Southampton is located near West University Place and Southside Place. It has Upper Kirby and River Oaks to the north and Rice University to the east.
From Southampton, you have easy access to Downtown and Uptown Houston, the Medical Center, and the Museum District. Memorial Park is also accessible through Kirby Drive and Memorial Drive.
Aside from being close to West University, these are the reasons the prices of property in the Southampton area have been going up in recent years.
By combining the peace and quiet of a residential neighborhood while still giving residents quick access to the city, Southampton is seriously considered by many people looking to buy homes.
One important reason the community has remained a purely residential neighborhood is the strict deed restrictions and the very active Southampton Civic Club.
The deed restrictions limit constructions in Southampton to single family homes, with explicit restrictions on commercial establishments, apartments, townhomes, and condominiums.
With the Southampton Civic Club enforcing these restrictions, the result is that the Southampton neighborhood has retained its communal feel and ambience. Further, these restrictions made it possible for old homes to retain their charm and appearance, to be enjoyed by new generations of homeowners.
So, if you’re looking for a great neighborhood and an active community that you can become a part of, then Southampton can certainly offer these to you.
