11 Of The Best Houston Neighborhoods In Accessibility & Walkability Looking for the best restaurants, shopping, and entertainment? Tired of traffic? See "Houston's Walkable Neighborhoods" for 2020.

Many people in Houston feel that traffic is the worst problem facing the city, according to the 38th annual study from Rice’s Kinder Institute. Traffic (36%) topped the “Biggest Problems Facing The City” list, outranking Crime (15%), Economy (11%), and Flooding (7%).(1)

In addition, Houston’s population is expected to grow by more than 12% to 7.4 million people by 2020.(2)(3)

While dynamic growth is always a good thing, this implies that Houston traffic is likely to get worse over the next decade.

One of my clients summed up the challenge well:

To answer that, we looked at the following to determine the most accessible neighborhoods in Houston:

Analyzed the “Best Restaurants” lists from Houston Chronicle (4) (5) (6) (7)

Compared studies from Forbes (“The Most Walkable Major Cities in Texas”), Houston Chronicle Walkability Study, “Walkable Urban Places,” “Most Walkable Houston Neighborhood,” “Walkable Neighborhoods in Houston,” and “WalkUp.”

Assessed venues that make up The New York Times claim that Houston is “one of the great eating capitals of America.” (8)

Overlaid top-ranked grocery stores.

Compared neighborhoods with Houston’s Best Public School Guide.

Interviewed dozens of our clients to find out where they love living without needing a car.

We also researched the median sales prices of single-family homes, townhomes, and condos in each of these Most Accessible Neighborhoods so you can see which is right for your budget.

“Paige Martin is the best Realtor. She is highly experienced and very knowledgeable. She made our buying experience an enjoyable one, not only for us, but for our daughter, son-in-law and several of our friends. She knows which neighborhoods are the best in all categories, and which ones we should avoid. We highly recommend her and The Houston Properties Team.” — Jeremy & Lyn Greene

Where To Live On Your Budget: Houston’s Walkable Neighborhoods

For a customized approach to your home buying or selling experience, contact Paige Martin, the #1 Individual Agent with Keller Williams in the State of Texas and team lead of The Houston Properties Team.

The above table shows the 2020 median sale prices for single-family homes, townhomes & condos in Houston’s “walkable neighborhoods,” areas that are on this list of the best Houston neighborhoods with high accessibility.

DISCLAIMER: These are median values. The “premier streets” within each neighborhood typically sell at a premium to these prices. Also, it is very important to be cautious of locations that are near a major thoroughfare or railroad track because such proximity hurts resale. Likewise, be wary of buying from builders that have poor quality reputations as the quality of construction can vary widely and adversely affect home values.

If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in any of the top Houston places with accessible homes in these Inner Loop neighborhoods or at any other area within the “best walkable neighborhoods of Houston,” contact Paige Martin, one of the top-ranked Realtors in the world and lead of the Houston Properties Team to get candid advice on the best homes and neighborhoods for you.

https://www.houston.org/living/

Median home sale prices were calculated by HAR MLS Geo Market area, HAR MLS Master Planned Community Designation, or HAR MLS subdivision based on data from January 1 – December 31, 2019.

All median Houston home value information was sourced by the HAR MLS database.

*Default median housing price values are from single-family homes, except these neighborhoods (where condos, townhomes and single-family homes are considered due to the fact that there’s an above average of condos/townhomes in these market areas.) These exception neighborhoods include: Braeswood Place, Rice/Museum District, Memorial West, Midtown, Downtown, EaDo, Memorial Close In, and Medical Center.

For monthly PITI (principal, interest, taxes and insurance) the following assumptions were used: 20% down payment, 4.2% interest rate, 30 year mortgage, 2.54% effective property tax rate, 0.5% annual insurance cost based on the median sale price, no PMI. Monthly PITI costs were generated, using those assumptions, from http://www.mortgagecalculator.org/

For annual appreciation or depreciation salary requirement rates, we did not make any modifications based on the most recent tax reform act. We assumed taxes rates were constant in our calculations between monthly PITI costs and salary requirements.

For “can comfortably afford” salary assumptions, we used that 28% of gross income could be used toward monthly PITI costs.

Financial planners often say that 25-33% of income can be used toward monthly PITI payments. For qualification purposes underwriters typically defer to their “back end” ratio which includes liabilities on credit reports (all revolving, installment, and mortgage liabilities). For this ratio 36% is normally used in planning and around 43% is around the maximum allowed. Contact your mortgage provider for specifics, or contact me for mortgage provider recommendations.

Data is deemed accurate, but is not guaranteed. Information is provided for informational purposes only.

If you’d like to see any neighborhoods, master planned communities or subdivisions added to this bi-annually updated watch list, please let me know.
