How The Other Side Lives: Most Expensive Apartments In Houston By Square Footage
A life of luxury can be found in Houston. In fact, although Houston is historically known as a cheap place to live, almost all the apartments delivered last year were on the high-end spectrum.
There is a citywide push to add more multifamily developments to accommodate for population growth, and Houston is one of the cities leading the nation for new multifamily product delivering by year-end.
With data by Apartment Data Services and Transwestern, Bisnow compiled the top 10 highest asking rates per square footage in Space City.
