Lindale Park (Houston, Irving, Fulton: crime, house, neighborhoods)

[rp123403]

I am planning a move in the next few months and was looking at Lindale Park.

I do not know much about the area and would like any feedback you guys could provide.

Thanks!

I know the area well and have friends that live there. I had a garage apt there while my house was being rehabbed.

Crime is low. They have a civic club & web site Lindale Park Civic Club, Houston Texas The side between Irvington and Fulton is considered the "brick side" where the homes are generally nicer and brick veneer. The east side is the "wood side" where the homes are more modest between Irvington and Robertson.

The metro rail line is supposed to go up Fulton to Northline. That should be a boost to the area when ever it happens. Northline being rebuilt will provide some much needed retail in the area.

About the worst thing is the lack of retail. Other than a multitude of Mexican restaurants (some quite good) along Irvington, dining and grocery options require a little bit of driving.

The area has appreciated fairly well too. Prices have roughly doubled over the last 10 years.

Overall it is a good, more affordable alternative to places like the Heights.

I think Lindale Park will become very strong in the next few years, as far as prices. If you are going to buy in there, do it now.

It already has and continues to do so.

They have broke ground on Metrorail between Cavalcade and 610, on Fulton. There are lots of businesses for sale on Fulton now. It will be interesting what becomes of Fulton in the near future.
