Meyerland is one of Houston’s most iconic residential neighborhoods, located in southwest Houston, known historically as a hub of the city’s Jewish community. Established in the 1950s and 60s, Meyerland features wide boulevards, large ranch-style homes, and strong neighborhood associations.
The area is served by some of the best public and private schools in the city and offers easy access to Loop 610, the Galleria, and the Texas Medical Center. Meyerland Plaza, a large retail center, serves as a commercial anchor for the community.
Following multiple flooding events, especially during Hurricane Harvey, significant investments have been made in flood control. Despite these challenges, Meyerland has rebounded strongly, with many homes being renovated or elevated.
Culturally rich and community-focused, Meyerland remains a prime destination for families and professionals.
