Carverdale is breaking away from its industrial history
Carverdale is a neighborhood on the rise. Coming to prominence in the 1950s, the community is a blend of residential properties alongside industrial complexes. Just 16 miles northwest of downtown Houston and wedged between Beltway 8 and Route 290, Carverdale is easily accessible from two of Houston's major thoroughfares, which is partially contributing to the neighborhood's recent surge of newer developments. "Carverdale is on its way to being an up-and-coming neighborhood," says local Realtor Celestine Moore of Re/Max Integrity, who has nearly 20 years of real estate experience. "Investors and developers are really looking at Carverdale to build new condos and townhouse complexes to breathe new life and bring a new vibe to the area."

Homes old and new neighbor Carverdale's industrial complexes

Most homes price between $100,000 and $300,000, but newer properties can top out closer to $400,000.
Carverdale offers several different home styles for future residents to choose from.

Lunch at Sam's is a staple for Carverdale locals
Most shopping and dining destinations are outside of the neighborhood. H-E-B sits just south of Carverdale, while Target and additional big-box retailers line the Northwest Freeway. Closer to home, though, Lunch at Sam's has been serving Carverdale since 1954, and Tacos La Bala is revered for the Tex-Mex staples Houston is known for.

Honestly, the area is very nice. The crime rate isn't insanely high and overall I feel very safe in my home and neighborhood. The YMCA offers great service to the community, whether it be adults or children. I would definitely choose to live here again if given the choice. In the future I see many developments and even greater community service.
