Will We Expand to San Antonio?
I like to joke that Katy development will grow all the way to San Antonio! Well…we are on our way. Trendmaker Development’s Cross Creek Ranch will be a huge master-planned community in Fulshear and Ryland Homes has just announced a new development, Willow Creek Farms, in Brookshire, five miles west of Katy Mills Mall.
Cross Creek Ranch will be one of the most phenomenal developments in the Katy area and will have a huge impact on area real estate. Cross Creek Ranch is unlike anything that has come to far-west Katy, technically Fulshear. I remember when Fulshear was a real country town and the only high-end development was Weston Lakes, a guard-gated development built around a natural waterway and a golf course/club house. There was a tiny grocery store and a famous bar-barbecue café that attracted Houstonians.
Cross Creek Ranch will incorporate 3,200 acres. There will be a southeastern Texas ranch architectural design in the common areas. With over 25 miles of trails along open space corridors, residents will be able to meander along the water’s edge of several hundred acres of lakes. Beautifully restored Flewellen Creek will be one of the centerpieces of the community.
Current home prices range from the $200,000′s to the $600,000′s. The first house recently sold and the owners moved in!
Directions from the Grand Parkway (Hwy 99) or Westpark Tollway: Take the FM 1093 exit and continue west approximately 5.6 miles to the entrance of Cross Creek Ranch. The community is located just west of FM 1463 on the north side of 1093.
Rumor has it that a mall will be coming to the Fulshear area, too. We need to wait and see how that one develops.
Information is still limited on Willow Creek Farm, the Brookshire development. Willow Creek Farms is Ryland’s newest community located in the highly acclaimed Katy ISD! Children in this community will attend Woodcreek Elementary/Junior High and Katy High School.
Houses range in price from $170,000′s to the $230,000′s.
The community is in close proximity to shopping, I-10, and easy access to the Grand Parkway. Willow Creek Farms will feature over 600 home sites with walking trails, a full Olympic style pool, recreational center, splash pad, and a park. The HOA dues will only be $450 annually.
Directions from I-10: Take I-10 past Hwy 99. Exit Pederson Road off I-10. Go left on Pederson. Community is off Pederson Road at 10023 Willowmoor Lane.
