Overview

§ 01

Exceptional opportunity in the heart of Southgate for new construction or a thoughtful restoration. This rare double lot offers 15,457 sq. ft. (per HCAD) on tree-lined University Boulevard, directly across from Rice University. The existing 3,902 sq. ft. (HCAD) 1938 residence features timeless architectural character, generous room sizes, and a pool, providing compelling renovation potential. However, the property is being marketed for land value and sold as-is, with no repairs by seller. A premier location with walkability to the Medical Center, Rice Village, and Herman Park—an ideal site for your vision in one of Houston’s most sought-after communities.

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.
