Nestled in the area between Rice University, the Texas Medical Center, Midtown, and the Third Ward, the Museum District enjoys a central location within the Inner Loop.

Among the most accessible neighborhoods in Houston, the Museum District is located along two freeways, South and Southwest. The district also has three MetroRAIL stations (Museum District, Hermann Park/Rice U, and Wheeler). It promotes alternatives for getting around its pedestrian-friendly streets, including a bike sharing program called Houston B-cycle.

The development of the Museum District was a collective community effort – several organizations banded together to revive the area. The Museum District Development Association of Houston created a multi-phase plan to develop a pedestrian-friendly area centering on the Museum of Fine Arts.

Today, the Houston Museum District Association comprises 19 museums and institutions, all located within a 1.5-mile radius.

The neighborhood features a rich assortment of housing options among the museums of art, history, nature, science, and culture. Historic estates, chic condos and lofts, luxury townhomes, and patio homes line the neighborhood’s streets.

Museum District real estate has steadily appreciated over the past decade, from $438,075 in 2005 to $739,756 in 2014. This upward trend is related to the steady number of new construction projects and increased interest in the area.

The Houston Museum District is within the 77004, 77005, 77006, 77030, and 77098 Harris County zip codes.

Benefits Of Working With The Houston Properties Team

Our team, composed of distinguished and competent Houston luxury realtors, has a well-defined structure based on the individual strengths of each member.

We find the team approach as the most effective way to sell homes. We have dedicated people doing staging, marketing, social media, open houses, and showings. Each Houston Properties Team member is a specialist in their role—which is why our homes sell faster and for more money than average.

The benefits of working with a team include:

• the ability to be in two or three places at one time; a member can handle showings, while another answer calls
• collective time and experience of members
• targeted advice and marketing of agent expert in your area
• competitive advantage by simply having more resources, more ideas, and more perspectives
• a “checks and balances” system; selling and buying a home in Houston is an intensely complex process
• more people addressing field calls and questions from buyers and agents to facilitate a faster, successful sale
• efficient multi-tasking; one agent takes care of inspections and repair work, while another agent focuses on administrative details
• multiple marketing channels using members’ networks
• constant attention: guaranteed focus on your home and your transaction
• lower risk for mistakes. Multiple moving parts increase oversights. A team approach handles these “parts” separately
