Best New Construction Under $350K in Katy, TX 77493
As of August 2026, buyers looking for new construction under $350,000 in Katy, TX 77493 have confirmed starting prices at that level in three communities, Sunterra, Elyson, and Katy Reserve, plus two builders just under the line in Katy Lakes. Here is what is actually published under that price point, floor plan collection by floor plan collection.
Sunterra: the most builders under $350K
Sunterra has the largest number of builders publishing starting prices under $350,000: D.R. Horton from $269,990, Colina Homes from $268,390, Village Builders from $261,990 to $301,990, Beazer Homes from $279,156 to $349,447, Lennar from $289,991, CastleRock Communities from $299,900, DRB Homes from $299,990, Davidson Homes from $302,990, Long Lake Ltd from $307,990, Tricoast Homes from $324,990, Terrata Homes from $331,900, Century Communities from $329,990, Chesmar Homes from $339,990, and Highland Homes from $344,000.
These are each builder’s lowest published starting price. Higher trim levels, lot premiums, and larger plans from the same builders can price well above $350,000, and entry level homes tend to sell first. Confirm current availability directly with the builder.
Elyson: four builders start under $350K
Chesmar Homes from $299,615, David Weekley Homes from $314,990, Beazer Homes from $324,833, and Brookfield Residential from $328,740 all publish starting prices under $350,000 in Elyson.
Katy Reserve: Century Communities’ entry level collections
Katy Reserve’s Liberty Collection starts from about $274,900, and individually addressed homes in its Lonestar Collection have been observed between about $249,900 and $336,900.
Katy Lakes: two builders just under the line
Brohn Homes’ Rowan 2104 plan starts from $349,990, and DRB Homes’ 19 plans start at $345,990. Both are within a few thousand dollars of the $350,000 line at their lowest published starting price, so confirm current availability before counting on that exact plan.
What this list leaves out
Morton Creek Ranch’s published price range starts at $377,520, Katy Court’s lowest published starting price is $390,990, and Grange’s lowest confirmed starting price is in the $370s, so none of these three currently has a confirmed home under $350,000. Communities that are fully sold out (Marcello Lakes, Camillo Lakes, Lakecrest, Porter Ranch, Katy Crossing, and King Crossing) are left off this list entirely, since they have no current inventory to buy at any price.
