Houston Mid/High-Rises For Sale

Over the next decade, the U.S. population will grow by 30 million people. Meanwhile, our buildable land supply continues to shrink.  Add the following three major confluences to this tension between supply and demand: current growth management restrictions designed to curb sprawl and preserve rapidly diminishing forest, farm and water habitat; worsening traffic congestion; and a lifestyle shift whereby we now value free time and convenience above almost all else.

The result will be an inevitable shift toward high-density, high-rise urban housing.

It’s not for everyone, but converts to high-rise living swear by it as a vastly superior alternate to living in suburbia. What is it that most appeals to those that convert to living in the sky? The primary incentive appears to be time. Daily commutes rob us of valuable personal time, cultural opportunities and community life. When precious free time can be spent enjoying the things we value most — instead of fighting traffic — our quality of life improves. Not having to be a slave to one’s house or car can be liberating.
