What are the "richy" area of Texas?

Question

Where are the areas with the nices houses, best schools, nicest malls and...you know where all the snobs live?

Answer 1

There are affluent areas in every major city in Texas. The best schools are often the private schools whose location has nothing to do with the location of the neighborhoods where the students live. After all if you have enough money, you can afford to transport your child to school without a bus.

The malls also genarally locate for the general public and not for the most affluent neighborhoods. However, the newer, and usually more affluent malls are usually found in areas of either old established money or new rapidly growing neighborhoods.

Snobs on the otherhand live where they want. It does not take money to make a snob and not all wealthy people are snobbish. Though I do remember seeing Jerry Seinfeld on a television show talking about his home in the Hamptons. He said that as they weren't allowed to construct fences and gated communities to keep people out, they generally just priced people out of the Hamptons.

I have found that the people with the greatest accumulations of money in Texas have large tracts of land outside the cities and do not live in the neighborhoods. Remember Lyndon Johnson and George W. Bush both had ranches outside small communities in Texas. George H.W.Bush another former President, has an apartment in Houston and does not have a house in a neighborhood.

As far as best public schools. In San Antonio, the YA area you asked the question in, the best combination of public schools K-12 is in the Northeast ISD and includes Stone Oak and Hardy Oak Elementary Schools, Bush Middle School and Reagan High School. They have the highest combination of performance scores on the TEA Accountability Rating System. The closest major shopping center mall area to this school area is the Shops at La Canterra and The Rim Shopping Complex. The homes are in the Stone Oak/Sonterra/Vineyard Areas. The average home in the area is just over $350,000 and there many homes in the area worth over a million. There are certainlt widespread areas of wealth including the King William and Monte Vista Historic Districts, Olmos Park, some Areas of Terrel Hills and Alamo Heights (which also has a fine school and the Quarry Shopping area) and just north west of the city is the Dominion and the Boerne schools are very good.

In Fort Woth the areas around the museum district and Rigmar Mall are certainly affluent, though there are certainly other affluent areas.

In Dallas there are many scattered areas of wealth and the Galleria Mall is probably the better mall. St Marks is certainly the best school.

In Houston, there are also many areas, most would consider the Woodlands suburb to be one of the better areas. The Galleria Mall is again a fine mall in Houston.

Answer 2

Every city has their rich areas including San Antonio. The neighborhood that I was raised in has homes that sell for between $600,000 to a cool $1,500,000, as a boy growing up I never thought of it as a rich area and still don't. Rich? I think that it is a value thing from one person to another. I know as many MDs, PHDs, lawyers, professors, etc as I know folks that pick up the trash. A lady down the street does dog grooming and yet next door is a Radiologist.

Snobbery,.....this is a different deal and if you look real close you will find out most of the time they have less than most and are want-ta-bes. In San Antonio the average home costs about $150,000 but homes can range from $50,000 to way over a million dollars. The two best school districts in San Antonio are the North Side Independent School District and the North East Side Independent School District.

I will make a wild guess that the neighborhood with the most money in it in the state would be the Medical Center Area in Houston, with MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann Hospital, with several more hospitals along with UT and Rice Universities and several more colleges as well. I might add that the oil industry has a huge presents there also

Answer 3

The Barton Creek area in Austin, TX is very "richy." It is apart of the Austin Independent School District and they are one of the wealthiest school districts in Texas.
Austin is the home to all of the major political figures in Texas and lots of wealthy business people reside there also.
Its a pretty cool city for regular people also.
