What Happened to the Trees in Katy?
Does it make you angry when a Katy developer comes through and randomly plows down all the trees in their way? Hardwoods, too, like fabulous old oaks. It breaks my heart. Profit is great but working alongside Mother Nature, creating a win-win is even better. These same developers boast about “being green” but the obvious is the obvious. How much “greener” can you get than a tree? Give me a break!
When I got the call to list 1022 Woodcreek Cove Lane in Woodcreek Reserve, I was thrilled! (Above is the view from the front door of my listing; it looks onto Buffalo Bayou and the neighborhood amenities.) The master-planned community of Woodcreek Reserve, a favorite of mine, is located just south of I-10 at FM 1463. This is the exit for the Leonard E. Merrell Center located on the north side of I-10.
As soon as you arrive at Woodcreek Reserve, you will be surprised by the trees. It’s the natural, park-like setting that makes Woodcreek Reserve so unique for the area. It is nothing like the surrounding developments where, unfortunately, most of the trees have been eliminated. The picturesque trees, waterfront properties, lakes and trails give Woodcreek Reserve its unique appeal.
Woodcreek Reserve boasts a wide variety of homes and prices ranging from the mid-$200,000 to over $1.5 million. Some of the prettiest homes face the wooded sections of Woodcreek Reserve; this includes resale homes, like my listing, and new construction estate homes.
Woodcreek Reserve has two Katy Independent School District (KISD) schools within it’s boundaries, Woodcreek Reserve Elementary and Woodcreek Reserve Junior High. KISD is an award-winning, highly touted school district with the performance scores to match.
