Believe it. Paid $184,000.00 for over 3,000 SF
Yeah moved to Katy 6 years ago, sold my 1,500sf home built in 1997 in BR for and bought a 3,200sf home built in 2004 for only 30K more. I can take sidewalks from my house to the multiple parks and themed swimming pools, and the schools are great so I don't have to pay for private school. Property taxes are high, but when I factor in no income tax and no private school tuition, I am coming out way ahead.
Other thing to factor in, I make about 25% more in Houston than my friends in Baton Rouge or Lafayette doing the same job with the same experience.
