Katy

What Buyers Should Know

Katy is a fast-growing west Houston suburb centered on Katy ISD — one of the largest, top-ranked districts in Texas. The city straddles Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties along the Energy Corridor / I-10 commute. Estimated 2026 median home price near $405,000 means the TSAHC Heroes 115% AMI ceiling typically still fits dual-income teacher / first-responder households here. Most Katy buyers route through state-level TSAHC and TDHCA programs. The City of Houston HAP applies only inside Houston city limits and does not cover Katy. See Harris County guide for the full Harris-area program detail.
