Katy Property Management

The town was made known by a real estate aficionado named Adam Henry Stockdick. He was hired by the railroad and knew exactly how to market the city to potential investors looking to buy land. He realized that it was better to show the city to people in spring and fall because those who came in the summer only saw mosquitos, heat, and humidity that almost always drove them away.

Those who did stay to purchase land in Katy TX began growing a variety of crops, and out of all the crops grown, the one that turned out the best was rice. Because the land was extremely fertile, rice farms popped up all over the city.

On September 8, 1900, the worst hurricane in US history, known as the Galveston Hurricane, obliterated the gulf coast with powerful 120 mile per hour winds that created 20-foot waves, killing thousands. Nobody from Katy died, but the town was destroyed and because lumber was a scarce resource, people would have to tear down destroyed buildings in order to gather all the lumber they could to build new homes and stores.

The residents of Katy worked together to pool their resources and shared everything they had in the way of food, clothing, and basic necessities with those who had lost everything.

With 38 primary schools, 13 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 4 alternative schools, Katy Independent School District ranks 199th of 932 Texas school districts, making Katy a great place to educate your children. In 2016 alone, Katy Independent School District students performed better than 87.2 percent of all other school districts in Texas.

The school district offers a reduced price lunch for students, and 29 percent of students receive this lunch.

Katy is filled with entertainment for the whole family, and you can find current activities posted to KatyMagazine.com – the website extension of the city’s magazine. Among these events are:

• Live music at Las Alamedas. Las Alamedas is a restaurant and bar.
• Houston area Ride ‘n Shine Car Show. Hosted every month by the GTRBros group, this free car show provides a place for car enthusiasts to gather and show off their pride and joy – and provides fun for the whole family.
• Movies in the Courtyard. Every Saturday evening, family-friendly movies are presented by the Alamo Drafthouse. People bring their own food or eat at nearby restaurants before heading over to the courtyard with their blankets to relax and be entertained.

Texas is known for its landlord/owner friendly laws that tend to favor the landlord, and that means you’re well protected if you’re purchasing a property to rent out. If a tenant violates their lease agreement, the law allows for a quick and efficient process to remedy the situation. For example, if a tenant doesn’t pay their rent or brings a pet on the property against the terms of the lease, the landlord can give a 3-day notice to vacate and does not have to give the tenant options to pay the rent or get rid of the pet.
