Houston Luxury Condos For Sale | Houston Penthouses
Upscale Houston condos are a mix of old and new—from established residential buildings like the Houstonian, Bayou Bend Towers, and Four Leaf Towers to newer and upcoming buildings like the Belfiore, 2727 Kirby, and the Royalton.
Houston’s most expensive condos are mostly within the Galleria, River Oaks, Briar Hollow, and the Museum District area. These are among the city’s most accessible neighborhoods and among the most vibrant as well.
Typically, there are less than 30 Houston luxury condos for sale listed at over $1M at any given time.
However, an influx of upscale high-rises built in the past decade (some still under development) have added a few more options.
There are certain upsides to buying a Houston luxury condo for sale, including a wider range of amenities (some with full service), great locations, and high accessibility. (See also Luxury Condos That Have Been The Best Investments)
