GUIDE TO HOUSTON’S BEST CONDOS
GUIDE TO HOUSTON'S BEST CONDOS
Houston is home to a great variety of condo options, from luxury full service highrises to boutique midrises and lofts.
Houston’s skyline is adorned with a mix of established luxury high-rises, converted loft buildings, boutique mid-rises, and condominium complexes. The city is home to more than 115 residential high-rise and mid-rise condos.
Condo living is becoming very popular. Next-door living to the city’s best “work-and-play” establishments, lock-and-leave lifestyle, security and full-service amenities are just some of its main benefits.
Buying a condo in Houston can be very challenging due to the sheer variety of options available.
While Houston is in the midst of a new construction boom (contact us to see which buildings have been put on hold), resaleability, location, building amenities (in relation to its HOA fees), condo appreciation rates, and more continue to be key factors condo buyers should watch.
“Paige Martin and her team are highly experienced and very knowledgeable.

Houston Condos by HOA Fees and Amenities
Buying or selling a Houston condo can be quite challenging. We're glad to help! With over $1B in real estate sales, Houston Properties is the # 1 Real Estate Team in Houston.
If you’re considering buying a condo in Houston, make sure that you’re aware of the monthly homeowner association (HOA) fees, their true costs, the benefits you get from being a resident, and the success themes quality buildings share.
It’s also important to note that HOA fees have an impact on financing, as banks will require you to pay both HOA fees and taxes on time (they don’t like 3rd party senior liens). Taxing authorities and homeowners associations can place a lien on your condo unit if you don’t pay their bills.
As such, high HOA fees can become an issue once you resell. Historically, older buildings (from the 1960s to 1980s) have higher fees, mostly due to several amenities, and limited energy efficiency. Some of these buildings also have residents sharing utilities like electricity.
Below, we’ve presented HOA fee trends by building age, Houston neighborhood, and those high-rises that have a pool versus those that don’t.

Houston Condo Appreciation Trends
"The Houston Properties Team under the leadership of Paige Martin, is one of the most successful real estate teams in Texas. Paige and her team takes the pain out of the real estate experience through hard work, proprietary systems and processes, and a deep understanding of the hyper local Houston real estate market. She's ranked #5 in Keller Williams worldwide and #1 in Houston with good reason." – Sandy (Google Review)
There are three critical factors to consider when buying a condo in Houston: the building’s resale history, the building’s median sale price, and the building’s unique personality and atmosphere.
It’s also important to take note of the building’s 10-year and 5-year sales performance, as it’s important to understand how a particular building performed during a downturn.
With over 100 residential buildings from which to choose, buyers should be wary about where to place their investments. Not all Houston condos have performed well over the years.
Some buildings are fantastic, well-managed, have great staff, have solid reserve accounts, and have consistent demand.
By contrast, some buildings suffer from high HOA fees (despite limited amenities), inconsistent management, and have a spotty appreciation track record.
Below, you’ll see the five and ten-year median sale price appreciation (or depreciation) rates from many of Houston’s luxury buildings.

Houston Condos and Highrises Overview
If you’d like to see any specific condo units or learn about residential buildings that are best for you, please contact Paige Martin at [email protected], ranked #1 Individual Agent with Keller Williams in Houston and #9 in the United States.
Condos vs. Townhomes or Single-Family Homes
One of the largest differences between Houston condos and Houston townhomes for sale or Houston Single Family Homes is the underlying asset that you’re actually purchasing.
When you buy a townhome or a single-family home, you own the land (from the center of the earth to infinity above) plus the structure.
When you buy a condo, you’re buying airspace and have shared ownership of common use areas.
As such the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) promulgates a separate contract for condos because they are different entities.
It’s important to use a mortgage broker and realtor who is familiar with condo transactions to help you navigate the buildings, association rules and restrictions, potential deferred maintenance issues at that location, historical trends in that building, resale potential, unique financing requirements, and closing process for condos.
Primary Benefits of Living in a Houston Condo
-
Lock-and-leave lifestyle. The lock-and-leave lifestyle is becoming quite popular as it usually entails no yard work, roof repair, or building or grounds maintenance.
-
Easy accessibility. Houston condos are typically located within the city’s hottest neighborhoods, which means condo residents are usually mere steps away from bustling dining, entertainment, and retail centers, business districts, and main roads and freeways.
-
Security. Many residential buildings in Houston offer 24-hour staff and security, controlled entrances, secure parking, and security cameras.
-
Building amenities. Building amenities vary, but many luxury high-rises offer tennis courts, swimming pools, saunas, theater rooms, fitness centers, rooftop decks, and more.
-
Full-service amenities. Houston’s most expensive condos can offer white-glove services: concierge, porter, and valet services; trash and dry cleaning pick-up, shuttle services, and others.
-
Like-minded neighbors. Living in a Houston high-rise offers a great way to meet like-minded people. Many condos have “resident committees” and social groups that arrange events and gatherings.
Primary Drawbacks (compared to Houston Townhomes or Houston Single Family Homes)
-
Monthly maintenance fees. The staff and amenities are great but come with a fee. Monthly maintenance fees pay for shared expenses. Be sure to weigh the costs versus benefits before you buy a condo and be wary of certain buildings that have large deferred maintenance issues.
-
Neighbors. Neighbors can turn into great friends. There are, however, some people who aren’t good neighbors. Look for condos with good soundproofing (and/or limited units per floor).
-
Converted units. Be wary of buildings that were originally built as apartments as the quality of construction can be inferior.
-
Associations. Residents elect a Board of Directors to manage the building’s business and to establish and enforce building policies. Condo residents are part of a community, subject to community guidelines and restrictions. Knowing the guidelines before buying is imperative (especially if you have pets).
A great Houston condo Realtor can help guide you with reviewing maintenance fees and building policies.
