CONDO LIFE

- By Valerie Sweeten CORRESPOND­ENT

Mid-rise Museum BLVD has central location, access to venues.

If living in Houston’s Museum District appeals to you, Museum BLVD, the new 37-residence mid-rise, could be the perfect residence option.

With offerings of both one- and two-bedroom floor plan options, the appeal of “location, location, location,” and a bountiful handful of amenities, it is worth a look.

Located at 4819 Caroline St., Museum BLVD gives residents the ability to quickly get to the Texas Medical Center, Rice University, downtown Houston and a wide variety of parks and entertainm­ent venues such as Hermann Park, the Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theater and multiple venues in the Museum District.

Jason Lee Villarreal, CNE, a Realtor with Martha Turner Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty, said the proximity to The Ion, which is a few hundred feet north, is also appealing to residents.

“Residents love the area’s vibrancy and the proximity of The Ion, the future nucleus for innovation spearheade­d by Rice University. It’s also common to see residents walking their four-legged friends on Caroline Street, as Hermann Park is located less than a mile away,” Villarreal said.

When it comes to their condos, there is much to love about this lifestyle.

Villarreal said the community was designed around a large outdoor terrace that extends into the living area of each condominiu­m, offering even more space to relax.

Features include 9-foot ceilings throughout the home and European-inspired interiors. Profession­ally coordinate­d design packages include cabinetry, wall tiles, backsplash­es, countertop­s, and flooring imported exclusivel­y from Europe for the bathrooms and kitchens. Also included are kitchen appliances and washer/ dryer connection­s.

Residents can also enjoy a four-star security system that monitors access to the gated garage, elevator, and corridors.

“Built by award-winning developer Surge Homes, an emphasis was placed on privacy with electronic security access points and cameras located in all common areas,” Villarreal said. “With some of the lowest HOA dues in the entire city, this community has a high ranking amongst its peers.”

Surge Homes has been recognized for its excellence in the condominiu­m market as it was inducted into the William S. Marvin Hall of Fame for Design Excellence by Builder magazine.

In 2016, Surge Homes were named Houston Agents’ Choice Award Developer of the Year and selected as one of five national nominees for Constructi­on Dive’s Homebuildi­ng Innovator of the Year.

Surge Homes’ other property, Parc at Midtown at 2401 Crawford St., was selected as a finalist for a 2017 National Associatio­n of Home Builders Award in the category of Best Condominiu­m Community.

At Museum BLVD, homeowners will also have an insurance-backed 10year warranty from the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, one of the nation’s largest warranty programs.
