Welcome to Northside Houston
Home to generational families, Ryon is a part of Houston's Northside, just over 3 miles east of trendy Houston Heights. Northside was established in the 1880s alongside the Hardy Rail Yards, but development declined following World War II. After the 2020 lockdown, interest in the area picked up as people sought homes just outside the city. "The southern portion of Ryon is called Hardy Yards, and it's the area closest to downtown," says regional expert and Houston local Realtor Roland Bodden of Greenwood King Properties. "Closer to Hardy Yards, you see a lot of commercial development starting to grow from the Heights area." Though Northside's population is around 25,000, locals say it has a small-town feeling. "That's what I've noticed about Northside. Somebody always knows somebody," says local Hugo Garcia, the recreation facility manager at the Moody Community Center. While properties skyrocket into the millions in The Heights, real estate remains modest in Ryon. "The revitalization process has been going on for about four years," says Monique Howard, a lifelong Ryon resident and the director of the Ryon Civic Association. "There were a lot of vacant lots that had been torn down and replaced with brand-new houses."

Taking the Hardy Toll Road
Proximity is one of the perks of living in Ryon. “It’s right in the middle of everything,” Howard says. “You can access downtown and Interstates 610, 69 and 45 within about five minutes. That’s a big draw to the neighborhood.” In addition to these interstates, it's less than 3 miles along the Hardy Toll Road to downtown Houston. Though the light rail is just south of Ryon and plenty of bus stops exist in the neighborhood, Bodden says most people drive. Local houses of worship include St Patrick Catholic Church on Cochran Street and Iglesia Bautista El Calvario on Griffin Street. William P. Hobby Airport is around 15 miles southeast along I-45. A range of medical facilities are available in the Medical Center Area of Houston, just over 7 miles southwest along the same route.
A light rail stop is located at the corner of Cavalcade and Fulton streets for Ryon residents.

Fresh finds at the Houston Farmers Market
Retail is slim, but Bodden says Ryon will likely have more options as residential development continues to ramp up. There are a few neighborhood stores to pick up something quick, including Pepe's Supermarket, a small grocery store on Chapman Street, and Family Dollar on Cavalcade Street. There are just a handful of local eateries, including Big Boy's BBQ off Griffin Street and Panaderia Lucero, a Mexican bakery. Ray Ray's Sports Bar is the place for drinks and live music on the weekends. Locals are just over 2 miles from the Houston Farmers Market on Airline Drive, the city's oldest and largest, open daily from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For a big-box grocer, it's just 5 miles or less to an H-E-B or Kroger.

Ryon's vintage Craftsman's and modern row houses
According to Cesar Martinez of BlueRoof Real Estate, a developer and Realtor with 10 years of experience working in Houston, Ryon's streets are typical of this city. "You can drive one block and be in the prettiest spot, and then drive another and be somewhere industrial, and in another, you'll be somewhere modern." The neighborhood's vintage homes are priced from the $100,000s to the $300,000s and mostly date back to the '40s and '50s. New construction, ranging from the $200,000s to the mid- $400,000s, mirrors the neighborhood's earliest Craftsman cottages but also brings in a new look with modern row -house options. Martinez says flooding is not an issue in Ryon, compared to places like Bellaire, where houses are built 8 feet above ground for safety precautions. "You'd be surprised. Some of Houston's most expensive neighborhoods are more prone to flooding than anything." The CAP Index Crime Score here is 7 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4. Houston is working to reduce crime citywide by bolstering neighborhood watch initiatives, aka "Civilian Patrol" programs.

Scholarships at the Bayou Village School
Houston Independent School District participates in school choice, so parents may apply to send their kids to any school in the district. Nearby schools that students may attend are Martinez C. Elementary School, Marshall Middle School and Northside High School. All three schools earn a C rating from Niche. The nonprofit Bayou Village School is a local Waldorf-inspired institution serving preschool through to sixth grade. While it’s not a part of the Houston school choice program, it does make its facility accessible through scholarships. According to Natalie Beasley, the Bayou Village’s administrative assistant, it administered $70,000 to $90,000 worth of aid in the past two years.
C Martinez Elementary School has a low 13:1 student to teacher ratio in Ryon.

Community spirit in Ryon
As Ryon welcomes new faces, it looks after its core community. The Ryon Civic Association holds various social events to benefit neighbors, including a school supply drive. The association sometimes invites government officials to listen to residents' concerns. "We have had the Houston Food Bank come in occasionally and distribute produce and canned goods," Howard says. "Every third Sunday of the month, meals are distributed to the community." The association also organizes specific holiday events, including a toy drive in December.
