Overview

§ 01

This home is the Montrose find that’s hard to come by: a tree-lined street, private driveway, expansive deck and a deep backyard with room to actually enjoy it. Inside, tall ceilings, stained beams and arched details bring character to the open floor plan. The light-filled kitchen offers generous counter space, stainless appliances, gas range and walk-in pantry, then opens to a large deck made for grilling, dining and entertaining. Stairs connect the deck to the covered patio and backyard below, creating exceptional outdoor living. The primary suite features two closets, dual sinks, walk-in shower and jetted tub, with generously sized secondary bedrooms and great storage throughout. Recent improvements include roof and stucco work completed in 2024. No HOA, plus Buffalo Bayou Park, Whole Foods and Montrose favorites just minutes away.

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.
