Elyson homes for sale
& new construction.
Elyson is a 3,600-acre master-planned community in Katy with nine active builders, 27 model homes, extensive recreation and housing ranging from the $300s to more than $1 million. For buyers, the opportunity is not simply finding a home in Elyson. It is identifying which builder, homesite and price segment delivers the strongest overall transaction.
Elyson in Katy
An established community that is still growing.
Located off the Grand Parkway at FM 529, Elyson opened in 2016 and has developed into one of the larger master-planned communities in the Katy area.
The community now combines established neighborhoods, schools, amenity centers and commercial conveniences with substantial ongoing new construction. That creates opportunities for buyers who prefer something already established as well as those who want a brand-new home.
The price range is unusually broad.
Elyson includes paired homes and smaller single-family products in the $300s, traditional move-up homes, larger 65 and 70-foot homesites, 80-foot homesites and luxury residences above $1 million. The right comparison changes substantially depending on where your budget falls within that range.
Why Buyers Look at Elyson
A lot of Katy in one community.
Elyson combines several of the characteristics buyers typically search for separately: new construction, established amenities, schools inside the community, larger homesites and access to the Grand Parkway corridor.
New + Established
Buyers can compare brand-new construction against homes in more established sections of the same community.
Nine Builders
A deep builder lineup creates choices across multiple lot sizes, floor plans and price ranges.
Larger Homesites
65, 70 and 80-foot homesite products provide meaningful move-up and luxury options.
Grand Parkway Access
The FM 529 location provides access to the Grand Parkway and the broader Katy and West Houston employment corridors.
Community Amenities
Pools, fitness centers, lakes, trails, parks and recreation are already established and continue to expand.
Schools in the Community
Several public-school campuses are located inside Elyson, although zoning should always be verified for the specific home.
Elyson Luxury & Move-Up Homes
The $700K+ market deserves its own search.
Broad Katy statistics do not tell the whole Elyson story. Several builders offer larger homes and premium homesites that place Elyson squarely into the $700,000 to $1 million-plus comparison.
At those prices, the question becomes larger than floor plan. Homesite width, builder, included features, upgrades, inventory position, incentives and financing can materially change the deal.
Highland Homes
Current 80-foot homesite products begin in the low $800s, with Highland designs in Elyson reaching approximately 4,681 square feet.
Newmark Homes
Newmark’s Signature Series currently begins in the mid-$700s, with available designs extending to approximately 4,547 square feet.
Perry Homes
Perry’s Elyson offerings extend to nearly 5,000 square feet, providing substantial move-up and luxury alternatives.
Toll Brothers
Toll Brothers offers Elyson designs extending beyond 4,600 square feet, adding another higher-end builder to the comparison.
Elyson Home Builders
Nine builders. Very different products.
Elyson’s builder lineup spans smaller homes, traditional single-family construction and substantial luxury residences. Start with the type of home you need, then compare the builders that actually compete within that segment.

Approximately 1,579 to 2,286 square feet with current offerings beginning in the low $300s.

Living in Elyson
The amenities are already substantial.
One advantage of buying in a community that has been developing for a decade is that buyers do not have to imagine the entire lifestyle from a site plan. Elyson already has major recreation centers, parks, lakes and trails in operation.
The community is also still investing in additional amenities, giving buyers a combination of established infrastructure and continued development.
Lakeside Landing
A major amenity center on a 31-acre lake with resort-style pool, lap pool, fitness center and gathering spaces.
Elyson House
An additional community amenity center with recreation, fitness and resident gathering areas.
Elyson Commons
Approximately 145 acres incorporating sports fields, courts, fitness stations, trails and a dog park.
Parks & Open Space
More than 750 acres of the master plan are dedicated to parks, recreation, trails and natural open space.
More Coming in 2027
Two additional pool-centered amenity areas are planned for summer 2027, which would bring Elyson to four community pools.
Schools in Elyson
Several campuses are inside the community.
Elyson’s size has allowed multiple schools to be incorporated directly into the community. Most Elyson homes are within Katy ISD, while portions of the community extend into Cy-Fair ISD.
Because school boundaries can change and Elyson crosses district boundaries, the assigned schools should always be verified for the specific property rather than assumed from the community name.
Katy ISD + Cy-Fair ISD
Approximately 90% of Elyson homes are expected to be zoned to Katy ISD, with additional neighborhoods in Cy-Fair ISD. Katy ISD campuses located within Elyson include elementary, junior-high and high-school facilities, including Freeman High School, which is operating as a full 9–12 campus for the 2026–27 school year.
Buying in Elyson
Narrow the field before touring 27 models.
A large model-home selection can make shopping feel productive while actually making the decision harder. Before touring, I prefer to establish the budget, homesite size, approximate square footage, timing and non-negotiable features.
Then we can compare the builders and inventory that genuinely fit instead of allowing the model-home route to determine the purchase.
Looking at $700K to $1M+?
We can focus immediately on the larger homesite products from Highland, Newmark and other upper-end builders, then compare those homes with resale opportunities and competing communities throughout Katy and Fulshear.

Selling in Elyson
Your resale competes with nine builders.
Elyson sellers operate in a market where buyers can compare resale homes with a large supply of new construction. Builder inventory, lot availability, incentives and financing can change the competitive landscape quickly.
A resale pricing strategy therefore needs to consider what buyers can purchase new at a similar effective cost in addition to traditional comparable sales.
What could your Elyson home sell for?
I’ll evaluate recent sales, active resale competition, current builder inventory and the individual characteristics of your property before developing a pricing and marketing strategy.
