Location, location, location! 

 

Choosing the neighborhood where you will live for probably the rest of your life is complicated. You should consider safety, opportunities, distance from your workplace, transport, etc. 

 

If you are considering buying a home in Houston, I wanted to make it easier for you by listing 5 of the best neighborhoods to buy a home (if you are a first-time home buyer). 

 

MIDTOWN is a safe and affordable neighborhood just a five minutes drive from Downtown Houston. It is home to some of Houston’s best bars and nightlife. What most people love about this neighborhood is that you can never run out of activities here. If you want to live an active life, Midtown is the right neighborhood. 

 

EAST END is located just east of downtown. It is one of the best places to live in Houston. This historic neighborhood still features structures and landmarks built in the 1800s; Houston home buyers can also find new construction and modern restaurants and breweries in this revitalized area. East End is close to the University of Houston and Texas Southern University, making it an ideal location for anyone studying (or considering doing so).

 

GREATER HEIGHTS is filled with many housing options, from classic Victorians and quaint bungalows to large Craftsman-style homes and modern condos. This neighborhood offers plenty of green space along the White Oak Bayou Greenway and access to excellent schools.

 

SPRING BRANCH is the favorite neighborhood of everyone who wants to raise a family. Located in West Houston, Spring Branch provides serenity away from the busy downtown area. This quiet neighborhood offers newer townhomes and ranch-style homes along with top-rated schools.

 

MONTROSE is also known as “The Heart of Houston” for the eclectic spirit and welcoming atmosphere everyone can find there. It is filled with cozy boutiques, eye-popping street art, and trendy restaurants, and its proximity to Downtown Houston makes it a hot spot, especially for young people! There are all kinds of townhomes, bungalows, and cottages to choose from in this neighborhood.
