“My husband and I worked with Lisa, and we had a great experience finding our first time home, which we love. Lisa really took interest in getting to know us as a couple and what we were looking for in a home. She was honest about the pros and cons of each home we toured or had interest in. We even had to put our search on hold as my husband was supposed to relocate out of Houston for work. It took over a year for us to find a home, and during the whole time, Lisa was available for us, patient, and we did not ever feel pressured to buy. Lisa provided us with objective data and her expert opinion during the process. She also helped us with negotiations. It was as stress free as a big purchase could be! Highly recommend the team and Lisa in particular.” - Monica Aceves (Google Review)

Courtlandt Place TX History

Located in what was once the outskirts of Houston, Courtlandt Place was built as a residential enclave for the then-fledgling city’s elite. The historic neighborhood was platted in 1906, a few years after Westmoreland Place (1902). Both were exclusive communities that at the time were called “Private Places”, built in response to Houston’s urban chaos.

The first 14 Courtlandt Place homes were built before WWI. Four more were added to the community by 1937. Distinguished architects and developers built homes in the area like Warren and Wetmore, John F. Staub, Sanguinet and Staats, and Birdsall P. Briscoe.

Today, Courtlandt Place is a historic district. In 1979, the community was inducted into the National Register of Historic Places. Ten years later, Courtlandt Place received a Texas historical marker.
