Overview

§ 01

Own a piece of Alvin history! Built in 1890 and documented as Alvin’s first rooming house, this 2,024 sq ft property sits on an oversized corner lot and is packed with character. Original hardwood and pine floors, 10' ceilings, a striking dark walnut staircase and the inviting porches showcase its historic charm. The downstairs was most recently renovated for business use with widened doors, creating a flexible layout where bedrooms can easily serve as private offices, workspaces or separate living areas. Thoughtful updates over the years include the kitchen and baths, windows, plumbing, electrical and roof improvements. Once home to beloved Alvin educator Golda Finger Hood, its history is even preserved in miniature at the Alvin Museum. Residence, workspace or a creative combination of both, this 135+ year-old Alvin original is ready for its next chapter!

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.
