Many Houston buyers end up deciding between the energy of the Inner Loop and the space of the Memorial area. Neither is better, but one will likely suit you better.
The Inner Loop
Neighborhoods like the Heights, Montrose, the Museum District and West University Place put you close to Downtown, museums, restaurants and entertainment. Lots tend to be smaller, homes range from historic bungalows to new construction, and many streets are walkable.
The Memorial area
The Memorial Villages and neighboring areas are known for larger wooded lots, quiet streets and a more suburban feel, while still offering quick access to shopping, dining and major employers on the west side.
Questions to help you decide
- Would you rather walk to dinner or have more space around your home?
- How important is a short trip to Downtown versus quick access to the west side?
- Are you drawn to historic character or to newer and larger homes?
- What are your priorities for outdoor space, privacy and parking?
