Essential Housing at Pearl Greenway
Select one and two bedroom apartment homes in Houston's Greenway Upper Kirby district offered at reduced rates for the people who keep our city running, with the same resort-style pool, 24-hour athletic club and dog park every resident enjoys.
Who It Is For
Live Close to Where You Work
In addition to our market rate homes, Pearl Greenway reserves a portion of its apartments for Houston's critical workforce, including teachers, nurses, first responders, law enforcement officers, retail and restaurant staff, and many others.
Pearl Greenway sits in the heart of the Greenway Upper Kirby district, close to shopping, dining, parks and major employment centers, so you can skip the long commute and spend more time with family.
How It Works
Find Homes That Fit Your Income
Look for P6 or P8
Essential Housing floor plans end in ".P6" or ".P8" on our Floor Plans page, such as A1.P6 or B1.P8.
Match Your Income Limit
P6 homes are for households earning up to 60% of the area median income (AMI). P8 homes are for households earning up to 80% of AMI. Limits are set by home size.
Meet the Rent Requirement
Whether you choose a P6 or P8 home, your household must also earn at least 2.5 times the monthly rent.
Income Limits
Maximum Annual Household Income
Income limits at Pearl Greenway are based on the Houston area median income and set by home size. We qualify applicants on gross annual household income.
| Home Size | P6 Homes (60% AMI) | P8 Homes (80% AMI) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $49,920 | $66,560 |
| 2 bedroom | $62,400 | $83,200 |
All P6 and P8 applicants must also meet the 2.5x monthly rent income requirement. Income limits are subject to change each year. Contact our leasing team for current limits and details on acceptable proof of income.
