Lindale Park is a neighborhood of approximately 1,200 homesites located 3 miles north of Downtown Houston. I believe it could turn into the next Houston Heights, thanks to:
Buying or selling a home in Lindale Park can be tricky due to several factors, including proximity to main roads and freeways (which can hurt resale values), MetroRail access (you want to be close to but not too close), deed restrictions (there are pro’s and con’s to this, depending on your goals), and home quality issues. The neighborhood is still gentrifying so certain blocks sell for a premium / discount.

Lindale Park real estate posted steady appreciation in the last 10 years. The median sales price of homes in the neighborhood has been over $200,000 since 2013, peaking at around $275,000 in 2015.
Factors that contributed to this rise include: the completion of the METRORail Red Line (which brought additional mobility to and from business and employment centers in downtown and the Medical Center); highly competitive housing markets in close-in neighborhoods (especially in the Heights and the Garden Oaks/Oak Forest areas); and rising demand for homes close to downtown.

The neighborhood is known for its bungalows and vintage cottages, though there are also some two-story homes in the area. Most Lindale Park homes date back to the 1940s and 1950s. Some properties have been updated, though others will require some renovation.
Architectural styles vary – ranch-style homes and traditional cottages are common in the area. New construction Lindale Park homes tend to lean more toward modern and contemporary designs. Most of the area’s old homes are of brick, wood, or brick-veneer construction.

There are, however, plenty of options nearby. Northside Village (Near Northside), East Downtown (EaDo), and the Heights all feature townhomes – some within upscale gated communities.

There are no Lindale Park condos for sale, though there are a few midrise condos in Greater Heights. For more options, homebuyers may check out downtown’s many lofts and luxury highrise condos. Midtown and the Museum District also have a number of condos available – all within minutes of the METRORail.

Lindale Park was founded in 1937, under developer W. Roy Reid. The neighborhood was built beside the Lindale Place community golf course, and also boasted of a community lake/swimming pool nearby. Later, the golf course was closed in favor of more homes.
The Reids built their own house in Lindale Park.
Architectural styles in the neighborhood underwent a shift, specifically post-WWII. Before the war, the neighborhood was mostly cottages with exterior brickwork and detailed archways. Other features distinct to homes in the neighborhood include peaked roofs.
Post-WWII saw the entry of ranch-style homes in the community.
Some time in the 1970s, Lindale Park’s original deed restrictions lapsed. Some years later in the 1980s, resident-volunteers worked toward re-implementing the neighborhood’s deed restrictions. Other community improvements (water system upgrades, street resurfacing, street lighting, and overall beautification) was also made through the efforts of the Lindale Park Civic Club.
Today, most of Lindale Park’s original homes from the 1940s and 1950s still stand. Vintage bungalows, traditional style cottages, and ranch-style homes are common in the area.
Lindale Park is mostly residential, though there are some restaurants, retail stores and other commercial establishments just outside the neighborhood. There are a few along Cavalcade, Fulton, and Irvington.
For outdoor activities, residents can take a short walk to Irvington Park (on 1000 W Cavalcade St.), an open air park with a baseball field. Moody Park is farther south on 3725 Fulton Street.
More options are available in downtown and the Museum District – both a short drive or commute away from Lindale Park. The Heights, just across I-45, also has several retail, dining, and nightlife options available.
