Meyerland

The Neighborhood

Large Lots, Strong Community, and a Flood-Rebuild Cycle

Meyerland was developed in the 1950s as one of southwest Houston's premier residential neighborhoods — large lots, strong community identity, multiple synagogues anchoring a significant Jewish population, and easy access inside the 610 Loop between Beechnut and South Braeswood. Then the water came. The Memorial Day flood in 2015. The Tax Day flood in 2016. Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Some homes flooded three times in three years. The neighborhood has been rebuilding, elevating, and reinventing itself ever since.

That flood-rebuild cycle defines every Meyerland move. Many homes have been gutted and raised on piers — new staircases, higher thresholds, altered entry points. Others are mid-renovation with temporary steps and torn-up driveways. When the house is accessible, the work is straightforward: spacious single-story or two-story homes on 8,000-to-12,000-square-foot lots with wide driveways and real staging room. But you always confirm the home's current condition before quoting. We've been moving Meyerland families since 2009 — through every flood and every rebuild.
