Overview

§ 01

Pack a bag, grab your flip flops, and start making memories in this updated beachfront retreat. Sold with most furnishings, you can begin enjoying it the day you close. Located in the small West End community of Kahala Estates, this home offers unobstructed Gulf views to the south and bay views to the north. The street has only one row of houses on the beach side of the street. The beach is a bit remote so it is very quiet and private. The views truly take center stage. Step inside to a sun-filled living and dining area with soaring ceilings and expansive windows framing the water. The open layout connects seamlessly to the kitchen and outdoor spaces, creating an easy flow for gatherings. Spacious bedrooms provide comfort for family and guests, while multiple decks invite you to take in sunrise over the Gulf and evening skies over the bay. This is coastal living done right.

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.
