Overview

§ 01

Homes like this don't come along often in Oak Forest! Lovingly maintained by its original owner, this home offers something that's becoming harder to find: an established neighborhood, room to spread out, and a backyard with a view that won't disappear behind future development. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, while a thoughtfully converted garage adds a spacious, versatile family room that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Step outside to enjoy the covered sunroom overlooking a fenced backyard, with wide-open space beyond the property thanks to a utility easement. Recent improvements include a brand-new AC (2026), freshly painted front porch, and refreshed landscaping that adds to the home's curb appeal. Located in one of Oak Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods and zoned to A-rated elementary, middle, and high schools, this is a rare opportunity to make a well-loved, one-owner home your own!

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
