Next Neighbourhoods: Museum District, Houston, US
Jared Bonasera of Douglas Elliman Houston, Knight Frank's US Partner, reveals why Museum District isn’t just the beating cultural heart of Houston, it’s one of the top cultural spots in the US
Why is it up and coming?
Developers are attracted by its diverse architecture and easy access to Downtown, Midtown and the Texas Medical Centre via the METRORail. Residents are also just a walk away from museums, Hermann Park and the Houston Zoo. Real estate offerings include new luxury condos next to a mix of older bungalows, historical estates, gated garden homes and later townhouse developments.
My favourite bits
Hermann Park is perfect for a picnic with friends or catching a concert at the Miller Outdoor Theatre. Hotel ZaZa offers an elegant setting for cocktails and business meetings, and I recommend the omakase at MF Sushi.
Who’s buying?
Native Houstonians and a growing international crowd. Condominium developments such as The Mondrian at the Museums offer empty nesters, Medical Center physicians and art enthusiasts luxury living in the cultural heart of the neighbourhood.
What will my money buy me?
A two-bedroom condo with large terrace is just under US$1.5 million. A five-bedroom new construction home is between US$2 million and US$4 million.
