Will suburbs like Sugarland, Katy, etc. end up like West University, Bellaire in the future?
West University is very old, and it started off a humble suburb of Houston - you can still many original bungalows today and they’re quite small. Today, it’s a very affluent place known for its safety, cool looking houses (and expensive) houses, city planning (grid layout, walkable, etc.
Would the newer built suburbs like Sugarland, Katy etc. be like this in the future? I would think maybe the older parts of Sugarland like Brooks St. but these newer developments I’m not sure off (e.g. Do these newer development have building design restrictions like West University, Bellaire, Houston? Or are you free to design whatever house you want?)
Edit: look at Sharpstown, Oaks Forest - they are somewhat walkable and they’re newer suburbs compared to West University and Bellaire. Of course we also see Oak Forest being on the rise recently as well
