The Galleria and Uptown area is one of the largest urban centers in Texas outside Downtown. Anchored by The Galleria shopping center, Post Oak Boulevard and office towers such as Williams Tower, it combines work, shopping, hospitality and residential living in one district.
The feel
This is a lifestyle for people who want restaurants, retail and services close at hand. Uptown Park and the surrounding streets offer walkable pockets, and Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou are nearby for green space.
Homes you will find
Expect luxury high-rise condominiums, mid-rise residences and townhomes. Buildings vary widely in age, amenities, views and services, from full-service towers to quieter boutique addresses.
Good to know
- Compare HOA dues and what they include, along with the building’s reserves and any planned assessments.
- Ask about rental rules, pet policies, parking and guest access before you fall in love with a unit.
- Traffic is part of life here, so test the commute and weekend traffic for yourself.
Good to know: school zoning, flood zones and deed restrictions are specific to each address. Always verify them for any property you are considering.
