Norhill Houston Real Estate Information
Norhill was originally planned and developed in the 1920s as an ideal working class neighborhood. Since then, Norhill hasn't undergone the modern infill development that other well-established areas around Houston have experienced.
Today the Norhill neighborhood has retained much of its original character, now highly sought after, with historic Craftsman bungalows and clean spacious yards.
Any new constructions that do pop up in Norhill tend to keep with the prevailing aesthetic. Yet these properties benefit from all of the modern luxury fittings one would expect.
Many of Norhill's older homes are highly revered as authentic examples of early 20th-century kit-built Craftsman homes. These homes boast vintage tile work, real wood floors, wrought iron details, and refurbished interiors.
The bungalows found throughout Norhill are characterized by their understated ornamentation, large porches, and sturdy columns. Other details include low-pitched and jerkinhead roofs, wood siding, and rich sylvan colors.
These home designs were immensely popular in the first part of the 20th-century, and their open plans and spacious porches were perfect for the hot, humid weather of the U.S. south. Particularly popular in working class communities, many of these homes were ordered as complete, pre-cut kits, made according to commercially available plans found in magazines.
Other styles on display in Norhill are American Foursquare, Prairie, various European cottages, and the odd building with Victorian details.
Although most properties in Norhill are small to medium-sized detached family homes, there are a number of duplexes as well.
