How School Zones Work in Sunterra

Sunterra’s 2,303 acres span a significant geographic footprint in Katy, Texas. The primary school zone is Katy Independent School District (Katy ISD) — this covers the majority of Sunterra addresses. However, a small portion of the community falls within Royal ISD, which is a smaller and less nationally prominent district. School zone assignment in Texas is based on the specific street address of the home, not the community name or zip code.

Own Luxury Homes® pulls the TEA (Texas Education Agency) boundary data for every specific lot address before any offer is submitted. This is especially important in Sunterra because the boundary between Katy ISD and Royal ISD can run through sections of the community — two homes on the same street can potentially be in different districts.

The school district question is the first question I ask every Sunterra buyer with school-age children. Most of Sunterra is Katy ISD. But ‘most’ is not ‘all.’ I pull the TEA boundary for every specific lot before any offer. This is non-negotiable.
