I know that we've got a few folks on the forum that are in the know. Is anyone other than me a bit concerned about where the in-town apartment market is going to end up in 2008? I'm looking at construction stats, then looking at absorption and occupancy stats, and they don't exactly match.
Granted that the Katrina mess completely clouded the true workings of the market, and granted that energy and medical are going gangbusters, but...
...am I just paranoid or is this really happening? How many units can we fill?I'm an apartment locator and I'm finding that the college students are competing for availability of the inner loop apartments. Parents are willing to shell out the bucks
to put them there versus living at home and paying the gas prices to commute. My concern will be the broken leases from not being able to maintain their lifestyle that the parents started. Many that are new to town are intrigued with the rail system versus buses and want to be in apartments along the rail line.The suburb housing market is noticing a change, in some areas, due to the influctuation of evacuees that have taken over the older, lower renting apartment units. I've seen a rise of older couples selling their home and requesting a loft in the city. Some don't want to drive on the highways anymore.
There are over 900 units in three complexes being built in the Woodlands area. The demand has already exceeded the supply. To address your concern; it will be further into the future before the in-town market is in trouble. Someday they may be the "older buildings" with the lowest rents and empty spaces.

Thanks. I'm thinking this weekend's rain should show whether the water is flowing or standing in that area before construction.

I'm an Apartment Locator seeking opinions on the proposed construction of the Abbey Woodlands Apartments to be built on Sawdust Rd near Grogan's Mill. Check out this article: http://blogs.chron.com/woodlands/archives/..._new_wynde.html

I've enjoyed checking out the old school pictures and replies. My parents moved alot in the city and I had the opportunity to go to many inner loop schools you were talking about like River Oaks Elem (62-63) Memorial Elem (67-69) Lanier Jr. (71-72) Lamar High (72-73) and others!
