About the Community
Katy sits on the western edge of the Houston metro — a fast-growing suburban community known for highly rated schools, affordable housing relative to comparable major metros, and easy access to everything Houston offers. Houston is the nation's fourth-largest city, carries no state income tax, and is home to the Texas Medical Center (the largest medical complex in the world), NASA's Johnson Space Center, all four major professional sports leagues, and one of the most culturally and culinarily diverse populations in the United States. Physicians relocating here gain big-city amenities with suburban livability and a cost-of-living profile that is difficult to match in comparable markets.
