Buying a condo in The Arabella can be tricky given the building’s design – higher floor units have larger floor plans, some units have private elevator entries, and certain views are superior to others affecting the value of the units.

There are no historical sales trends (like you can find from some of Houston’s top-performing luxury condos because it is a construction building. The Inner Loop is also home to numerous condo and loft buildings, each with its pros and cons. An Arabella condo buyer would benefit from a good realtor’s advice, especially on how the building and unit compare to other residential condos in the district.

To get personal advice on buying a lease on The Arabella, contact Paige Martin, one of Houston’s best condo realtors and one of the top-ranked Realtors in the United States.

“Brad and Laura were amazing and exceeded my expectations. They helped me and my family selling our old home and buying a new one. They were both very professional, knowledgeable and respectful of my time and my family. I have 2 teenagers and a dog that can make anyone's job challenging but they were able to accommodate to our schedule and always seem calm and confident that everything was going to be ok. A process that could have been stressful was actually a pleasure. From the staging and pictures to the day we sold our house everything was great and the house sold really quick at a very good price. Brad was always a call away and was very responsive to any question we might have; excellent communication and customer service skills. Brad was with us every step of the way and did not miss anything for the house we sold and the house we bought; he recommended a very good inspector who was able to find some issues with our new house that the builder was able to fix before we signed on the contract to buy our new house; Brad also went to the final walk through with me and helped me checking the house one last time since my husband was not going to be able to go. Everything from day one was first class with Brad and Laura. I would recommend them as realtors to anyone I know. We hope to stay in this new house for a while but I will definitely contact them the next time I sell and/or buy a new house!” - Paula Sutton (Google Review)
