View Houston market analysis →The Surge Take: La Porte
La Porte scores 60.6/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #23 of 53 Houston-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Houston market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $34,169/year — about 9% above the Houston metro average.
The revenue profile is a $175 average daily rate at 63% occupancy (RevPAR $94). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
On the regulatory side, La Porte falls under La Porte, which is currently permissive: No STR permit; city explicitly considering ordinance; HOT registration required. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
