Demand Grows for Houston’s Inner Loop

After graduating with a degree in business management from Tulane University, Eric Hymowitz started his career in the financial and real estate industries. Since 2002, Eric Hymowitz has led ROC Homes, a successful homebuilding firm that creates residential communities within Houston’s most desirable Inner-Loop neighborhoods.

Inner-Loop neighborhoods draw their name from their location within Interstate 610, a highway that encircles downtown Houston and several surrounding areas. These neighborhoods enjoy close proximity to the city’s booming job market, as well as the nightlife and cultural experiences offered in the downtown core. Individual neighborhoods, such as Rice Military, are also standalone entertainment hubs. Many neighborhoods also score high for walkability and access to public transportation.

Inner-Loop neighborhoods are ideal for professionals and families. The area includes many of the city’s top-rated school systems, as well as miles of hiking trails and green spaces. Demand for homes in the Inner Loop has led to an increase in construction projects, driven by an influx of new residents.
