Southampton

The older sections of Southampton homes consist of cozy bungalows because that was the predominant design for cottages.

Welcome to Southampton Place

The perfect blend of classy vintage homes and modern upscale residences

Southampton Place is an upscale suburb of Houston near the Inner Loop for an accessible and reasonable commute only 14 minutes from downtown and 7 minutes from The Museum District. Located only two miles away from the Texas Medical Center district and slightly north of Rice University, this residential idyll caters to medical professionals and collegiate associates alike. In terms of history, developer E.H. Fleming first planned this community in the 1920s, and many older estates are built in the cottage style of the time.

The older sections of Southampton homes consist of cozy bungalows because that was the predominant design for cottages. Other traditional properties in this area feature Georgian and Georgian Revival styles with two or three stories, brick facades, and large, open porches. These are unique because they pre-date back to the days before air-conditioning devices cooled Houston's parlors, so a spacious porch was necessary to keep guests comfortable. While many places in Southampton have a historical whimsy about them thanks to preservation efforts, modern touches exist and include two luxury high-rises, dazzling new construction, and stately townhomes. 

What to Love

  • The dignified oak trees that line Rice and Sunset Boulevards
  • A short drive to The Southwest Freeway and all that downtown Houston offers
  • The Southampton Civic Association's dedication to the preservation of historic homes 
  • Within walking distance to Rice Village and its vibrant shopping center
  • Large, green front lawns and larger lots than nearby neighborhoods
  • Proximity to the Houston Museum District and Zoo

Local Lifestyle

There are approximately 600 single-family homes in this planned community that tend to attract young people and families. However, the new high-rises and townhomes offer glamorous lifestyle housing, and one is a deluxe accommodation for senior citizens. This means that people of all ages have access to the fine things Southampton place offers, including its tree-lined streets, gorgeous new construction properties, and nearby Houston attractions. 

Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

In Southampton, everything is within a short walk or drive, including shopping districts, entertainment centers, and unforgettable and highly-anticipated perks. Don't miss the Día de Los Muertos theme at Under the Volcano (not to mention the mixologist-prepared cocktails and tasty tacos). Both the Myth Salon & Spa and Synergy Day Spa offer residents glamorous treatment and a chance to relax without leaving the comfort of their subdivision. Brazo's Bookstore is a classic part of Southampton and has the latest titles along with a separate play location for the patrons' children. Simone on Sunset is another local business with upscale, artistic clients who appreciate well-made drinks coupled with gourmet food. 

Things to Do

Bring out your artistic side with a visit to Film Magic, a library featuring films and photographs. SIPPLE is a unique area fixture that is dedicated entirely to bottles, drinks, and collectibles; yet, these are all family-friendly and non-alcoholic drinks. Grab a fruity drink and check out Fleming Park, where residents enjoy tennis courts, a quaint children's play area, and many places to revel in the sunny weather. Fleming Park is maintained by a non-profit dedicated to its upkeep (Friends of Fleming Park) and parking spaces are rare. Consequently, Fleming Park is typically frequented by those in Southampton with children, so the area is very family-friendly and supportive of locals. The Southampton Civic Club is also popular with residents interested in beautifying local outdoor spaces and dwellings.

Schools 

Southampton is part of the Houston Independent School District, and while it only has one school within its boundaries, students have the option to attend well-regarded public and private schools in the area. 

  • Southampton Montessori School, Grades PK-5, Houston's Only Elementary Offering an Instrumental Music Program 
  • Rice University, Grades 13-17, Ranked by The Princeton Review as No. 1. in Quality of Life
