Overview

§ 01

A sweeping staircase, soaring rotunda entry and two-story wall of windows make a striking first impression in this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Westin home in gated Sterling Lakes. Across 3,203 sq ft, the open kitchen and family room create an inviting gathering space anchored by a gas-log fireplace. Granite counters, a gas cooktop, breakfast bar and butler's pantry connect everyday meals with formal dining. The first-floor primary suite offers bay windows, a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, double sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower. Upstairs, a game room and separate media room give entertaining its own space, while three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. A fenced backyard and patio extend living outdoors; the community offers a pool and lake access. Pool design plans are included at no additional cost. The pool image shows a proposed design; no private pool currently exists, and construction is not included.

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.
