Meyerland is just outside the loop
Meyerland Area offers a family-friendly bubble just beyond downtown Houston where kids cycle down shaded streets toward playgrounds, local schools boast magnet programs, and nearby shops and restaurants bring fun and convenience. The Brays Bayou passes through the neighborhood with a corresponding hiking and biking trail. It's serene during the dry months but prone to flooding when it rains. "Meyerland is, unfortunately, first and foremost known for the three floods it had from 2015 to 2017. They changed the look of Meyerland. What they didn't change is the neighborhood quality," says Realtor Vikki Evans of Compass – an expert in the region. "The schools are exemplary. People move to go to these schools." Meyerland is just outside Interstate 610, "the loop," but close enough for convenient trips all around Houston. Homes here have seen a 2% appreciation rate since 2023, and homebuyers can still find various prices here to fit different budgets.
Meyerland is the place where big city living meets bayou city nature.

Most homes in Meyerland are raised
Meyerland upholds its suburban standards through deed restrictions and the Meyerland Community Improvement Association. Annual homeowner fees are split into security and maintenance categories. Security is a locked-in fee of around $290; maintenance depends on property value and can range anywhere from $480 to $870. Most Meyerland homes are traditional brick ranch-style homes with three to four bedrooms ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Most homes have been flooded once or twice and remodeled into raised-style ranches due to past flooding. New constructions are also built in a raised style, with large concrete basement garages. A brand-new home like that could cost over $1 million in Meyerland, while a modest range might begin in the $300,000s. A 2,6000-square-foot farmhouse-style cottage that's been completely renovated may cost over $500,000. Properties spend around 34 days on the market, faster than the national average of 41.
Many homes in Meyerland are have been raised to prevent damage during floods.

Shlenker School, the oldest Reform Jewish school in Texas
Students in Meyerland are served by the Houston Independent School District. "Homes are zoned. In Chimney Rock, you'll go to Lovett Elementary – an A plus rated school. On the other side of Chimney Rock, you're going to Herod – which is also a great school," says Evans. Lovett and Herod elementary schools offer fine art magnet programs. Meyerland Performing and Visual Arts Middle School, rated B minus by Niche, is also an acclaimed magnet school. Students may also attend Bellaire High School, ranked A by Niche. Meyerland is also home to the renowned Shlenker School, the oldest Reform Jewish school in Texas.
Graduates from Bellaire High School go on to pursue successful careers.

Godwin Park and more green spaces
Meyerland Area has four parks. A neighborhood favorite is Godwin Park, which provides open space, a community center, shade from mature oaks, restrooms and water. Nearby Meyerland Park features fun nautical-themed play equipment, including the crowd's favorite concrete whale slide for toddlers. The bayou trail is always there as well. The bayou is also becoming less and less of a threat. "The city has prioritized widening the bayous so they can hold more water and the work on the drainage. We haven't had extensive flooding since Harvey."
Godwin Parks's playground is a popular destination after school in Meyerland.
Meyerland Park has tennis courts that you can use year round.
Meyerland Plaza Shopping Center, on its namesake road, has a Target and Target Grocery, a Starbucks, Marshalls, JCPenney and more. "Fadi's is a Mediterranean spot that's been there since the plaza was renovated and rebuilt in the 40s. It's very popular with everybody," Evans says. Evan's says they recently opened an H-E-B there for another grocery option. Locals can head to the Galleria anytime. It's just 5 miles north on Westheimer Road, and it's one of the largest shopping malls in Houston.
Meyerland residents can grab fill all their grocery needs at H-E-B.

Close to downtown Houston

Meyerland is also home to several synagogues, including Congregation Beth Israel – a reform synagogue – and Congregation Beth Yeshurun – a conservative synagogue. Located a stone's throw from Interstate 10, Interstate 59 and Interstate 610, Meyerland Area nearly eliminates the expense and stress of a long commute. William P. Hobby is 13 miles from Meyerland via "the loop." According to Evans, most hop in their cars to get around.

It can be really unsafe to walk around at night in certain parts of the city - in the better neighborhoods, it's usually pretty safe, but I would certainly not feel comfortable walking around alone at night.

Though the architecture and design could be more attractive, the area is generally clean and nice looking. Close to many good restaurants and things to do, many parks nearby and great schools.

Lots of chain stores with some mom & pop. You can pretty much find anything you could possibly need or want within a 5 mile radius.

Samurai is my favorite restaurant in the area. It provides some of the best sushi I have every eaten and I enjoy sitting at the Hibachi tables. The waiters are friendly and I always look forward to going.
