Over the past several years, Houston's west side has been experiencing immense growth. New and pre-owned home sales have been brisk, and housing values continue to increase. West Houston offers high-quality living, good schools, excellent freeway access and a range of shopping and recreational activity. Demand has exceeded supply of many residences here because of the proximity to freeways, the Galleria complex and the appeal of wooded, established neighborhoods.The West Loop/Galleria area is Houston's "second downtown." Nearby residences are always in demand. This uptown area boasts the city's second skyline with high-rise buildings, including Transco Tower with its magnificent "water wall." Some of Houston's most upscale restaurants and luxury hotels make their home on the west side.
Many varied subdivisions make up the west side of Houston, including Tanglewood and The Memorial Villages. The Spring Branch School District is highly rated. Prices in these neighborhoods start in the $300's up to $10 Million. Retirement communities include Tarrytown, an assisted living complex at the junction of Briar Forest and Dairy Ashford.
Another area on the west side is Katy. Katy is about 30 miles from downtown Houston on the I-10 corridor. In addition to Katy Mills Mall, there are many small shops and boutiques where top-quality, originally-designed craft items can be found. The city is home to many upscale communities including the subdivisions of Cinco Ranch, Weston Lakes, Green Trails, Kelliwood and Nottingham. Housing costs range from $150,000 to $1 million or more.
