Kelliwood TX History

The 1980s welcomed a number of master-planned communities in Greater Katy, including some of the bigger developments in the area today: Cinco Ranch, Green Trails, and Kelliwood.

Earlier, the area was largely rural. Farms and working cattle ranches occupied most of the lush expanse west of Houston and south of the city of Katy. Several factors brought development into the area, including easier access to Houston via Interstate 10 and the demand for more housing.

Kickerillo Companies, with Vincent Kickerillo at the helm, are the developers behind several Houston area homes and communities, including Kelliwood. Some of their more recent projects include Lakes of Parkway.

Kickerillo named the project, a large group of subdivisions in east Katy, after his daughter Kelli. Each subdivision offered something a bit different. Some areas showcased lakes, while others were built along a golf course.

Today, Kelliwood homes still offer great value. High-quality schools, easy accessibility to key employment and business hubs, and the neighborhood’s great location are some factors contributing to the neighborhood’s continued popularity.
