Cinco Ranch homes in Katy, priced right with the real monthly payment.

Cinco Ranch is entirely inside Katy ISD, one of the highest rated districts in the Houston metro. Zoned high schools include Cinco Ranch High, Seven Lakes High, and Tompkins High depending on which section of the community a home sits in, with feeder junior highs and elementaries assigned by address. Zoning can change, so we verify the exact school for any home we tour before writing an offer.

Cinco Ranch has a community wide HOA that runs the pools, parks, and trails. Fees are typically $900 to $1,200 per year depending on the section. Some neighborhoods inside Cinco Ranch carry a second sub HOA for private amenities like gated entries or additional clubhouses, which can add another $300 to $800 per year. Lenders include HOA dues in your debt to income calculation, so we pull the exact fee for any address before pre approval.

Yes. Most of Cinco Ranch sits in a Municipal Utility District, which funds local water and drainage infrastructure. The total property tax rate in Cinco Ranch ranges from roughly 2.6 to 3.2 percent depending on the section, which can add $400 to $700 a month to the payment on a median priced home. The sales rep usually quotes only the base school and county rate. We pull the effective total rate for every address we evaluate, so the payment you see matches the one the lender will use.

Yes, though most of the original phases are resale now. New construction is concentrated in the far west sections of Cinco Ranch and in neighboring master planned communities like Cross Creek Ranch and Elyson. Builders still active in the corridor include Perry Homes, Highland Homes, and Toll Brothers. If rate buydowns and closing credits matter, builder inventory homes (already built but not yet sold) carry the strongest incentives.
