Which has more luxury high-rises: River Oaks or Upper Kirby?

Grant’s direct answer

River Oaks is the clear winner for luxury high-rise selection. It offers more towers, broader price variety, more full-service choices, premium amenities, newer development, and better access to luxury retail and dining. Upper Kirby has selected vertical and luxury properties but cannot match River Oaks for quantity, variety, or service levels. The final building should still be chosen by current management, concierge and valet coverage, parking, floor plan, view, fees, concessions, commute, and exact location. A specific well-managed Upper Kirby property can still outperform a weaker River Oaks tower for an individual renter.
