Porter Ranch Katy TX is a small, affordable, newer neighborhood located on the Northwest side of Katy, near Stockdick School Rd and Porter Rd. The schools here are not the highest-rated in Katy and you need to be careful of the 500-year flood zone on the north side of the neighborhood.
Porter Ranch is located in Harris County and was primarily built between 2019 to 2021. The “typical” home in Porter Ranch is around 1867.5 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 2-car garage, and on a 5,490 sf lot. About 75% of the homes are one-story. Because the homes here are relatively new, you’ll enjoy contemporary construction standards that may be more energy-efficient than older homes. Plus, this community has a neighborhood lake and park area.

You will want a Realtor to help you practice Due Diligence in this neighborhood regarding high-voltage powerlines, drainage issues, lots backing to busy streets, flood zone issues, MUD tanks/treatment centers, etc. Some of this neighborhood is located in Flood Zone X (which is not in a special flood hazard area) and some of this neighborhood is located in a 500-yr flood zone, so make sure your Realtor checks a house’s flood zone and history before you make an offer (like me 🙂 ).

REALTORS DON’T “JUST” SELL HOUSES Real estate agents don’t “just” sell houses; we sell a SERVICE to effectively guide home buyers and sellers through the entire real estate transaction, which usually takes several months. We are more like real estate consultants than we are salespeople. That’s probably why 88 percent of all home buyers and sellers choose to hire a real estate agent when buying or selling a home! Buying or selling a home is not like buying or selling a TV, a computer, or a car. You can’t buy/sell a home on the Internet with a couple of clicks. There are MANY legal aspects, deadlines, and requirements that most people are not trained to handle. What’s more…mistakes along the way can cost you thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars. The financial risk is much greater than just about anything else you may buy.
