It’s a story that just doesn’t get old — Sunterra is again the top-selling community in Texas for the third consecutive year!
This three-peat achievement came after builders sold 1,024 new homes in Sunterra during 2025, earning us the No. 5 spot among the nation’s 50 top-selling master planned communities, according to housing research firm RCLCO. It’s the third time we’ve been ranked in the top five nationally on the annual report and the fourth time to be included on the list.
So what makes Sunterra so appealing? Let’s take a look:
Outstanding Amenities
Not every community boasts an amenity complex anchored by a nearly 3-acre crystal clear lagoon. But that’s exactly what opened last year in Sunterra. The Sol Club is where residents where they can wade turquoise waters and play along a sandy shore. Overlooking the lagoon is a beautifully appointed 10,000-square-foot clubhouse with a shady patio and comfortable interior spaces. Covered pickleball courts are part of the daily fun, as are Central Park and the Corner Park Playground.
A second amenity village, The Retreat, doubles the fun with a resort-style pool, lazy river and splash pad. The Retreat’s fitness center and yoga studio are where residents can get bathing-suit ready. Our young residents enjoy the open-air arcade and large playground.
Stellar Schools
Sunterra is served by two school districts — Katy ISD and Royal ISD. Katy ISD is considered one of Houston’s best — in fact, it is Houston’s best, according to Niche.com. The website gives Katy ISD an all-around A+, with teachers, administration and college prep also earning that top grade.
Sunterra is also served by Royal ISD, a growing school district lauded for its commitment to instructional excellence. Royal ISD boasts big-district programs that are applied with small-district, everyone-knows-your-name attention, including a superior Career & Technical Education, a dedicated STEM program with a Project Lead the Way Designated School recognition, a dual two-way language program, and Gifted & Talented services to name a few.
Both school districts opened new elementary schools in Sunterra last year, including Katy ISD’s Cross Elementary and Royal ISD’s Royal Prairie Elementary.
A Coveted Katy Address
Sunterra boasts that Katy address everyone seems to want, with a location just north of Interstate 10. The Energy Corridor is nearby as well as regional destinations like Katy Mills Mall and Typhoon Texas. Miniature golf and basketball are just down the road at Mary Jo Peckham Park, one of Katy’s most popular parks. Even more, the Grand Parkway can take you to other great destinations around Houston.
A Wide Selection of Homes
Just about everyone can find a home in Sunterra, with floor plans priced from the $200,000s to the $800,000s. First-time home buyers will find plenty of choices, and an even greater selection when they’re ready to move up. An impressive 21 builders offer homes in Sunterra, each selected for their excellence in construction and customer service.
