    Montrose Renters Forced Out

    Residents of three Montrose apartment complexes are being forced out for a new upscale development

    Elizabeth Rhodes
    Aug 2, 2014 | 12:02 pm

    In light of the burgeoning demand for new upscale Inner Loop apartments, the tenants of three adjacent two-story apartment complexes in the Winlow Place area of Montrose have been asked to vacate by the end of this month.

     

    The aging apartment complexes, constructed in the 1950s and '60s, are located at 1920 West Alabama Street, 2810 McDuffie and 1924 Marshall and were sold by Prestige Holdings this spring. The new owner, City Centre at Midtown, LLC, is managed by Ruslan Krivoruchko, who also manages Dolce Living Investments, LLC.

     

    Dolce Living, known for building upscale apartment homes in suburban areas across Texas and Florida, is already in the process of constructing its first Inner Loop development, a five-story, 176,344-square-foot mixed-use apartment complex located in the Fourth Ward on West Gray at Bailey Street.

     

     

      Aging complexes — which generally offer much lower rent than their new counterparts — are being demolished, leaving lower-income residents with fewer housing options. 

     
     

    The three Montrose apartment complexes comprise a total of 73 apartments and sit on 1.58 acres of land at West Alabama (between Hazard and Huldy Street) and McDuffie.

     

    Notices for abandonment, sent to residents by the property manager, said that City Centre at Midtown is planning to demolish the complexes in September and that new apartments will be constructed on the site. The notice also informs residents they must vacate their apartments by Aug. 31 and offers prorated rent for August, according to Swamplot. Residents at the Montrose apartment complexes are varied, with occupants ranging from students to retirees.

     

    "The entire apartment market is hot, and it's been hot for several years now because of the job growth driven by the oil industry," Bruce McClenny, president of Apartment Data Services Inc., a local multifamily research firm, tells the Houston Business Journal. "With a lot of people coming to town, there's tremendous demand for housing."

     

    From the Heights area to Montrose and Midtown, the high demand for new garden-style, mid-rise and high-rise apartment complexes inside the Loop means aging complexes — which generally offer much lower rent than their new counterparts — are being demolished, leaving lower-income residents with fewer housing options.

    Construction on Dolce Living's five-story, 176,344-square-foot mid-rise on West Grey at Bailey Street is ongoing.

    Rent report

    This Houston suburb had the highest apartment rent prices in June

    The City of Sugar Land, Texas – City Government/Facebook
    The asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Sugar Land was $1,450 in June, and two-bedroom units were $1,870.

    Apartment rent prices in June were more expensive in Sugar Land than they were anywhere else in Houston, according to the latest monthly rental report from Zumper.

    The rent report, which analyzed active listings from the previous month across all cities in the Houston metro, tracks the most and least expensive rent prices for one- and two-bedroom apartments, and determines the cities with the fastest growing rents. Listings were aggregated by city to calculate median asking rents.

    Despite having the most expensive rent in the Houston area last month, the asking rent for one--bedroom apartments in Sugar Land was technically lower than it was a year ago. Sugar Land's asking rent for one-bedrooms dropped 0.7 percent year-over-year to $1,450, while asking prices for two-bedroom units grew 3.3 percent to $1,870.

    Galveston saw the highest jump in one-bedroom prices year-over-year this past June, with asking rent for single-bedroom units rising 2.7 percent to $1,140. Two-bedroom apartments in Galveston dropped 2 percent year-over-year to $1,450.

    One-bedroom rent in Pearland decreased 1.5 percent to $1,340 in June, which Zumper found was the second-highest rent price in Houston. Year-over-year prices for two-bedroom units rose nearly 3 percent to $1,770.

    Houston proper had the third most expensive rent in the metro area last month, with prices for one-bedroom units remaining flat year-over-year at $1,280, while two-bedroom units decreased 7.4 percent to $1,500.

    Houston-area cities with affordable rent compared to the statewide median
    Zumper's report revealed that the median asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Texas came out to $1,134 last month, but there was no figure given for two-bedroom units.

    Out of the 13 Houston-area cities included in the report, six had affordable asking rent prices lower than the statewide median: Huntsville ($850), Pasadena ($900), Texas City ($910), Lake Jackson ($920), Baytown ($940), and La Porte ($1,100).

    Huntsville rent prices were the cheapest in the metro last month, but rent in Baytown decreased the most dramatically since last year with prices plunging 14.5 percent. Huntsville's current asking price is 5.6 percent lower than it was this time last year, which was the second-lowest drop.

    These are the June rent prices for one-bedroom apartments in the three remaining Houston-area cities:

    • League City – $1,200
    • Spring – $1,180
    • Conroe – $1,150
