How Kelliwood Place came to be.
The story behind this katy subdivision, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
West Katy refers to the established corridors west of the city center, including the Kelliwood-area neighborhoods and the neighborhoods along Saums and Franz roads that grew through the 1990s and 2000s.
Katy itself dates to the mid-1890s MKT railroad town, and West Katy's neighborhoods carried that identity outward along the Katy Freeway, gaining mature landscaping and established shopping along the way.
