Property Management in Historic District

Preserving Houston’s Oldest Architecture Through Expert Property Management

Advantage Property Management in Historic District

Houston's Historic District encompasses the Old Sixth Ward — home to the highest concentration of Victorian-era buildings in Houston — and the Fourth Ward's Freedmen's Town, where shotgun houses built by freed slaves beginning in 1866 still stand. A protected Historic District since 2007, this area features Gulf Coast Colonial and Greek Revival architecture from 1850-1890 alongside Folk Victorian homes from 1870-1910. With strict design guidelines governing renovations and new construction, and a multicultural heritage shaped by German, Italian, Swedish, Vietnamese, and Mexican immigrants, these properties demand a manager who balances heritage preservation with modern investment returns.
