Houston has a neighborhood for every family, including those who embrace urban living. The Galleria is one of Houston’s primary landmarks, a Mecca for international shoppers (and landmarks with several diplomatic missions in the area), an aggregate of culture, fashion and food. Beautiful Uptown Houston boasts beautiful suburbs all around the area and luxury apartments for the business-minded family.
This neighborhood seems particularly appealing to singles and new families. There is an average of about 2 people per household and a median income of around 90k, according to City Data. In addition, the average value of houses in the area is around $835k, and the median rent is about $1050/mo.
However, though it is primarily a business district with some outlying suburbs and lots of shopping square-footage, the average resident is aged 40 for both men and women. Opportunities to make new friends and start a new life in Houston abound, and a crowd of primarily adults ensures the area is a good place to look. Uptown Park itself is the perfect place to network, shop, dine and embrace what the neighborhood has to offer.
The Houston Independent School District serves the children of Uptown, but there are numerous private schools nearby for parents to choose from, including The Kinkaid School, St. John’s School, St. Michael School and The Awty International School, which boasts a big reputation for its diversity and advancements.
Though the residential population in the area is pretty homogenous at 80% white, no less than 13 diplomatic missions from Qatar to Korea are located in the area. There’s something for everyone in Uptown Houston, parks, shops, prestigious schools and a mature urban lifestyle.
