“Paige Martin and her team are THE condo experts in Houston. Paige has literally written the book (The Definitive Houston Condo Buying Guide) about buying a condo in Houston. They know what buildings to avoid, what floor plans to be wary about, and they have relationships to help with off market inventory and sales. If you’re considering buying or selling a condo (new construction or one of the current buildings) I would highly recommend you talk to them. You won’t find any other Realtor or team who is as knowledgeable as they are about the pro’s and con’s of Houston’s highrise buildings. They are fabulous to work with, are very candid with their advice and will look out for your best interests. I highly recommend the HoustonProperties.com team.”
- OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AND GREEN SPACE: Residents are minutes from outdoor activity areas and green spaces in Memorial Park, the largest urban park in Houston. Memorial Park features tennis courts, volleyball courts, a fitness center, swimming pool, skating rinks, bike trails and a three-mile running course. The top-rated Memorial Park Golf Course, located within Memorial Park, has a course rating of 73 and a slope rating of 122. The park also hosts the annual Spring Bayou City Art Festival.
Buying in The Montebello can be tricky for several reasons. First, prices have fluctuated a bit with the recent launch of so many new construction luxury condos.
In addition, while there is about a $10k per floor premium, certain units overlook disadvantaged locations and have more freeway noise than others – impacting values. Also, since the building was constructed in 2003, some units are starting to go through recent upgrades and renovations. All of these factors need to be taken into account when evaluating a unit’s fair value price.
