Our subdivision was established in 1986. During the “downturn” in the late 1980’s construction halted. Did it ever pick up with a bang in the early 1990’s! The homes in Barkers Ridge were constructed by several builders, Trendmaker, Plantation, Mastermark and Pulte.

Section One (the Place) is north of Morton and west of the pool. Construction dates range from 1986 to 1993 in this area with most prices ranging from the $90’s to high $140’s. Many of these homes are on horseshoe streets and have attached garages.

Section Two (the Park), also north of Morton and east of the pool, is comprised of homes typically constructed from 1991-1994 and ranging from low $120’s for a smaller one-story to $180’s for larger two-story. There is a good blend of one and two-story homes with mostly detached garages.

Section Three (the Estates) is south of Morton. This section is comprised of larger homes on generally larger lots. The square footage ranges from about 2400 sq.ft. to over 3600 sq.ft. Most of these homes were built during the early 1990’s and range from low $140’s to the low $200's.

Sections Four and Five (the Village) north of Morton and just west of the drainage easement was completed in early 1998. Pulte is the sole builder in The Village with resale prices ranging from $130’s to $180’s.

Barkers Ridge boasts a very strong Home Owners Association (HOA) and various organizations offering both adult and family activities strive to make this subdivision home to its nearly 800 families.

None of the annual HOA dues are used for the special events in Barkers Ridge; this is where the Social Committee enters. This group of volunteers sponsors and raises funds for events such as: Easter egg hunt and Carnival, Halloween Costume Parade and Party, Family Picnic, Teen Pool Party, Adult Bar-B-Que, etc.

The Women’s Group, with its various speakers and activities each month, provides an atmosphere for meeting the neighbors, learning about various topics and doing charitable work both in the subdivision and the community.

The Swim Team, for children 4 and up, offers an opportunity for advanced swimming instruction, competition and learning the value of team participation.

Additionally, there are Bunko Groups, a Golf Tournament, etc....Once moved in -- jump right in and enjoy.

For commuters, Hwy. 290 is just a hop north, the Sam Houston Tollway is easily accessed via Clay Road east and I-10 is just south on Barker Cypress. Shopping, eating and recreation are as close as Fry Road.

For mall lovers, West Oaks is about 15 minutes south and a Katy Mills Mall is about 10 minutes west.

Cullen Park with all of its playgrounds and picnic areas -- plus the wooded bike/walk/skate trails is almost adjacent to Barkers Ridge running from just west of Barker Cypress to Hwy. 6.

A major draw to this area is the exceptional Katy School District. Test scores are some of the highest in the state! The nicest amenity in Barkers Ridge, however, is that small town “feel” -- your neighbors really do care!
