Located in the heart of downtown Houston, this loft-style unit at 909 Texas Ave showcases a compelling mix of historic industrial character and contemporary upgrades. The main living area is an open, airy space defined by warm hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and original structural beams overhead. Visible ductwork and a ceiling fan with light fixture contribute to the loft's industrial aesthetic, while large windows allow natural light to pour in and offer views of the surrounding urban landscape. The kitchen is efficiently designed with gray flat-front cabinetry, white subway tile backsplash, and light quartz countertops. Stainless steel appliances — including a range, over-the-range microwave, and refrigerator — are complemented by a black dishwasher and a single-basin sink. A sliding barn door separates the kitchen from the living area, reinforcing the industrial design theme. The bathroom features a clean, modern aesthetic with a blue-gray vanity, quartz countertop, framed mirror, and matte black hardware accents. A glass-enclosed walk-in shower with white subway tile adds a polished touch, and large-format floor tiles complete the space. Additional rooms include a closet and a utility room, rounding out a well-appointed and functional floor plan in a distinctive downtown setting.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
