What to Do with Rest of Summer in Katy TX

It’s hard to believe, this year especially, that summer is already winding down. As your Katy real estate agent, I’m here to share some summer activity options here in Katy, so you can make the most of the summer weeks we still have left! As always, if you have Katy real estate market goals you’d like to achieve before summer’s end, give me a call. I’d love to help!

1. Go fishing. There are lots of great places to go fishing in Katy, but if you’re looking for a family-friendly spot that won’t be too crowded, Katy Magazine shared some spots that are a little more hidden. These include fishing holes at Mary Jo Peckham Park, Mason Creek, Grand Lakes, Bear Creek and others. Choose a spot and make a day of it!

2. Cool off with dessert. There is no better season to enjoy a delicious ice cream or gelato dessert! Katy has plenty of fun options. Creamistry prepares your dessert with liquid nitrogen and has 50 customizable flavors and toppings. Bubble Egg delivers a Hong Kong classic with numerous ice cream flavors and toppings paired with an egg waffle. Somi Somi has a Koren “Ah-Boong” dessert with goldfish-shaped waffle cones stuffed with a filling and soft serve. Freezy Frenzy has rolled ice cream. There are so many interesting varieties of frozen desserts to choose from!

3. Go hiking or biking. Getting outside and getting exercise are both great ways to reduce stress and improve your health this summer. There are lots of places to walk or bike outdoors in Katy, within neighborhoods and at local parks. Bear Creek Park has a 2-mile walking trail. Eagle Ranch West Pocket Park has a 0.67-mile walking trail. George Bush Hike and Bike Trail has 11.36 miles of trail. Mason Creek Hike & Bike Trail is 2.35 miles with fishing access. Rick Rice Park has a 1-mile trail and a 20-mile trail. Check out the whole list to help you plan!

4. Dine out. Support local restaurants and food trucks by giving yourself a night off from cooking! Whether you dine on a local patio, or grab food to go and eat it at home or in a park, you’ve got lots of options. Here’s a list of local food trucks, including Mingo’s Latin Kitchen, Bahama Mama’s, Daddy Duncan’s BBQ and more. Here’s a list of local restaurants with outdoor patios, including Antonia’s Italian Ristorante, Baker Street Pub & Grill, Black Walnut Cafe, Dish Society, Local Table, TaD’s Louisiana Cooking and many more.

You could also spend your last summer weeks going swimming, playing in the backyard, taking a mini road trip vacation, or spending time tackling clutter in your home, or completing home maintenance checklists. If you want to buy a Katy home or sell your Katy home before the end of summer, contact me, your Katy real estate agent! I am here and ready to answer all of your questions and to guide you through the process, until your Katy real estate goals have been accomplished!

Mickie advocates for her clients more than anyone I've ever worked with. She's doesn't miss any details.I wound up saving me a considerable amount of money. She'll be my realtor as long as she wants to keep working.

Know Mickie C for years. Used them for property management,selling our home and selling our business. They are like family! Have them help you with your real estate needs.

I recently worked with Mickie to list my rental property, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. She was incredibly professional, handled the listing with care, and stayed on top of every detail until the lease was signed. Highly recommend her services to any property owner!

We've trusted Mickie to help us buy four houses. When searching for our latest house, I told her that open water was a must. Mickie helped us get our dream home on the open water for a great price. She is the best in the Houston area!

Mickie and her team are phenomenal. Our first experience with Mickie was years ago when she represented the seller of a home we were purchasing. We were so impressed that we made it a point to hire her when we were ready to move. We already had lofty expectations and Mickie far suprassed these. She truly has her clients' best interest at the forefront of everything she does. She helped us navigate some stressful challenges, utilized her vast network to gain max value for our sale, and fought for us a purchasers to get an amazing deal. Not only is she a fantastic realtor but she's also a great person. In an industry where most agents just care about collecting a commission, Mickie truly cares about her clients happiness first and foremost. People like her are rare and I couldn't imagine doing business with anyone else.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Mickie C. She is the definition of a consummate professional, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity. From the moment you become her client, she takes care of every detail involved in buying or selling a home, making what could be a stressful process feel effortless. I first met Mickie twelve years ago when we purchased our home. She was the buyer’s agent at the time, and I was immediately impressed by her tenacity and determination to secure the very best deal for her clients. She’s a tough negotiator, but always with her client’s best interests at heart. I remember telling myself back then: when the time comes to sell this house, Mickie will be the one to list it. And that’s exactly what I did—and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Not only did Mickie successfully list and sell our home, but she also worked as our buyer’s agent for our new property. She and her team pulled off what I can only describe as a miracle. I was determined to transition directly from my old home into my new one without needing a temporary place in between, and Mickie made it happen. She negotiated the deal so skillfully that we closed on the sale of our home on Monday and, incredibly, closed on our new home just four days later, on Thursday! Throughout the entire process, I never once felt overlooked, uninformed, or uncertain. Mickie’s expertise and proactive communication gave me total peace of mind—I knew she was on top of every detail. Honestly, I cannot imagine how any of this could have been accomplished so smoothly, efficiently, and successfully without her. And beyond her professional excellence, Mickie is also just a joy to work with—approachable, fun, and genuinely caring. She doesn’t just handle transactions; she builds lasting relationships.

2018: Excellent experience with Julie and Dawn. They were always available and patient with us. We really found the perfect house for a family with very specific needs. Thank you! 2025: Worked with Mickie this time and the second experience was as good as the first.
