Welcome back to The Open House. If you’re an investor looking for a new place to grow your money, I’ve got the perfect upcoming area in the city.

Most people have already begun buying up Third Ward and parts of Fifth Ward, also known as ‘EADO’. But, if you go a little further south, you’ll find an area that, with a little work and patience, will be definitely worth the bang for your buck... if you can get in early.

Just south of Third Ward, on the opposite side of 610 and 288, you’ll find one of Houston’s oldest black communities, Sunnyside. Founded in 1912, this south central, predominatelyAfrican-American community was once known as the “Baby River Oaks” because of the flourishing businesses in the 1970s and 80s.

Although in the past this community experienced an economic decline and a crime incline, the residents are optimistic regarding the future. According to Rachel-Kimbro, with Rice University sociology professor and founding director of the Kinder Institute’s Urban Health Program, Sunnyside has an extremely high rate for voter participation and collective efficacy, which means the people in the community are invested, engaged, helpful and look out for one another.

“Investments in the neighborhood, whether in infrastructure or retail or housing, have a better chance of succeeding because the social fabric is so strong,” Kimbro says.

Sunnyside is in a desirable location minutes away from the Texas Medical Center, the Museum District and Downtown, which for an investor can mean a high probability for it.

Though there is still work to be done, the City of Houston and current residents are excited to see Sunnyside revitalized and brought back to its glory. So, if you’re an investor, now is the time to start buying in this community. Want to check out this area? Call me - I would love to set it up for you!!
