What I Like About Firethorne…
“Firethorne is one of the newer neighborhoods in Katy and so it has some beautiful homes that can be energy efficient. The neighborhood pool and park are very nice and it’s zoned to a very high-performing junior high school. (The other schools are new.)”
—Sheila Cox, REALTOR® and the Katy local area expert
