Community Guide

Living in Houston, Texas

Houston is the largest city in Texas and the core of the metro, and its listings outnumber those of any other city on this site several times over. Oak Forest, the Heights and Westbury lead the subdivision counts, and townhomes and condos make up a far larger share here than in the suburbs.

Get to know Houston

Welcome to Houston

Houston ISD serves most of the city, with a dozen other districts at the edges. The housing stock spans every decade since the 1920s; the median listing dates from the 1980s, and the largest price band sits below $300K.

A meaningful minority of listings sit inside a FEMA special flood hazard area — the zone is on every listing here. This is subdivision-lot territory: most homes sit on conventional lots of well under a quarter acre. New construction is a meaningful slice of the listings, but most of what sells is resale, and the median home for sale dates from the 1980s. Townhomes and condos account for a noticeable share of what is listed, unusual for the outer metro. Our MLS feed drives every figure on this page, refreshed hourly.

Housing Mix
Houston listings span a range of price bands, build years and lot sizes; the live figures on this page show the current mix rather than a fixed description.

Price per Square Foot
Price per square foot in Houston is tracked live from our MLS feed, alongside median sale price, days on market and months of inventory.
Subdivisions & HOAs
Where a Houston subdivision carries an HOA, the dues and the pools, trails or amenity centers they fund appear on each listing.
Houston Access
Drive times from Houston to Houston's major job centers are shown on the commute panel of this page.
Shopping & Dining
Grocery, retail and dining locations near Houston are plotted on the amenity map below.

The Houston real estate market

What the numbers mean

Not just numbers — what they tell you. Median price, how fast homes really sell, where prices are heading, and which neighborhoods are heating up. Live from our MLS feed, with Allen's plain-English read.

5.8Months of inventoryfor sale now vs. last 6 months of sales

Balanced market

Houston is a balanced market right now — about 5.8 months of inventory, yet roughly 38% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. The median home sells around $317,968, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 119 days.

Each figure is compared with the same period last year. Where last year's data isn't in our feed yet, you'll see "—".

How this works: each dot is a school in Houston (location from our schools dataset); ratings are 2025 Texas Education Agency accountability grades. Homes-for-sale counts are live from the AWS MLS feed (active & pending, residential), matched to each school by its zoned-school name. The shaded areas are high-school attendance zones — the only attendance boundaries published for this district.

Ratings = 2025 Texas Education Agency accountability grades (A–F). Newer campuses may be unrated.

Everything that makes Houston home

Restaurants, parks, grocery, schools, hospitals and more — mapped across the area. Toggle a category on or off, click any pin for details, and flip on the FEMA flood layer to see exactly where the flood plain sits.

Flood zones (FEMA)

Only on AllenMarkel.com

Build a home search that excludes — or includes — the flood plain. Your call.

Flood zones affect your insurance cost, not whether a home is a bad buy — and we're the only site that lets you filter them right out of your search (or zero in on them). Two homes on the same street can sit in different zones; we show real exposure on every listing.

Search with the flood filter

The honest picture

We surface the real federal flood-claim history for any area you're considering — context, not scare tactics. Risk is very address-specific, and we walk through each home's exact exposure with you before you ever make an offer.

Neighborhoods & communities

Houston isn't one market
it's dozens

Houston spans 1216+ active communities — each with its own pricing, amenities and feel. Search the list or explore the map — hover either one and the other lights up, with live numbers for that neighborhood.

Layered communities: in Houston, smaller neighborhoods often sit inside a larger master-planned community — so those homes pay two HOA fees, and the MLS lists both. Where footprints overlap on the map, click the same spot more than once to step through the stacked HOAs (smallest first).

Search a community

1216 of 1216 communities

How this works: footprints are the convex hull of each community's listings over the last five years (active plus sold) — a denser, more representative outline from our own data, but still an approximation, not a surveyed HOA boundary. Numbers (active, pending, avg price, new-30d) are live from the AWS MLS feed for Houston, residential for-sale only. 1216 communities with 3+ active listings shown.

The AI advantage

AI Certified Agent™ 2.0

Allen pairs real MLS data with AI to price sharper, market smarter, and move at the speed real estate rewards — built on systems he engineered himself, in-house.

Selling with AI

AI helps us pinpoint your most likely buyer, speak their language, and reach more qualified buyers. The moment someone inquires on your home we respond fast and follow up relentlessly — so your home stays top of mind until it sells.

One integrated system, not ten

Most agents rent a dozen disconnected tools. Allen built his own end-to-end system in-house — the website, the live property search, the client database, the follow-up and the marketing, all under one roof. It's why everything just works together.
