Red Admiral at the Park Edge of 77433

About Red Admiral

Red Admiral feels like it was planned around outdoor time, with Happy Tails Dog Park practically next door at about a tenth of a mile and a whole string of small, quick-to-reach green spaces that shape everyday routines. On a normal afternoon, it’s easy to picture neighbors cutting over to Sunfish Park or Longwing Landing for a short walk, then stretching that loop toward Mariposa Park or Papillon Park when they want a little more space. That park-to-park rhythm gives the area a very “step outside and do something” vibe rather than a place where you have to plan a drive to get fresh air.

In the 77433 pocket where Red Admiral sits, the numbers reflect a settled, ownership-heavy community. The typical home value lands around $409,400, and ownership runs high at about 81.5%, which shows up in the way people treat the neighborhood like a long-term home base rather than a temporary stop. With a median household income of $143,934 and a median age of 34.4, the broader area around Red Admiral reads as a mix of established professionals and young families who keep calendars full with school events, park meetups, and weekend errands.

The neighborhood’s identity also comes from its immediate context: it’s surrounded by other distinct, close-by sections with similarly memorable names like Spring Azure, Painted Lady, Cyna Blue, and Pearl Crescent. That cluster makes the area feel like a true community network instead of a single isolated pocket, with people crossing over for playdates, park time, and quick runs to the store. H-E-B is close enough at about 1.5 miles that grocery runs can happen between practices and homework, not as an all-day project.

Schools are a big part of how locals orient themselves here. Red Admiral is tied to Katy ISD, and within a short drive you’ve also got several A-rated Cypress-Fairbanks ISD campuses in the mix, including Bridgeland High School about 2 miles away and Pope Elementary about 2.7 miles away. That concentration of highly rated options nearby adds to the sense that this part of 77433 is designed for households putting down roots.

Red Admiral tends to draw residents who want a Katy address in Harris County while living close to everyday parks like Mosaic Park and Josey Lake Park & Bird Sanctuary, and who like the idea of a neighborhood where weeknights can include a sunset walk and weekends can start with coffee at Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café.

When residents want a change of scenery without going far, they’ll rotate through nearby spots like Mariposa Park, Papillon Park, and Mosaic Park, or head a bit farther out to Josey Lake Park & Bird Sanctuary for a more nature-forward walk. Because there are so many named parks within a short drive, outdoor time doesn’t feel like a special occasion here—it feels built in.

Housing in the area reflects the kind of neighborhood where people buy and stay.

What we can measure clearly here is the property tax picture. In this area, the city property tax rate is $0.4250 per $100 of valuation and the Harris County rate is $0.3810 per $100, while Katy ISD’s tax rate is $1.1171 per $100.
