“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 Houston Properties Team.”
- METRORAIL ACCESS : The METRORail Red line is easily accessible from Keystone Lofts. The nearest METRORail stop is Central Station, just 2 blocks away from the building. The METRORail, the second most-travelled light rail in the southern United States, provides residents direct access to and from Houston’s key districts like The Medical Center, EaDo, and Museum District. (See Houston Highrises Near The Metrorail Guide.)
Buying a condo in Keystone Lofts can be tricky. Because there are only 34 units in the building (and some units don’t sell on the public MLS), it’s important to use a Realtor who is familiar with the building and the non-MLS sales to determine fair values. In addition, a few of Keystone’s premier units have the most spectacular historic loft views in the city (seeing the city over the green spaces in the Christ Church Cathedral complex). These units don’t come on the market often, but impact values in the building (and need to be factored into fair values). Furthermore, there have been a large number of construction projects within three blocks of Keystone recently – impacting the views and implied pricing on several specific floor plans.
