One of the benefits to living in beautiful Cinc Ranch in Katy Texas is that you get to enjoy many different amenities it has to offer, such as  area pools, waterparks, tennis, walking trails, and the Cinco Ranch Beach Club! Not many subdivisions have a Beach Club for their residents! Yes, this one comes with real sand, and a pool with a sand/beach enrty, so it makes you feel like you are at the beach! The Beach Club even has it's own sand Volley-ball court along with a club deck to make the effect more tropical!

The Beach club was built not long after Cinco Ranch began building homes. The lake that joins the pool is used for recreation. There are paddle boats, canoes,  and sail boats available to the residents as well, all of which are part of the beach club.

In keeping with it's very high standard, Cinco Ranch is now going to makeover the beach Club pool. One of the reasons that homes hold their value so well in Cinco Ranch, and why this subdivision is one of the top subdivisions in the country, is how well maintained all of the amenities and grounds are kept. The pool will be drained, cleaned and prepped for re-plastering and crack repairs. All of the lights, drains, tiles, steps, inlets, and outlets will be repaired and/or replaced as well.

The Beach Club is a fun place for friends and family to gather. The kids love to bring all of their beach/sand toys, and have a great time building sand castles all day! The beach volley ball court provides fun and excercise, and of course, there are plenty of places to just relax and take in the sun.

Azzarelli's, the Italian restaurant formally located in Villagio (the retail center on the corner of Westheimer Pkwy and Peek Rd) has moved to 6455 S. Fry Rd, Katy, 77494. It is halfway between the Grand Parkway and Peek Rd in Grand Lakes.

The good news is the new location is more family friendly and still offers the best take-out food special in Houston (3 course dinner for 4 for $35 that probably could feed six). The food at Azzarelli's is quite good and certainly ranks with the finest Italian food in the Katy area.

For reservations or to call ahead for the take out special call: 281-392-2215 or go to the website at: http://www.azzarellis.com

The Katy economy keeps rolling along...the newest project to get underway is Katy Main Street, located on the I-10 service road just west of the Katy Mills Mall. They will have thoroughfare roads constructed that will tie-in both the Grand Parkway and FM 1093 into Pin Oak Rd.

The developers plan to put in a hotel/convention space, retail space, office space, a high end grocery store (although they will not say who), and Walgreen's has committed to space as well. They will be building Katy Main Street in phases with a second phase set to start in 2010.

New home builders in the Katy area south of I-10 seem to be bucking the national trend...building and selling homes to buyers looking for a great value and loads of upgrades and options. The subdivisions and Master Planned Communities offering new construction homes are Cinco Ranch, Westheimer Lakes North, Cross Creek Ranch, King Lakes, Pine Mill Ranch, Silver Ranch, Kelliwood Park, WoodCreek Reserve, Firethorne, Grand Harbor,  and Seven Meadows (close outs only).

New construction homes will range in price from under $150,000 to well over $1,000,000. This amazing group of communities offer a wide array of amenities for their clients from water parks to work out facilities...nature trails to tennis courts. The four area golf courses give homeowners the choice of public courses to private country clubs. The amenities available to children are amazing...and it seems every sport is represented from baseball and basketball to football an soccer...and don't forget lacrosse! The gymnastic and karate schools are also top notch.

While no area is immune to the downturn in the U.S. economy it seems the award winning schools, amazing medical facilities, proximity to the Houston Energy Corridor, and quick commute to downtown Houston make Katy an ideal choice for those searching for a place to call home!
