As the 4th largest US city and the largest Texas city, understanding Houston real estate can be overwhelming even for locals. Many locals may know that West University is west of Rice University and not in West Houston? We make it easy. We break Houston into 4 major geographies: Inner Loop, Outer Loop, Grand Parkway Loop and Metro Houston. Then we divide each geography by compass direction: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W & NW.

Or search A List areas by name.

5 Major Highways

We use the following 5 major highways as reference points:

1-10 traverses Houston East to West.
I-45 runs North to South.
I-610 is the interior/ original Houston ring road. It is referred to as the "Inner Loop." Everything INSIDE the Inner Loop is referred to as "Inner Loop."
The Sam Houston Tollway is the second ring road. It is referred to as the "Outer Loop." Everything OUTSIDE of the Inner Loop AND INSIDE the Sam Houston Tollway is referred to as the "Outer Loop."
The Grand Parkway is the third ring road. It is referred to as the "Grand Parkway." Development is occurring inside and outside of the Grand Parkway. Everything OUTSIDE of the Outer Loop to 5 miles OUTSIDE of the Grand Parkway is referred to as the "Grand Parkway Loop."

We then use the 8 primary compass directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W & NW
