Ok I’ll give you 5 real reasons: 1. Katy is 1.5 hours from Houston in afternoon traffic. 2. Katy has some of the highest property taxes and insurance rates in the nation. 3. Many areas are prone to flooding. 4. The weather rarely drops below 90 degrees & 90 percent humidity June-September. 5. North of I-10 and east of Fry Rd the crime rate is really high. I can go on, but that was 5.

Hi @rodn9077. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your detailed feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to provide your insights. Here are some thoughts on the points you raised: 1. Traffic to Houston: You're right, commuting from Katy to Houston during afternoon peak time traffic can take between 1 and 1.5 hours. This is a common issue for many suburbs around major cities. However, many residents find the trade-off worthwhile for the quality of life and amenities Katy offers. 2. Property Taxes and Insurance Rates: It's true that Katy has higher property taxes and insurance rates compared to some other areas. This is partly because Texas doesn't have a state income tax, so property taxes are a primary source of funding for public services, including our high-quality schools and community services. 3. Flooding: Some areas of Katy are prone to flooding, especially during heavy rains and hurricanes. The city has been actively working on improving its flood management systems and infrastructure to mitigate these risks. 4. Weather: Summers in Katy can be quite hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 90 degrees and high humidity levels from June to September. According to weather-and-climate.com, the most humid month in Katy has an average humidity of around 77%. 5. Crime Rate: While some neighborhoods north of I-10 and east of Fry Road have higher crime rates, overall, Katy is considered safer than 84% of U.S. cities according to crimegrade.org. As with any area, it’s important to research specific neighborhoods when considering a move. Every place has its pros and cons, and while Katy has its challenges, it also offers many benefits that make it a great place to live for many people. Thanks again for your valuable feedback and for being part of this conversation!

I live in Houston and I've heard katy is nice. I've only been there once or twice. It is quite a distance west of Houston, via a busy freeway (Interstate 10), and traffic to and from Houston is ALWAYS bad. I dated a lady who lived in katy, and she was late EVERY time she had to come to Houston.

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. I definitely don't enjoy the traffic when I have to head towards Houston during peak time, but I'm fortunate not to have to do that often. But I have to agree that it is a very nice city. We're in our 6th year here and still loving it.

Thank you for the video. how about the Fulshear? especially tamarron community, young ranch and jordan ranch? I would like to receive your precious opinion. Thank U ^^

[@macpropertygroup]

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. You should check out my video on Pecan Ridge which is located in Fulshear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6uwo2CFob2jrJYsi=B4nZ1-MJIdj7Y0r7 I do talk about the city itself in this video. I'm also working on a pros and cons about Fulshear and some other cities that should be out next week. However, Fulshear has some of the same concerns as Katy. There are a couple of unique concerns that I talk about in the upcoming video, so look out for that one. As for the subdivisions you mentioned each has its pros and cons. Jordan Ranch and Tamarron are newer, Young Ranch is more established. I would need an essay to comment on the 3. Feel free to reach out to me at 832-708-9879 to get my thoughts on these communities. Thanks.
