Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Westheimer Lakes gets you a 2007-to-2012 house near the tollway for less than most of the Katy area. I would confirm the school district for the exact address before anything else, then compare the full tax bill and check the flood zone for lake lots.
