The Small Town Charm of Firethorne, Part One

Firethorne is a relatively new Katy master-planned community strategically located on FM 1463 near the crossroads of the I-10 West Corridor, the Westpark Tollway and the Grand Parkway. A 1,400-acre residential development, Firethorne was designed to combine the vibrancy of Katy with the small town charm of Fulshear.

Named for a resilient evergreen indigenous to the Texas prairie, Firethorne blends with the best nature has to offer boasting 150-acres devoted to parks and recreational amenities. There is a 12-acre lake with surrounding greenbelt, hike and bike trails, parks and playgrounds. There is a discovery-rich wildlife observation area, a natural bird habitat and more.

According to Firethorne Marketing Director Janet Burkett, "To date, Firethorne has opened two fully furnished Model Parks. Three more will open in the Fall of 2009." The Visitor Center is pictured above.

Perry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Plantation Homes, Highland Homes, Coventry Homes and Partners in Building comprise the Firethorne builder team. Many designs, representing different prices, are available in Firethorne.

It is always best to purchase new construction with the help of a Realtor; it will not cost you anything and it will give you the protection of a professional to look out for your best interests. This is very important. Contact me, I have special buyer incentives.
