Try Trendmaker. They are excellent quality homes and I am living in my 2nd Trendmaker. I love them and they are priced very reasonable. They also negotiated on our price. I highly recommend.

I owned a Meritage (formerly Hammonds Homes" home in Falcon Ranch a few years ago. The quality is the same as any other home in that price range and they were really good at making changes to the plan to suit our needs, ie, wider driveway, larger garage, etc. The only negative was they only put one 4 ton AC unit in our 3000 sq. ft. home after we pleaded for 2. Our electric bill topped $500 - $600 in summer months.

Being a Katy mom and living in Cinco Ranch myself, I could take offense with your posting, but I couldn't agree more. I could write a manual on "How to be a Katy Mom". Drive an oversized SUV while talking on the phone, a little heavy set with bermuda shorts and flip flops, bob type hair style, perfect pedicure, make sure YOUR child has the best of everything, and by all means, do not let anyone get in YOUR way!!!

I must be one of those (out of touch with reality) homeowners you are referring to. I just sold my home in Grand Lakes for $4,000 below asking price. After receiving a laughable low bid ($40,000) below asking price. Could that have been you who made that offer? While it is definately a buyers market, Cinco, Grand Lakes and 7 Meadows still remain strong in the resale markets. There is a reason for this. I don't want to rain on your parade, but my friend just sold her house in Falcon Point due to the ongoing deterioration of the neighnorhood. Her street became a thoroughfare for the Katy Mills Mall and the adjoining neighborhoods are becoming rental properties. Not only that, but there is a huge apartment complex going up behind the subdivision. The saying goes....."You get what you pay for".

Katy residents need to wake up and realize that we have a mall right down the road called West Oaks Mall. Why don't people from Katy support this mall? I can get to West Oaks quicker than I can get to Katy Mills from my home in Grand Lakes. The mall has a not-so-good reputation for crime, but I went with my 10 year old daughter last Sunday and my experience was not far from being very pleasant. We went to Dillards, Macy's Express and we spent a lot of money. Sure, there are alot of stores closed, ie, Gap, Limited, Hollister, etc., but only because the genre that frequents the mall are of urban fashionista. I guarantee if the snooty Katy soccer moms would give West Oaks another chance, we can reclaim this mall and have the stores we like to shop in without having to drive so far. BTW, the people we came across that day were very friendly, polite and well groomed and I felt safe. First Colony Mall....different story!

How Funny!!!!!

Yesterday I noticed an "Azzarelli's" sign in front of Pulcinella. I guess they are re-opening in an even worse location (and much smaller facility). There is also a "BYOB" sign. Interesting.

I would like to know why they choose to ride in the street when there is a sidewalk. The cyclers are annoying and make me nervous. They want to occupy the streets and expect drivers to respect, but I don't see a lot of the cyclers respecting the drivers, i.e. driving between cars at redlights, failing to yield, etc. I hate when I get stuck between 2 riding side-by-side. Why can't they ride at George Bush or Cullen?

That should be the new Kroger. I heard they are building a Buckees around there too.

Yes, lighten up people. I'm a Grand Lakes snob and I love Wally World!
