a suburb. Same thing has been going on in the DFW area. I remember when I used to think Cinco Ranch was waaay out there and Fulshear was just outside the orbit of Pluto. I'm thinking about moving back to Houston after 20+ years in a year or so (probably to the Fulshear/Cypress area or thereabouts), so these vids are pretty interesting to watch to see what's going on where out there. Thanks!

Californians? I just moved back to the Houston area. Used to live in Houston proper, then Katy, now I am moving back to Fulshear. The PNW is downright unaffordable. We are getting squeezed everywhere (interest rates and inflation).

I remember as recently as 2010, Katy was seen as a way out there suburb, with not much out there besides the Katy Mills Mall, and Fulshear was incredibly far away. I can go even further back to the 90s and even 80s....Katy was seen as the first sign of civilization before you got to Houston.

We bought our house in Old Town Katy back in 2013. Buffalo bayou runs right behind our house and back then on the other side of the bayou was cow pasture enclosed by a barb wire fence. We used to sit on the back porch and watch the sun set over fields of cows. It was awesome. Now the cows have been moved, the fence is gone and the only thing you can see from our porch is the falls at green meadows and cane island. It sucks. What’s happening to fulshear right now is tragic. I feel for the people who grew up there and are being driven out of their homes by ever rising property taxes.

It used to be nice, i was there from 2010-2017. Those were the last of the decent times. After hurricane Harvey, I was done. Left the area and never looked back. It was fun while it lasted. It got too crowded and ghetto too fast....its just another piece of Houston now....never-ending asphalt and concrete.....and that katy freeway, geezuz....traffic, traffic, TRAFFIC.....as early as 5am....ridiculous. Nevermind the cost, its the quality of life that tanked....

What can you say about Richmond and Rosenberg?

@livinginhouston 7 ай бұрын

Richmond is also nice with newer home options and neighborhoods. Same for Rosenberg, it just feels really far out there compared to some of the other suburbs.

@badashcoupe1977 7 ай бұрын

Taxes are the factor. In Richmond you can get way more bang for your buck in the acreage community’s. We left cross creek ranch because of the 3.2% taxes.lists of people are leaving the MUD tax districts.

They should just build rail from Austin downtown to Houston Downtown and get it over with. We are just going to keep moving West.

Probably the Southwest is getting reclaimed. I hear it is like this across the board in Arizona, California, and other states...even New York now. The PNW not so much but it is hella expensive to live up there, six figures or not.
