Overview

§ 01

1222 Genova St. presents a rare opportunity to create value in the rapidly evolving Northside neighborhood. Ideal for investors, builders, or buyers with vision, this property offers flexibility for a variety of paths—whether as a long-term rental, renovation project, resale opportunity, or a clean slate for new construction. Situated on a well-located lot with easy access to major highways, Downtown Houston, The Heights, local dining, and entertainment, the location supports strong rental demand and long-term appreciation. The existing 1940s bungalow provides a solid foundation for renovation, showcasing the charm and craftsmanship that are increasingly hard to find in modern construction, while the lot itself offers excellent potential for a new build tailored to today’s market. The property features an inviting front porch, original details, and a spacious lot with mature trees. The surrounding community is welcoming, with nearby schools, parks, and local shops a short drive 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.
