Overview

§ 01

Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees on a quiet Heights cul-de-sac, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is a striking blend of architecture, natural light and thoughtful design. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows create an airy connection to the lush surroundings. Distinctive details include maple floors reclaimed from a basketball court and a sculptural reclaimed-wood staircase. The sleek chef’s kitchen with Viking appliances flows effortlessly into the living spaces, while the spacious primary suite offers a beautifully updated bath. Energy-efficient features add to the home’s appeal. Just down the street, a wooded Hike & Bike Trail provides a peaceful escape beneath the trees. Minutes from M-K-T and some of the Heights’ best restaurants, shops and neighborhood gathering spots. Built by Shade House Development and featured in Dwell in 2007, this is a truly remarkable Heights home!

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.
