Houston MSA

🏆 Ranked #1 in Median Gross Rent in the Houston MSA — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. What does it mean that West University Place leads the Houston metro in median gross rent at $3,501? It’s not about growth—it’s about exclusion. The top-tier rent cities in Houston are not expanding; they are preserving.
