I am trying to put a list together of the best bang For your $$$ Neighborhoods these neighborhoods are just outside the beltway to inner loop.

 

Top Westbury

On The southwest just outside the loop close to everything.  You can get a totally remodeled 3 or 4 -2 1800sftq to 2500sqft on 8000sqft to 9500 sqft lot for under $250k.  You can even get fixer uppers in decent condition for $75k to $100k. This does not really include Westbury South only the part east of Landsdowne Dr

 

Willowbend

Great neighborhood less than a mile out side the loop on the southwest side.  You can get a totally remodeled 3 or 4 - 2 2200sqft to 2500sqft 8000sqft to 9500sqft lot for $265k to $300k fixer uppers $175 to $225k

 

Riverside Terrace

Great neighborhood about 3 miles east of the med center south of Brase Bayou.  You can get 3000sqft to 4000sqft fixer uppers $200k to $300k on large 10k to 18k sqft lots. You can even find newer built home with in the last 3 to 7 yrs for $250k to $350k.  This is a great neighborhood for anybody looking for a old home that was built in 20s and 30s to fix up

 

Garden Villas

Airpot and Telephone Rd south of Sims Bayou this is a great quite tucked away neighborhood large lots.  You can get 2000sqft to 3000sqft remodeled home on 15k to 40k sqft lot for $225k to $300k.  You can get a 1700sqft to 3000sqft fixer upper on 15k to 40k sqft lot for $85k to $140k.  This neighbor is just far enough away from Hobby that there should be no problem with noise from the planes and there is a lot of trees to help keep the noise down.

 

Glenbroke valley

Another great neighborhood just south of Hobby this has been designated a historic neighborhood homes built in the 50s and 60s.  You can get remodeled 2000sqft to 4000sqft on 8000sqft to 1400sqft lot for $200k to $300k.  Fixer upper 1800sqft to 2500sqft for $110k to $165k.  It really depends one which side of Sims Bayou your looking at north you can get bigger house and much bigger lot south of the bayou house are 400qsft to 800sqft smaller and lots are 1500sqft to 3000sqft smaller.

 

Windsor Village

South Post Oak and Heatherbrook 77085 this neighborhood is only 5 or so miles from the med center.  Neighborhood itself in not that bad really compared to other neighborhood close by.  Some homes in this neighborhood a kinda junk some are pretty nice this neighborhood has not seen any contractors come through yet and flip some homes, I could see this happening within 5 yrs or so.  You can get a nice 1500sqft to 2200sqft on 7000sqft to 9000sqft lot $75k to $90k.  Fixer upper 1500sqft to 2200sqft on 7000sqft to 9000sqft lot $50k to $65k.  The part north of Sims Bayou is the nicest part of the neighborhood once you go south of Tiffany it gets a little sketchy and it is not part of Windsor Village any more.

77087 3 Or 4 Neighborhood combined

This are is East of Mykawa Rd West of Waltrip North of Sims Bayou South of Kingsway this area is like 3 or 4 differenet neighborhoods.   Some parts are really nice other parts are not that great overall this is a great area.  There is also a small part that is nice just north of Andover Park.  You can get 1300sqft to 2800sqft on 6500sqft to 10sqft lot $70k to $125k fixer uppers the bigger homes and bigger lot ones are right next to Andover Park 1300sft to 3000sqft on 7000sqft to 15ksqft lot $40k to $150k

 

These numbers I got them for looking at house listings over the last 2 yr these numbers are not 100% accurate just what I have noticed. These neighborhood are the best bag for your $$$ I have seen from home listings and drive around most of these neighborhoods.  If you want to add to these list plz do
