But if you know anything about the Houston rental market, you know that you\'re not going to get EVERYTHING you want in an in-town apartment for under $800/month... probably not even for $1000/month. (My 750 s.f. 1 br apartments in Montrose--which are nice--but not nearly as nice as these--rent for $1095/mo. My 700 s.f. 1 br apartments @ Kirby & 59--which are comparable to these in finishes--rent for for $1145/mo.)

So, if you are looking at apartments \"inside the loop\"--and your budget is only $800-900/month--you are going to have to make some sacrifices. And in this case, it\'s location.

This property is located near the Eastwood area--a historic neighborhood just southeast of downtown Houston, which is comparable to the Heights & Montrose in style and vintage (1920s to 1940s), but is not yet as \"gentrified\" as those other two innerloop neighborhoods. (Give me a few years... I\'m working on it.)

Distance wise the property is exactly 4 miles from downtown Houston, 2.5 miles from the University of Houston main campus, & less than 10 miles from MD Anderson hospital in the Medical Center (and Rice University).

This building has been restored (not renovated) in a true, 1930s vintage style. I guarantee that you will not find anything even remotely similar to these units anywhere in town--at any price. Real hardwood floors (not plastic, laminate hardwood-\"look\" flooring)... all original wood sash windows (all re-hung, functioning and totally restored)... big, thick 3-panel Craftsman doors with big thick vintage casing and trim... formal dining with built-ins and tall Craftsman wainscoting... vintage look kitchens with glass-front cabinets w/seedy glass, deep under-mount stainless sinks, vintage wall-mount faucets, subway tile and stone countertops... vintage style baths with subway tile, big tiled-in mirrors, lots of built-in cabinets, and mosaic tile floors... BIG closets... new central A/C & heat... great lighting--including vintage sconces and recessed lighting... ETC.

And a nice, free, shared, common laundry (only four units use this laundry area) right outside your back door (inside the back entry of the building).

As with all of my other properties we\'ve set up high-speed internet with WiFi at this building for the tenants to share. Gas, water, AND internet are master-metered and run about $35/month/person... so, all you need to do is have the power turned on in your name and you\'re golden.

If you can find a nicer apartment--ANYWHERE inside the loop--for less money... I\'ll give you $200 cash.
