Cesar Cazares Mansion At 5006 Fulton St.
rps324 replied to rps324's topic in Other Houston Neighborhoods
I did find out the owners live in a house now that is on Milwaukee and Fulton. A newer construction red brick faux Georgian. Apparently it is not grand enough. Apparently this is UPPER Fulton now -
Has anyone else seen that McMansion going in on the edge of Lindale Park facing Fulton? It is a huge house, it looks about 7000 square feet on a track that runs the full length of the block, facing Fulton. What's up with that? Has anyone else seen this? It is between Cavalcade and 610.

I got an e-mail from him about the Glenbrook Valley web site. I saw one of the houses he redid in Eastwood received a good brick award from GHPA.

Riverside has some incredible homes, but the prices can get up there. Idylwood and Houston Country Club Estates are two must see, along with Glenbrook Valley & Eastwood.

No, that is not true. The practice of "redlining" was outlawed years ago, I believe in 1968.

Winhall Condominiums At 1525 Garrettson Ln.
rps324 replied to gallerialiving's topic in Historic Houston
Those will probably be there for some time. Houston has no zoning & you always have a mixed bag in every part of town. You can pay top dollar to live in the Montebello, and have these less expensive ones a block over, or you can buy a house in River Oaks on Shepherd, and overlook a car lot. That's just Houston. -
Yes, Karpas properties has the listings. I will get the details. I do remember seeing the price list and they started at $180,000

Poor old Gunspoint, they tried all that cityview renovation with the apartments behind it. The whole concept was modeled after a successful redo Lincoln Property Company did in Dallas. Unfortunately it flopped here. It seems like Greenspoint is too far out for more urban people, and with so much retail, etc at Willowbrook & on 1960, has little to draw people past all that from the North. The reputation is just too ingrained it seems. I would like to see something more inspired at Northline, but since I am currently living in Lindale Park & even basic retail is at a minimum around here, I would be thrilled to have a Target and a Gulfgate-esque type HEB just to have something close. I know we are supposed to demand better development, but at this point I will take any improvement I can get!!!

If you try apartmentguide.com or forrent.com, they are probably on one or both sites. You can also check out apartmentratings.com. It is a site where people can post WHATEVER they want about the apartments they live(d) in. Of course you have to take some comments with a grain of salt.

Forest Hill Neighborhood Real Estate
rps324 replied to a topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
There is something in the architectural guide to Houston about those two, the big colonial and the Spanish one, but I can't lay my hands on my copy. Can somebody look those up?... -

Meyerland/Willowbend/Westbury Real Estate
rps324 replied to slck2's topic in Other Houston Neighborhoods
Of course when it comes to growth and decline patterns, it seems like Houston sets its own path and doesn't always follow other cities precedents. I think a lot of Houston's "first ring" suburbs have already "cycled" through their decline and have bounced back, with the decline and stagnation then moving to what I guess you would call a second or third suburban ring. Inner-loop Southwest on thru Meyerland is extremely strong, pushing any ring of decline arguably out as far as Fondren and beyond. Northwest is similiar. Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, Spring Branch all saw declines in the past, and while parts of Oak Forest and Spring Branch can look a little sketchy, they are rebounding nicely, or already have rebounded, pushing the ring of decline out to starting more at Inwood & stretching to parts of FM 1960.- 142 replies

Will The Real Montrose Please Stand Up?
rps324 replied to dbigtex56's topic in General Houston Discussions
The same company does the decorations for the River Oaks Shopping Center, Meyerland, Champions Village, Woodlands Mall, and so forth, it may be because they are limited in their ability to get everyone down at once. Last year, though, didn't they want to leave lighting up through super bowl or something? Or did I imagine that? Seems like I heard that somewhere. -
