philo dough wouldn't know his grammar from his third cousin, let alone have a salient response to a real question. You do realize you spelled you name improperly, right? It's "filo" or "fillo" or "phyllo" not "philo" dough.

Just sayin'...

Currently, Katy doesn't offer much in regards to retail, dining and entertainment, when compared to Houston and the inner city area. Most of the restaurants are chains and pretty mediocre. Most of retail here is cookie cutter. But, because of Katy's fast growth, there are a lot of new plans going up that should fill this void in the next year or two.

With that said, I feel that Katy has some of the best neighborhoods in the Houston and surrounding areas. Of course, this is bias since I live here, but I feel that it will be pretty hard to beat what Katy has to offer for suburban living. The master planned communities offer families some of the best amenities available that I have seen. Amazing parks, water parks, hiking trails, and 'city center' themed shopping are what I feel attract most people in my area (Katy). I hate to sound like a marketing billboard, but the landscaping when driving through the Katy suburbs is OUTSTANDING. It's not uncommon to see people out-and-about running or walking with their families, enjoying the scenery, despite the prairie-like terrain that is native to Katy. If you have the chance to drive through Cinco Ranch Blvd, you'll understand what I mean.

Also, for us, it's the quicker access to anything west of us, e.g., Fulshear, Gruene, Austin, and all of those other great Hill Country towns. I lived in the city for quite some time prior to moving to Katy. Both have their negatives and positives, but for us, Katy has a simple and somewhat quiet living environment. We don't feel like we are in the hustle and bustle of the city. For us, this was most important, as we both have stressful jobs, and driving home every day to a peaceful and serene atmosphere really took a load off for us. Our quality of life has really improved since we moved here a year ago.

I love what Houston and the inner loop have to offer, but going into my late 30's, it's no longer compatible with my lifestyle as a place of permanent residence. It's great for a night out on the town though

Good luck with your search.

Now THAT'S a useful response. What I know about Katy can be summed up by saying I goose hunt out there and have eaten at the Kountry Kitchen and Landry's.

Please, Katy ain't changing its ways anytime soon. The shopping is always going to comprise of generic chains, same with
the restaurants, meaning its going to suck. Houston is one giant suburb so you can definitely get the quiet tranquil nature in the inner loop and especially inside the beltway.

Houston as a giant suburb is laughable. I mean, I actually laughed at that. If you're referring to the abundance of pocket communities, butted up to dilapidated apartment buildings, tied in between massive retail outlets, vast stretches of highways, and the never ending strips of business plazas gluing these tenacious structures together, then your definition of Houston being a giant suburb is extremely laughable.

KT seems to be the next Fort Worth. North + South + Katy-town = (has) 250,000 people and growing!

If that Houston Press article is true and the Barker Dam collapses and washes out the affluent Memorial/Tanglewood/River Oaks areas, everything will be re-centered on the opposite side of the reservoirs here in Katy.
