     Editor's Note: Houston, the surrounding areas and beyond are loaded with must-have houses and properties for sale in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. In this continuing series, CultureMap snoops through some of the best and gives you the lowdown on what's hot on the market.

     

    A modern gem of a home nestled in exclusive Glendower Court stands three stories tall and is doubly crowned with a second-level pool that comes complete with a water wall, a rooftop terrace with an outdoor fireplace and treetop views of the River Oaks area neighborhood.

     

    The asking price for this Steve Howard-designed jewel rings like precious stones: $4.3 million.

     

     Walk through
    ​Located at 2212 Salisbury St., the residence begins with a gated entry courtyard with water feature and opens to a grand reception hall. Beyond is the ground-level media room, home office with sitting area and two bedrooms with baths. Throughout are designer touches, from the stone-tile flooring to the contemporary light fixtures to the walls of built-ins. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow for an abundance of natural light.

     

    The second-level landing is as inviting as the grand reception hall and leads to a large, open entertaining area surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. A fireplace anchors the sitting area, while the dining table sits next to the custom kitchen with more built-ins. The chef of the house will find top-of-the-line appliances here, as well as a view of the lovely room — and the airy second-floor pool with its own water wall and tiled deck.

    The master suite is located on the other side of the pool and courtyard. Again, floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the landscaped outdoor living space. Two master baths are complete with stone-tile flooring, vanities, modern free-standing tub and tons of custom wardrobes with spacious dressing areas. In total, the house has three bedrooms and two full and two half-baths.

     

    The third floor opens to a wet bar inside and then outside, a rooftop terrace and dining table with outdoor fireplace. Dramatic open architecture elements define the terrace, which also incudes a sitting area with views of the neighborhood. An elevator takes owners to all three levels. A three-car garage is attached.

     

     Square footage: 5,521

     

     Asking price: $4.3 million

    Rent report

    This Houston suburb had the highest apartment rent prices in June

    The City of Sugar Land, Texas – City Government/Facebook
    The asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Sugar Land was $1,450 in June, and two-bedroom units were $1,870.

    Apartment rent prices in June were more expensive in Sugar Land than they were anywhere else in Houston, according to the latest monthly rental report from Zumper.

    The rent report, which analyzed active listings from the previous month across all cities in the Houston metro, tracks the most and least expensive rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments, and determines the cities with the fastest growing rents. Listings were aggregated by city to calculate median asking rents.

    Despite having the most expensive rent in the Houston area last month, the asking rent for one--bedroom apartments in Sugar Land was technically lower than it was a year ago. Sugar Land's asking rent for one-bedrooms dropped 0.7 percent year-over-year to $1,450, while asking prices for two-bedroom units grew 3.3 percent to $1,870.

    Galveston saw the highest jump in one-bedroom prices year-over-year this past June, with asking rent for single-bedroom units rising 2.7 percent to $1,140. Two-bedroom apartments in Galveston dropped 2 percent year-over-year to $1,450.

    One-bedroom rent in Pearland decreased 1.5 percent to $1,340 in June, which Zumper found was the second-highest rent price in Houston. Year-over-year prices for two-bedroom units rose nearly 3 percent to $1,770.

    Houston proper had the third most expensive rent in the metro area last month, with prices for one-bedroom units remaining flat year-over-year at $1,280, while two-bedroom units decreased 7.4 percent to $1,500.

    Houston-area cities with affordable rent compared to the statewide median
    Zumper's report revealed that the median asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Texas came out to $1,134 last month, but there was no figure given for two-bedroom units.

    Out of the 13 Houston-area cities included in the report, six had affordable asking rent prices lower than the statewide median: Huntsville ($850), Pasadena ($900), Texas City ($910), Lake Jackson ($920), Baytown ($940), and La Porte ($1,100).

    Huntsville rent prices were the cheapest in the metro last month, but rent in Baytown decreased the most dramatically since last year with prices plunging 14.5 percent. Huntsville's current asking price is 5.6 percent lower than it was this time last year, which was the second-lowest drop.

    These are the June rent prices for one-bedroom apartments in the three remaining Houston-area cities:

    • League City – $1,200
    • Spring – $1,180
    • Conroe – $1,150
