Overview

§ 01

Situated on an expansive 1.1236-acre plot, this duplex offers exceptional investment potential and a rare opportunity for scalable rental growth. The property sits directly adjacent to MLS #63257329, where the second and third duplexes are located together on the neighboring plot. Their side-by-side configuration creates a uniquely advantageous multi-building investment environment. Investors can evaluate both listings collectively to envision a coordinated rental footprint across two parcels, while still benefiting from the flexibility of separate ownership. The generous acreage of this listing provides ample room for thoughtful expansion—whether exploring additional rental units, accessory dwellings, or a larger multi-unit configuration—subject to local zoning and permitting. When paired with the adjacent two-duplex tract, this offering presents a compelling pathway for long-term portfolio growth and strategic site planning. Owner/Agent

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.
