“Yolanda Ames with the Houston Properties Team has been nothing but an absolute pleasure working with. Having had less than stellar experiences with realtors before, Yolanda couldn’t be more of the opposite. She provided information that was helpful not only on the buying front but also the selling front down the line. Whenever something came up that she wasn’t positive about she used her resources to find the answer for me. I am thankful to have found an agent that shares the same commitment to excellence and beyond. This was my first home purchase and look forward to working with her continually down the line.” - Shah Islam (Google Review)

Ventana Lakes TX History

The area covering Ventana was called Cane Island in the early 1800s.

The community's location was once part of a vast expanse of grassland. It was hard attracting settlers during this time due to the land’s underdeveloped soils and relentless heat.

During the late 1800s, the area became a railroad town. It underwent rapid growth during the past decades and established a plan to build a city.

In the 1900s, families from outside the state started moving in and building farms and ranches in the surrounding area.

The completion of Interstate 10 encouraged further developments. It connected the area to key districts and attracted movement into the land.

D.R.Horton later developed a 480-acre plot of land in what was later called Katy. It was crafted into a master-planned community and is now known as Ventana Lakes.
