Updated 3BR/2BA Ranch on Spacious MacGregor Lot Near Texas Southern University
This updated ranch-style home sits in MacGregor, one of Houston’s long-established neighborhoods, and combines midcentury bones with contemporary finishes. Built in 1950, the single-story residence provides roughly 1,400 square feet of living area arranged as three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property is owner-occupied and benefits from a clear residential context with nearby institutional anchors that shape local demand.
Interiors have documented updates, including a modernized kitchen and contemporary finishes reported in public records. The home is configured for year-round comfort with central air conditioning and central heating, and the structure is wood-frame with a shingle roof. The layout and one-level plan support accessibility and straightforward maintenance; the listing record notes the condition as good, while recommended verifications call for an inspection focused on aging structural elements given the 1950 construction date.
The site is a notable asset: a level, approximately 7,000-square-foot lot provides a sizable backyard for recreation or expansions, and parking is accommodated by a detached 1-car garage plus driveway for additional spaces. Utilities are municipal (water and sewer) with CenterPoint Energy servicing gas and electric. Comparable nearby sales and rental listings in the MacGregor area underpin both owner-occupier and investor interest—lease comp data and the platform’s rental analysis indicate roughly $1,750–$1,850 per month in the immediate neighborhood, supporting a rental estimate near $1,800/month.
MacGregor’s location reinforces the property’s appeal. Texas Southern University sits about half a mile away, the Medical Center and Hermann Park are within roughly 1.5 miles, and other major city attractions are close by. Local schools show mixed ratings, so buyers with school-age children should weigh school performance alongside other neighborhood benefits. From a market perspective, recent area trends indicate moderate seller-side strength with constrained inventory; the broader neighborhood has recorded modest short-term appreciation and stronger multi-year gains. Recommended next steps before any acquisition: verify lot and survey details, confirm zoning and land-use permissions with the City of Houston, and complete a focused structural inspection.
