    Rice rockets to top spot in U.S. ranking of most expensive stadium-area homes

    If you’re a homeowner in Houston, it’s really nice to live near Rice University’s football stadium (except perhaps on game days).

    A new ranking from moveBuddha shows that in comparison with other U.S. cities that host major college football programs, homes in the 77005 ZIP code, where Rice Stadium is located, enjoy the widest positive gap in value between the stadium area’s average and the city’s average.

    For the ranking, moveBuddha used home value data for 2019 from residential real estate platform Zillow. According to the data, the average home value in the city of Houston was $165,381 while the average home value in the Rice ZIP code was $625,114. That’s a difference of $459,733.

    It’s worth noting that the data covers average home values, not average home prices.

    Among all of the roughly 250 football stadiums that moveBuddha examined, the dollar gap between Rice Stadium and Houston was No. 1 “by a long shot,” the website notes.

    “Rice is in a notably ritzier area of Houston … and the numbers clearly reflected that,” moveBuddha says.

    After Rice and Houston, the next highest gap on the list ($216,204) was between Georgetown University’s football stadium and Washington, D.C.

    A little further down the list is another Texas combo: Southern Methodist University’s Gerald J. Ford Stadium in University Park and the city of Dallas. According to moveBuddha, the average home value near SMU’s stadium was $412,933, while the city’s average home value was $223,433. That’s a difference of $189,500, putting this team in fourth place.

    For its ranking, moveBuddha relied on the official address for each stadium. In the case of SMU, the mailing address for the stadium is a Dallas mailing address (5800 Ownby Dr.)

    Other Texas locations with positive gaps in home values included:

    • No. 11 — University of North Texas in Denton. Average home value near stadium: $341,781. Average home value in city: $206,568. Gap: $135,213.
    • No. 20 (tie) — University of Houston. Average home value near stadium: $255,604. Average home value in city: $165,381. Gap: $90,223.
    • No. 20 (tie) — Texas Southern University in Houston. Average home value near stadium: $255,604. Average home value in city: $165,381. Gap: $90,223.
    • No. 22 — Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Average home value near stadium: $247,219. Average home value in city: $163,262. Gap: $83,957.
    • No. 24 — University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio. Average home value near stadium: $253,891. Average home value in city: $172,309. Gap: $81,582.

    For Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View and Texas State University in San Marcos, the average home values near the stadium and in the city were the same — $124,372 in Prairie View and $178,877 in San Marcos.

    In Texas’ major metro areas, three stadium-and-city teams landed in negative territory:

    • Houston Baptist University in Houston — Average home value in city: $165,381. Average home value near stadium: $86,213. Negative gap: $79,168.
    • University of Texas at San Antonio — Average home value in city: $172,309. Average home value near stadium: $125,072. Negative gap: $47,237.
    • University of Texas at Austin — Average home value in city: $342,701. Average home value near stadium: $312,839. Negative gap: $29,862.

    A new Houston high-rise is issuing a final call for one of its most desirable units. The St. Regis Residences, Houston has one remaining penthouse available for $14.5 million.

    A representative touts that the $3,100 per square foot price is a new record for Houston-area high-rises. It’s one of seven penthouses at the property that range in size from 4,500 to 6,500 square feet.

    “The last available penthouse at The St. Regis Residences underscores the strength and maturity of Houston’s luxury market,” said Catherine Lee, president of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, Texas, which is handling sales and marketing for the building. "Discerning buyers are consistently choosing standalone branded residences that deliver enduring quality, trusted service, and global brand recognition — all of which is evidenced by the premium price-per-square-foot. Opportunities of this caliber, particularly at this level of scarcity, are increasingly rare.”

    As CultureMap has previously reported, Houston-based commercial real estate firm Satya is building the 37-story, curvilinear tower. Set on a nearly four-acre property near Houston’s iconic Bayou Bend Collection (102 Asbury Street), the tower will offer 90 residences.

    Buyers can select from various floor plans, including one-bedroom units. Pricing for these luxurious homes begins at $3 million, with residences starting on the 10th floor.

    Residents will enjoy more than 40,000 square feet of amenities, including butler service, a lap pool, steam rooms, saunas, fitness studio, dedicated training space, a yoga and movement studio, and St. Regis-branded bicycles. A dedicated children’s activity center, gaming lounge, theater, and event space will offer entertainment for all ages, while the Cognac Bar and Astor Room on the 26th floor will provide a refined dining experience in homage to the St. Regis founding family.

    Additional perks include co-working spaces, two guest suites, and full-building backup generators — an invaluable feature in Houston.

    The project is expected to break ground this spring, with an expected completion of early 2029. So far, the building has more than $180 million in gross sales, according to press materials.

    “The demand for this level of condominium in Houston continues to show the market is prime for a new paradigm of residential experience and the impeccable service of legendary hospitality that The St. Regis brand is known for,” said Sunny Bathija, owner and developer of The St. Regis Residences, Houston and CEO of Satya.

    St. Regis Residences, Houston, is neither owned nor developed by Marriott International or Marriott, but rather SR Luxury Condominium, LTD. It has licensed the St. Regis marks from Marriott for the project.
