Midtown Homes For Sale

Midtown sits just west and southwest of Downtown, on the other side of the elevated I-45, with Montrose to the west and the Museum District to the south. Its 325 blocks follow a continuation of the Downtown street grid, which makes it easy to navigate on foot. The METRORail Red Line runs along Main Street with three Midtown stops, Wheeler, Ensemble/HCC and McGowen, so Downtown offices, the Museum District and the Medical Center are all a short ride away.

Midtown started as a Victorian residential area in the 1800s, faded through much of the twentieth century, and then came back with purpose. The Midtown Redevelopment Authority formed in the early 1990s, a tax increment zone followed in 1995 and the Midtown Management District in 1999. The neighborhood’s population more than doubled between 2000 and 2020. Housing today includes apartments, condos, townhomes, patio homes, lofts and some single-family homes, with many of the newer upscale townhomes concentrated in western Midtown.

Green space has been part of the plan. Midtown Park at Bagby and Gray is a neighborhood gathering spot, and Elizabeth Baldwin Park on Elgin Street includes a Vietnamese Heritage Plaza that honors the community that helped shape the area. The Ensemble Theatre, Isabella Court and the Museum of African-American Culture add character, and the restaurant and nightlife scene draws people from across the city. Houston Fire Department Station 7, which first opened in 1878, is still a neighborhood landmark, and Houston Community College’s Central campus sits in Midtown as well. Public schools are in Houston ISD, and we confirm the zoned campuses for each home.

Selling a Midtown townhome or condo means standing out in a neighborhood with a lot of new product. Stacy can help you understand what your Midtown home is worth and how to present it against newer construction nearby. If you are moving up from a Midtown condo to a house elsewhere in Houston, we can plan both sides of the move together.
