Idk about the neighborhoods, but I'd have to also say Coventry builds a better home.

We built with Coventry in Firethorne and are happy with our home and the neighborhood. Firethorne is very nice neighborhood, is less expensive than Cinco NW, and has (slightly) easier access to I-10 (both neighborhoods are zoned to excellent elementary and junior highs). You can probably get a house on a 70' lot in Firethorne for a comparable price to a house on a 60' lot in Cinco NW.
I also think that the houses in Firethorne (esp. in the 70 and 80 foot section) are better spaced out than homes in Cinco/Cross Creek--many of the lots are deeper, the set-back from the street is deeper, and the builder mix offers more single story homes...I feel I have more room to breathe. Overall, both Perry and Coventry are good (I noticed that many Katy builders use the same subcontractors anyway). I would recommend hiring a 3rd party inspector whichever way you go...Coventry was very good at correcting any/all issues our 3rd party inspector noticed.

If I were given those two choices, I would go with Cinco. Cinco is really well known, when we were looking at homes from California that is the first subdivision that our realtor told us to go look at. I can only imagine the traffic to reach Katy HS from 1463...

Cinco has a better reputation than Firethorne. It always has and I believe always will! It is a Newland community and very well planned community. If the price difference is significant then it might be worth it but I would make sure it is significant... at least 15%.
