The inner 610 loop has seen influx of gentrification in the past decade with no end in sight. This is good for the city, but it obviously creates some ethical concerns for historic neighborhoods such as 3rd Ward.
Houston’s middle class and above moved outwards and outwards throughout the 80s and 90s and even early 2000s. However, Millennials/Gen Z appear to want to be CLOSER to the city.
I anticipate home values to increase not just in the 610 Loop, but also inside the Sam Houston Tollway/Beltway 8.
Sadly, public transportation still is Houston’s enemy. We are still very much a sprawled out, vehicle-driven city.
100% more of the same, but hotter! Houston is a lot of things as a city Forward thinking is not one of them. Oh we’ll also be 15 years closer to sprawling out and officially just merging with Austin,San Antonio and DFW to be the world’s biggest megalopolis.
Honestly surprised that the greenery around the Golf Club of Houston hasn’t been turned into a mansions galore considering its prime for a country club
I just hope it doesn’t turn into a wood biomass plant or something that just wastes space
Oh that’s their buffer from the teaming masses and riff-raff, as well as to give the “appearance” on TV of oh what a lovely wooded area such is Houston!!!
As someone with property close to UH i hope that we get high property values. That land is worth so much more than what it was worth. And i hope that UH can be surrounded by houses like west U or even better. With an entertainment district in there somewhere.
There are a number of mid rise residential/mixed use towers planned and i especially see Kirby going through a mid- high rise boom. I expect Kirby from River Oaks to 59 to be our mini version of Broadway.
There are a number of those projects on the board right now once they get through this financing freeze.
Only area still in the Stone ages is that elusive University district adjacent to the University of Houston.
