We moved to Katy from The Woodlands 18 months ago. At that time the shopping just didn't compare, there was nothing like Market Street for example. Things are changing very fast - there are upmarket shopping developments going up all over. Right now, Memorial City Mall as mentioned is about 20 minutes on the I-10, or Macy's, Sears and Dillards are also at West Oaks Mall if those are the stores you prefer.
