Kelliwood Trails: Everyday Cinco Ranch Convenience with a Kelliwood Address

About Kelliwood Trails

Kelliwood Trails feels defined by how quickly you can slip into the rhythm of Cinco Ranch without giving up the established, residential tone that people associate with the Kelliwood name. On school mornings, it’s common to see families heading toward JEANETTE HAYES EL just 0.2 miles away, while older students filter toward MEMORIAL PARKWAY J H at about 0.3 miles. That close-to-home school network is one of the most recognizable parts of daily life here, and it’s reinforced by the broader cluster of A-rated Katy ISD campuses nearby, including TAYLOR H S around 1.4 miles from the neighborhood.

The neighborhood sits in the 77450 ZIP code area, which gives it a very specific Cinco Ranch/Katy feel: well-established master-planned surroundings, lots of errands handled close by, and a steady stream of after-school activities. The ZIP’s median household income of $106,402 shows up in the way homes are cared for and updated, and it’s reflected in the area’s housing stability with a 68.8% homeownership rate. With an average home value of $361,400, Kelliwood Trails tends to attract buyers who want a predictable resale market and the practicality of being near everyday retail rather than feeling tucked far out.

What makes the location particularly livable is how “short trip” your routine becomes. A quick run to the Walmart Neighborhood Market about 0.2 miles away is the kind of errand that actually stays quick. When you want more choice, the nearby cluster that includes H-E-B, ALDI, and Katy Supermarket around 1.1 miles gives you options depending on whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or grabbing something easy.

Kelliwood Trails also fits naturally into the patchwork of nearby sections like Kelliwood Place and Kelliwood Enclave, where residents often share the same coffee stops and school activities. With the ZIP’s median age at 38.4 and 19.5% of residents under 18, the neighborhood reads as actively family-oriented without feeling transient—more long-term schedules, sports practices, and familiar faces than constant turnover.

What is the cost of living in Kelliwood Trails?

Cost-of-living indices and BEA Regional Price Parity (RPP) numbers were not provided for Kelliwood Trails or the 77450 ZIP, so it’s not possible to break costs down using RPP measures for overall prices, housing, goods, or utilities (where 100 equals the U.S. average). In practice, many households weigh the Cinco Ranch area’s costs against their income expectations, and in this ZIP the median household income is $106,402, with a median gross rent of $1,746 per month. On the tax side, the only rate provided is the Harris County property tax rate of $0.3810 per $100 of valuation. A combined estimate including city and school district rates can’t be calculated from the information given because those additional rates weren’t provided. Using just the county rate as a rough, partial example, a $361,400 home value would imply about $1,377 per year toward the county portion before exemptions, but actual total property taxes will be higher once all local taxing entities are included. One important offset for many households is that Texas has no state income tax, which can meaningfully change the overall affordability picture even when property taxes are a major line item.
