If there's one place you could do it in Houston right now, it'd be the Heights. The city can be affordable as hell, but there is a lot of urban infill starting

If there's one place you could do it in Houston right now, it'd be the Heights. The city can be affordable as hell, but there is a lot of urban infill starting (rather than building more surburbs). So the walkable/bikeable parts of the city have seen price increases for the last 3-4 years, and remain unaffected so far by the decline in oil prices (which people often assume will result in a decline in home prices).
