Grand Lakes is a 1,250-acre master-planned community in Katy with over 2,700 homes, built across four phases from the late 1990s through the late 2010s. Sitting roughly 25 miles west of downtown Houston, it offers direct access to the Grand Parkway (SH 99) and the Westpark Tollway — a strong commute story to the Energy Corridor.
Unlike newer Katy developments still building out their amenity base, Grand Lakes has 27 stocked lakes, four pools, miles of walking trails, and a genuine neighborhood character that took decades to develop. There is no active new construction here — what you find is established resale with traditional brick elevations, mature trees, and a wide range of lot sizes from patio-sized to lakefront estate.
Grand Lakes features 27 man-made lakes stocked for catch-and-release fishing, four competition-sized pools, a splash pad, spray park, lighted tennis courts, putting greens, a community garden, a dedicated off-leash dog park, and an extensive walking and biking trail network across 200 acres of village greens.
Grand Lakes is zoned to Seven Lakes High School — one of the most sought-after Katy ISD campuses and a major draw for families. The full feeder pattern includes Roosevelt Alexander Elementary and Beckendorff Junior High, all consistently ranked among the best schools in Texas.
Mature trees, traditional brick elevations, and over 25 years of community investment give Grand Lakes a sense of permanence that newer developments are still working to build. Lot sizes range from patio homes to larger lakefront and greenbelt properties — all resale, all established.
