Kelliwood 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 just some of the factors that contribute to the neighborhood’s continued popularity.
Like most master-planned communities within the Greater Katy area, Kelliwood provides its residents with a number of amenities to suit different tastes. The neighborhood features several parks, swimming pools, lakes, tennis courts, playgrounds, and walking trails.
George Bush Park, a 7,800-acre park, is adjacent to Kelliwood. The park is home to several sports facilities (soccer, softball and baseball), parks, playgrounds, and miles of multi-use trails. The park also features a field for flying model aircraft.
Kelliwood Lakes, Lakeforest of Kelliwood, and Lakes of Buckingham Kelliwood each have a central lake where residents can enjoy their non-motorized watercraft (paddle boats, kayaks, and canoes). Kelliwood Courts, Kelliwood Links, Kelliwood Greens, and Fairways at Kelliwood enjoy proximity to the Willow Fork Country Club’s golf course.
The private country club offers a golf course, tennis courts, a fitness center, a swimming pool, and dining facilities. Non-members of the club can rent the club’s facilities for functions and events. Other golf courses in the area include the daily-fee Golf Club at Cinco Ranch and the Meadowbrooks Farm Country Club.
