  • Post Oak Plaza HOUSTON, TEXAS
    Post Oak Plaza HOUSTON, TEXAS Post Oak Plaza is located in the heart of Uptown, Houston’s most vibrant and valuable mixed use region. LEVCOR.COM Post Oak Plaza 1701 Post Oak Boulevard • Houston, TX, 77056 Post Oak Plaza is a prime retail project surrounded by Houston’s most attractive upscale buyers in the heart of Uptown / The Galleria area. Arguably at Houston’s most valuable corner, Post Oak Blvd and San Felipe Rd, the project enjoys being a part of an immediate region with thriving growth, constant new residential construction, outstanding consumer income levels, and <5 min access to three major freeway thoroughfares - I-610 W (307,000 cpd), US-59 (341,000 cpd) and I-10 (338,000 cpd). In addition, the project is located seconds away from The Galleria, Houston’s premier shopping destination that has more than 30 million visitors each year and just recently completed a $250mm renovation adding an additional 130,000 SF of retail, increasing the total retail space to 2.4mm SF. Median household income levels in nearby wealthy neighborhoods - Uptown, The Memorial Villages, River Oaks, and West University - are $90,000 - $120,000. In addition, the Uptown business district is only surpassed by Downtown Houston and the Texas Medical Center, which both do not contain close to the same level of residential and retail development as Uptown. Uptown truly is Houston’s most dynamic mixed use region.

    GUIDE TO HOUSTON’S BEST NEIGHBORHOODS Paige Martin Broker Associate Keller Williams Realty 713-384-5177 [email protected] Benefits Of Buying A Home In Houston 1. Houston homeownership builds wealth over time. Houston is the #1 US city for job creation. Long-term, property values increase as employment grows in the area. Six “Close In” Houston neighborhoods posted at least 10% appreciation per year over the past few years. 2. You build equity every month. Equity is the amount of money you can sell a house for minus what you still owe on it. Every mortgage payment reduces the amount you owe, and increases your equity and investment. 3. You receive tax benefits. The tax code allows homeowners to deduct home-related expenses from their income tax obligations like: mortgage interest, closing cost deductions, and interest on home equity loans. Property tax is also deductible for income tax purposes. Houston homeowners also have Homestead Exemptions. 4. Owning real estate allows you to diversify your investment portfolio. Houston has 5.9 million people in the MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) as of the last census. Houston’s Area Council expects this to grow to around 7.6 million by 2025. Owning real estate poised to take advantage of this growth trend can offer value for your portfolio. 5. Buying now allows you to take advantage of record-low mortgage rates. Interest rates are at historic lows: below 4% for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage and below 3.25% for a 15-year term. The Fed has committed unprecedented capital to reducing interest rates, benefiting current homebuyers and homeowners looking to refinance.
