Katy, TX Apartments for Rent

Katy is a historic railroad town 29 miles west of downtown Houston. It started in the mid-1890s along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad and got its name from the "KT stop" when the railroad dropped its Missouri waypoint. If you're looking for apartments for rent in Katy, you'll find lots of options, with one-bedroom units averaging $1,306. That's great value in a community that offers small-town friendliness plus easy access to everything Houston has to offer.

Renting in Katy makes sense for budget-minded folks thanks to its spot along Interstate 10. You get a straight shot to downtown Houston (just 29 miles) while paying less than you would closer to the city. Popular neighborhoods include Old Town Katy, Pin Oak Village, and The Falls at Green Meadows, with everything from garden-style apartments to newer complexes. You'll love shopping at Katy Mills, spending time at Mary Jo Peckham Park (great for fishing and walking), and trying all the restaurants in Katy Asian Town. With top-rated schools in the Katy Independent School District and major employers like BP America and Houston Methodist West Hospital, it's a stable place to call home. Plus, the yearly Rice Harvest Festival is a fun reminder of the area's farming roots.
