Corinthian Pointe, Houston

Corinthian Pointe is a large planned affordable subdivision located in Houston, Texas, in the United States.

About 80% of the subdivision's homes are classified as "affordable" by the City of Houston according to Genora Boykins, the chairperson of Pyramid Residential Community Corporation.

Boykins said that low income families who received down-payment assistance from the City of Houston bought one third of the homes in the neighborhood.

[7] George E. Johnson Sr., the community's developer, said that because Corinthian Pointe was successful, other homebuilders decided to build on nearby plots of land.

John Nash, a resident quoted in a 2006 Houston Chronicle article, said that Corinthian Pointe's location is "ideal" due to proximity to the Texas Medical Center, The Galleria, and Beltway 8.

[5] The neighborhood is within the Houston Police Department's Southwest Patrol Division, headquartered at 4503 Beechnut Street.

[11] As of 2017, Harris County Precinct One, headed by Commissioner Rodney Ellis, serves Corinthian Pointe.

[17] Corinthian Pointe is in Texas's 9th congressional district represented by Congressman Al Green.

Students who are eligible for HISD's preschools may attend any Early Childhood Center in Houston ISD for free.
