Cinco Ranch High School has the honor of being nominated for the national no child left behind blue ribbon schools program. This honor is given to schools throughout the nation that demonstrate academic superiority or have consistent improvement in student achievement.
To get nominated for this prestigious honor a school must have at least forty percent of its disadvantaged students show dramatic improvement on state tests over a three year period in math, reading, or English....or the student body must must perform in the top ten percent of test scores in math, reading, or English.
These schools must not be shown to be persistently dangerous and must show good yearly progress to be considered for the blue ribbon. Cinco Ranch educators will find out later this year if the high school has been selected as a Blue Ribbon school.
The active adult community of Heritage Grand in the Master Planned Community of Cinco Ranch is a very hot commodity. Located in Katy Texas just south of I-10, the area has been dubbed med-center west because of the wonderful array of state of the art medical facilities and Hospitals. Katy is also the home to two area malls, the Katy Mills Mall and the LaCenterra Mall at Cinco Ranch. These malls are loaded with great shopping options as well as a large number of restaurants and offices.
The amenities in Heritage Grand are also impressive. The community has its own pool and spa, fitness center, computer center, putting green, shuffle board court, and walking trails throughout. The homes located in Heritage Grand will either be patio homes or townhomes. the patio homes have the front lawn, trees and bushes maintained by the home owners association. The townhomes add the exterior maintenance as well as the roof and property insurance. Resale prices in 2007 ranged from under $150,000 to around $275,000.
Another benefit of living in the Katy/Houston area is the wide range of activities that will be available to you. Houston, as the forth largest city in America has everything you would expect from a large metropolis. Sports (like the Astros, Texans, Rockets, etc...) Broadway style plays, wonderful music venues, and the World Famous Houston Rodeo!
Cinco Ranch is one of the largest Master Planned communities in the Country. It offers for it's residents the BeachClub, the Cinco Ranch Water Park, the Nature Preserve, Tennis, Lakes with boating and fishing, and the Cinco Ranch Golf Club (which has reduced fees for Cinco Ranch residents).

The best January ever...that is the only way to explain it! It was busy from the time the ball dropped in Times Square...until just before midnight on the 31st. The Katy Texas market is still going strong and our Internet marketing techniques are helping both buyers and sellers find us on the web.
We limit ourselves to 10 home listings at a time so if you are a seller please call or e-mail us so we can begin the process of getting you on the schedule and showing you how we can help you sell your home with the lowest volume of stress and the highest yield in your pocket!
We are also scheduling buyers at this time and still have good flexibility on our schedules to help...we want you to feel like you are our only clients!
Thanks again for a Wonderful January-Mona and Jeff
The Houston Association of Realtors puts out its hotness index every month. The Katy area south of I-10 rated number one for the month of December...in fact Katy has been number one for 10 of the last 12 months. The index is based on the number of listings that are sold or under contract in relation to the number of homes available on the market. The numbers show a strong market in the Katy area for residential real estate. These numbers are also helped by the commercial real estate boom in Katy...especially the medical building boom that has recently added two full service state of the art hospitals with two more on the way (Texas Children's and St Luke's).
We feel this trend will continue in Katy because of the commercial real estate boom, the medical boom that has Katy being called "Med Center West" and the Award Winning KISD School District that had 14 campuses rate in the top 5% of the State as rated by Texas Monthly.
