903 Oakhurst St $850

Description

With 200+ unit beehive complexes being all the rage, it seems no one is paying attention to classic Houston housing in its many walkable neighborhoods. Being over 70 years-old, the building in which this rental unit resides has stood the test of time and will not be swayed by the passing fads of beehive living: fickle will-o'-wisps that have not paid their dues. The apartment on offer has been remodeled, but preserves many of the vintage touches that make it worthwhile. Don't be fooled by the superficial and cosmetically pleasing French doors and luxury vinyl tile. This building is firmly rooted to a time when a handshake was a man's word and a candy bar cost you a nickel.

It is a member of the slowly fading Missing Middle housing stock. "Missing Middle is a range of multi-unit or clustered housing types compatible in scale with single-family homes that help meet the growing demand for walkable urban living. These types provide diverse housing options along a spectrum of affordability, including duplexes, fourplexes, and bungalow courts, to support walkable communities, locally-serving retail, and public transportation options."

The apartment for rent at $875 resides in a 6-plex. The surrounding housing structures in the neighborhood are well maintained single-family homes and the ubiquitous townhomes are moving in this direction. The layout and location of this particular cluster of homes is special in that they have just the right amount of space between each other to preserve privacy while still making the denizens feel like they are part of a tightly-nit community. The combination of the two foregoing elements contribute to keeping the neighborhood safe as I've been able to experience from living here. Come schedule an appointment to view this apartment!
