According to Opendoor.com, the number one most desirable zip code for homebuyers is in Clarksville, Tennessee; while the number two most desirable zip code is in Leander, Texas. Want to guess what the number three zip code is? 77494-- right here in Katy!
Here is what Opendoor had to say about our community: “Relative to the rest of the country, with nice weather and no state income taxes, Texas is a hot market right now, attracting not only new residents from out of state, but also big companies that are relocating their campuses,” says Sharon Brown, Opendoor’s general manager in Dallas-Fort Worth. Chris Westrom, Opendoor’s senior general manager in Austin, says "Katy’s highly regarded schools, access to major employment centers, and abundance of parks help make it a sought-after destination for homebuyers." He also mentions Katy’s wealth of dining and shopping options, including Katy Mills. "The recently completed I-10 expansion makes the commute from Katy to downtown Houston a breeze, and you can generally make the trip within a half-hour."
It's a fact that the population of Katy climbed 55 percent from 2010 to 2020. that growth included Forza's Director of Operations and Marketing, who moved here in 2021 to be closer to her parents and sister, who moved to Katy in 2005 and 2006.
