Grange - Ricestead at Grange: Katy’s New Hometown Hub for Recreation & CommunitySeptember 11, 2025
Ricestead is a planned 20-acre amenity and commercial district in Grange, a master-planned community in Katy, TX. This new hometown hub will bring recreational amenities, outdoor spaces, community events, shops, and dining together in one central location. Breaking ground in 2026, Ricestead is sure to become a space where stories are swapped, cookie recipes exchanged, and taking a coffee break has a whole new meaning. A 20-Acre Amenity District Inspired by Texas Town SquaresInspired by Texas’ charming town squares and Katy’s rich history, Ricestead will be proof that vintage vibes and modern perks can co-exist. Weathered facades, exposed wood beams, metal accents softened by shaded porches, and string-lit courtyards will create a sense that Ricestead has been part of our hometown forever while still offering all the modern amenities you’ve come to expect from a master-planned community in Katy, TX. Community Lawn, Events and Outdoor Gathering Spaces at GrangeAmong those amenities will be a vast, communal lawn that encourages families, neighbors, and friends to stop and stay awhile, whether to spread a blanket for an impromptu picnic or rock out to a local band. Farmers markets, seasonal celebrations, and yoga on the lawn will all have their place, making Ricestead a vibrant spot where you’ll be able to relax, connect, and recharge. Harvest Hall, Fitness Center, Co-Working Spaces and Pools in RicesteadSitting off the green will be Harvest Hall where the community will gather for Father-Daughter dances, wellness fairs, holiday parties, and crafting get-togethers. The approximately 12,000-square-foot gathering place will also include an approximate 2,500-square-foot fitness center, while remote workers, hybrid employees, digital nomads or freelancers can claim their throne in the co-working spaces. When it’s time to cool off, head to the pool courtyard where you’ll be able to choose from cannonballs in the resort-style pool or leisurely breaststrokes in the lap pool. Covered Pickleball Courts, Trails and a PlaygroundNearby, residents can challenge each other to pickleball competitions. With six covered courts, there will be no waiting when it comes to asserting your pickleball dominance. Not feeling competitive? Our trails will beckon for a quick walk or jog around the lake. Kids will have their space, too, with a fantastic playground. Planned Shops and Dining Along Franz RoadIt’s not just about perks, though. Ricestead is about connection and convenience. And what could be more convenient than the local shops lining Franz Road? That’s the vision. We imagine residents will frequent the coffee shop that will have your order ready when you walk through the door, that a shop owner might be your next-door neighbor, and teens will discover their new favorite hangout.
