Firethorne | Market Report | May 2015| 77494 
 
Firethorne Katy TX is another master planned community in far west Katy where the entrances are off of FM 1463 north of FM 1093.

My guess is Firethorne depending on where you start and stop is probably about 28 -32 miles almost due west of downtown Houston.
 
Firethorne is built on approximately 1,400 acre with 150 areas … (6 comments)

The home itself is physically on the right hand side of the … (11 comments)
