About 1218 Genova Street
1218 Genova St. presents a rare opportunity to create value in the rapidly evolving Northside neighborhood. Ideal for investors, builders, or buyers with vision, this property offers flexibility for a variety of paths—whether as a long-term rental, renovation project, resale opportunity, or a clean slate for new construction. Situated on a well-located lot with easy access to major highways, Downtown Houston, The Heights, local dining, and entertainment, the location supports strong rental demand and long-term appreciation. The existing 1940s bungalow provides a solid foundation for renovation, showcasing the charm and craftsmanship that are increasingly hard to find in modern construction, while the lot itself offers excellent potential for a new build tailored to today’s market. The property features an inviting front porch, original details, and a spacious lot with mature trees. The surrounding community is welcoming, with nearby schools, parks, and local shops a short drive away.

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
