Median closed sale price, recent closed sales, price per square foot, days on market and inventory for King Lakes come from the MLS, and HAR’s public pages do not publish them by neighborhood, so we do not show them here. Ask for a current MLS report for the streets you are considering. Full sources are on the King Lakes Fact Sheet.
Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: King Lakes gives you a newer Pulte or Centex house with lake views close to Cinco Ranch's shopping. I would compare the full tax bill against Cinco Ranch and Grand Lakes before deciding, since the $0.77 MUD rate is on the high side.
King Lakes vs. Nearby Neighborhoods
King Lakes vs. Falcon Ranch
Choose Falcon Ranch and you gain: A lower HAR median value.
You give up: King Lakes' newer homes and lake setting.
King Lakes vs. Cinco Ranch
Choose Cinco Ranch and you gain: A much larger master plan with more amenities.
You give up: King Lakes' smaller, newer setting.
