Neighborhood amenities and comfort in Grand Oaks

Grand Oaks begins its story with street names like Hidden Oaks Drive and Sleeping Bear Way. This suburban community in Katy boasts a pool, walking trails and several ponds that accentuate its natural surroundings. Bear Creek, spelled initially "Behr" in homage to German immigrants in the early 19th century, flows through the community. A sought-after suburb in Katy's rapidly growing landscape, Grand Oaks is positioned 25 miles northwest of the city, within reach of major highways, outdoor recreation and well-regarded schools. “Grand Oaks is like a Houston-Katy mashup, it’s kind of in-between the areas,” says Jared Greenberg, a Realtor with Keller Williams Premier who was born and raised in Katy. “It’s a regular old neighborhood, but that’s the appeal. You’re in a good school district, and property taxes are lower than a master-planned community would have.”

The community features a variety of home styles, from modern to traditional.

Contemporary homes and in-community amenities

Designed around community spaces, Grand Oaks features a pool and recreation center connected by cul-de-sacs and sidewalks illuminated by streetlights. The prevalent house style is Neo-traditional, characterized by fenced backyards, attached two-car garages, arched entryways and brick and stone masonry. Construction spans from the early 2000s to the mid-2010s, with a small portion erected after 2021. Home prices vary, with the oldest homes selling between $250,000 and $300,000, while the more contemporary properties selling for $350,000 to nearly $500,000. “There’s a new section and it’s in a convenient location,” Greenberg says. “Hopefully prices stabilize in the next few years, but still, low property taxes are what you need to consider.” The Grand Oaks Homeowner Association oversees the neighborhood, fostering community meetings to address concerns and updates. The neighborhood scores a 3 on the CAP Index, while the national average is 4.

Access to Highway 6 and expecting traffic

Grand Oaks is a car-dependent community and strategically sits between major thoroughfares: Texas 99, Highway 6, U.S. 290, and Interstate 10. It is also less than 40 miles from William P. Hobby Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Many will commute to downtown Houston, especially those working in the medical field, but should be aware of traffic. “A 30-minute drive into downtown Houston can easily turn into more than an hour,” Greenberg says. “It’s an eye-glazing experience. Rush hour here can be tough.”

The Loveplum Trail and expansive Bear Creek Pioneers Park

The heart of the neighborhood is adorned with a shimmering pond, and the Loveplum Trail loops around the pond for bike rides and evening strolls.

Residents enjoy unlimited access to outdoor activities, including an Olympic-sized pool, a shaded playground and an exclusive recreation center. The Steve Radack Community Center hosts a rotating calendar of events like yoga, Zumba, and line dancing. The members-only Pine Forest Country Club, situated 6 miles away, invites locals for leisurely games on its professional 27-hole Bermuda greens. Bear Creek Pioneer Park is 5 miles from the neighborhood, offering additional trails suitable for horseback riding and serves as the home of the Bear Creek Little League.
