Real Estate in Houston's Museum District

Houston's Museum District is a highly desirable area, with a central location and many of the city's finest attractions nearby. Real estate in the Museum District varies between modern flats, townhomes, and condos, and more heritage buildings in solid brick, occupying relatively large lots. Some older buildings in frame and board style can also be found in the area.

Many recent developments have taken advantage of the relatively large lot sizes and fantastic location to construct up-market townhomes and condo buildings. Meanwhile many lots retain their original structures, primarily early 20th century brick buildings of one kind or another - flats, bungalows, Foursquares, and so on.

In addition to the condos, townhomes and apartment buildings in Houston's Museum District, there have also been a number of luxury detached homes cropping up. Usually rendered in a contemporary modernist style, these homes represent high quality construction and design, containing only the best in modern features and fittings.

As for the condos and townhomes, these are also well equipped for comfort, convenience, and style. For the more conventional, units can be found with tray ceilings, crown moldings, and clean, sleek internal design.

For the trendier set, there are more industrial loft-type units, with exposed brick and tall, unadorned ceilings. Many such buildings come equipped with decks, game rooms, exercise centers, and even pools in some cases.

There is also a variety of properties available in heritage homes, and more economical modern condo buildings. And the older properties in Houston's Museum District represent excellent investment opportunities too - given the outstanding desirability of the area.

Houston Museum District - Area Information

Houston's Museum District is a loosely defined area, situated southwest of Downtown Houston and clustering mostly around the Mecom Fountain at the intersection of Main Street and Montrose Boulevard.

Some proposed boundaries for the area are Highway 288 to the east, Texas Medical Center or Harmann Park to the south, and Interstate 69 or Alabama Street in the north. Other measures put it anywhere within 1.5 miles of Mecom Fountain.

Whatever the case, the Museum District is only minutes from the downtown area, and nearby roadways give quick access to outlying regions as well. The area scores highly for biking and walking, and a number of MetroRail stops dot the area for added accessibility.
