Houston’s Up and Coming Neighborhoods

Independence Heights

This tight-knit area is one of the famed Inner Loop’s up-and-coming residential hotspots worth exploring now. Independence Heights is historically home to blue-collar, middle-class homeowners and despite recent developments in the area, the average price for single-family homes remains lower than its Shady Acres, Shepherd Park Plaza, and Northside Village neighbors. Homeowners seeking friendlier property prices continue to flock in here but the true value of this little gem of a town is in the top-ranking schools serving the area as well as a growing number of studios that cater to its budding art scene.

Westview Terrace

Another close-knit spot located just a little over 12 miles west of downtown Houston, Westview Terrace is starting the catch the attention of would-be residents because of an old-town vibe teeming with beautiful parks, wonderful playgrounds, and luscious greens. Loop 610 gives easy access to commercial hubs such as the Galleria and the Energy Corridor. The area is mostly served by the Spring Independent School District making it one of the more popular choices for families with kids. It’s also one of the more affluent neighborhoods in the Spring area but you can easily spot a single-family home worth $250,000.

Greater Third Ward

Not only is it one of the six original historic districts in the city akin to New York’s Boroughs, but Greater Third Ward is also one of, if not the most vibrant and culturally diverse neighborhoods in Southeast Houston. It’s home to one of the most iconic music studios in the country – The Sugar Hill Recording Studios – as well as the campuses for Texas Southern University and the University of Houston. Homes here usually cost $300,000 but property values continue to appreciate and the area’s historic nature has also inspired development projects in recent years.
