The Langley, a 20-story luxury apartment tower rising on the long-disputed Ashby site in Boulevard Oaks, is gearing up for its first move-ins next month. Early leasing materials and marketing show starting rents north of $9,000 a month, with many of the oversized units priced well into the five-figure range, a sharp break from typical Inner Loop apartment numbers.
According to the Houston Chronicle, residents are expected to begin moving in February, with monthly rents starting at about $9,100. The Chronicle reports that the Langleys’ average asking rent is roughly $13,215 per month, which CoStar identifies as the highest in the metro area, and notes multiple-listing entries advertising individual units for about $17,500 to $19,000 a month. StreetLights Residential’s senior vice president of development has called the project “a thoughtful evolution” intended to align the building with the neighborhood’s scale, the Chronicle adds. Sticker shock, evidently, is part of the package.
What The Langley Offers
Marketing for the Langley leans hard into size and services. The building promotes very large floor plans and hotel-style perks, with residences listed between 2,165 and 3,401 square feet and eight homes per floor, according to The Langley. Amenities highlighted on the site include 24/7 valet, conference rooms and private workspaces, a fourth-floor amenity deck with pool and cabanas, a private dining room with catering kitchen, and a pet run with wash station. Inside each residence, the marketing materials tout 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank oak flooring, Wolf gas cooktops, and GE Monogram appliances.
