^That doesn't look like the safest place to catch some shut eye.

Okay, now here's the scary part. I think I recognize that spot. I think that is Union Street right off Taylor street by Chef Monica Pope's new place Beaver's. The edge of the historic 6th ward and a block or so from those trendy Washington Ave wine bars and just down from the Drake. Those houses right there are worth over $200,000 if that is where I am thinking it is.

I used to live a few blocks from there, so if you wonder why I find Glenbrook so tame, well...

Here is one for sale a couple of blocks down.

2017 Union St, Houston, TX 77007

So, actually, yeah, I guess up & coming transitional it is!

P.S.

I found the house next door to my old one for sale, yikes! Up and coming, it up and left without me I think!

That pic is taken from the other side of the vacant lot on the far side.

The suburban style office parks and strip malls of Houston:


I'm waiting for uptown to become more walkable. It still is a little to car dependant and filled with parking lots.


The upscale street signs surrounding the Galleria


I have hope that one day the buses will fill up. More than 6% of us should be using public transport.

Well folks, you heard right here!! If PC words like 'transitional' ever come up in a thread here to describe a neighborhood, you know what they really mean. Actually I jest (but only partially).

Anyway, I'll bet that house is worth about $25k and the land is worth $175k. Kinda reminds me of Port Arthur, and even some very old neighborhoods around McAllen. But definitely looks like a perfect candidate for "tear down & rebuild". That's completely cliche to Houston, but is probably the most cost effective thing to do for the long-term.
