Ahhhhh, luxury shopping and dining snuggled between a bank, and section 8 housing…
That Lennar complex is right around the corner from that huge warehouse fire a few months ago. Hmmmmm….
The Lennar property has to be one of the worst ideas I have ever seen.

There is a ton of residential going in on Knoll Street. Even more going on one street to the east on Hollister. Franks Kolbe Farms to the north. I mean you are right by the Whataburger on LP, talk about an amenity!
Competitive edge for homebuyers is to get prequalified and preaproved? Thanks for the tip….
3 ways Houston home buyers can get a competitive edge:
1. Don’t buy during an oil boom
2. Buy during an oil bust
3. Don’t buy during the next oil boom
