Which neighborhoods are included: Inner Loop, Galleria and Memorial-area neighborhoods we cover where at least one HAR neighborhood has a 2025 median market value of $1 million or more (HAR.com 2025 facts, appraisal district values). The rule is about appraised values, not quality.
Where the numbers come from: home statistics are HAR.com 2025 neighborhood facts (market value is the appraisal district’s figure, not a sale price); HOA dues only from the association or its manager; tax rates only from a tax office, appraisal district or the district itself. A dash means we could not confirm the figure from an official source. Each neighborhood’s own guide links every source. No rankings: the order is alphabetical until you sort.
