Historic Old Katy Downtown Core

1st St & Avenue A

The Historic Old Katy Downtown Core runs through 77493 where original railroad town bones meet steady infill development. From the preserved blocks of Historic Old Katy Townsite to the tree-lined streets of Heritage Park West and the established lots of Katyland, this pocket of Katy retains an architectural mix that rewards hands-on ownership.

Many properties here carry decades of character, and owners frequently replace their existing mortgage with a larger one that returns the difference in cash to fund renovations on older homes. If that’s the plan for a house here, 3e Lending can tell you what the equity supports before you call a contractor.

Cane Island Master-Planned District

Cane Island Pkwy & Franz Rd
