Over the past several years, Houston's west side has been experiencing
immense growth. New and pre-owned home sales have been brisk. Housing
values continue to increase as demand has increased. West Houston
offers high quality living, good schools, excellent freeway access
and a range of shopping and recreational activity. West Loop is known
for its high-rise buildings (including Transco Tower with its 64 stories),
a concentration of fine restaurants and luxury hotels. The West Loop
area, in short, is Houston's second downtown, or "uptown"
as it's called. This uptown area boasts the city's second skyline.
Residences "close to the Loop" are always in demand.
