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.
