Elyson ranks among nation’s Top 50 communities in 2023 midyear report
Elyson ranks among the Top 50 master-planned communities (MPCs) in the U.S. for new-home sales in a midyear survey from RCLCO, a national real estate consulting firm.
Builders in Elyson sold 224 new homes in the first six months of 2023, a solid contribution to Houston’s status as the top-performing metropolitan area in the U.S. in the report. Houston has 14 MPCs in the midyear Top 50, representing almost 26% of sales among the ranked MPCs.
New builders, more school choices, new shopping options and more have heightened Elyson’s profile with homebuyers and real estate agents in 2023. Here’s a quick look at what’s coming for the rest of the year and for 2024.
