Is the Southbelt/Ellington area any good?
Hi everyone!
I am new to BP and starting to do some research on good neighborhoods to invest in Houston for cashflow. I am an out of state investor, so have been researching using online resources only.
The Southbelt/Ellington area came up on my radar as it has low crime rate, walkable neighborhood (based on walk score) and prices are within my price range (~$300k).
Does anyone know the area well or has invested here? Would love any insights from Houston locals.
Is there enough demand for rentals? Is it a growing area? How is the flood risk? Any factors to watch out for that make it a good/bad?
Thank you!
"Any good" is a very relative question. I grew up in the area and know it very well and would invest there.
There are parts of it that are in the 100 year flood zone, generally by the bayous/ditches, so need to be careful.
