It is important to note that this is the opposite side of Katy Freeway from where the Jordan Ranch community is. This is an area where many commercial projects are in development.


Continued Growth Raises Concerns

More and more master-planned communities such as Jordan Ranch in Waller County are bringing more residents and commercial development to our area.



The Katy area is made up of Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties with a small part of Waller being in the actual Katy area. As Katy continues to expand, this is expected to change and local officials have already expressed concern with amenities and services being about to keep up.


Waller County is home to Lamar Consolidated ISD, which just surpassed Katy ISD as the fastest growing district in Texas. This is proof to the immense growth in the area.
