Condos boast 24-hour security, parking spaces, pristine grounds, and rooftop decks. Private tennis courts, saunas, and fitness centers are commonplace.


World-Class Entertainment:

The Galleria is renowned as Houston’s premier shopping destination. It's a bustling hub of over 425 restaurants and shopping outlets, making it a hotspot for retail therapy and dining experiences.


Key Business Area:

Alongside Downtown, the Galleria is a major job center in Houston, offering more than 23 million square feet of leasable office space. Corporations like Baker Hughes Company have their headquarters here, with other major companies like Exxon nearby.


Variety of Home Options:

The Galleria area is comprised of several distinct communities and subdivisions, presenting a wide array of housing choices. Beyond high-rise condos, you'll find townhomes, patio homes, and custom-built new constructions. Some neighborhoods are gated and governed by deed restrictions.


Strong Appreciation:

Galleria homes span a broad price range, from around $100,000 to over $4,000,000. The Galleria is known for its robust Land Value Appreciation, cementing its status as one of Houston's premier neighborhoods.
