    Blending art and function

    Bespoke and modern Montrose home hits the market for $2.5 million

    When home buyers want something that fully blends interior and outdoor space, the something they want would be a lot like 1529 Indiana Street. This bespoke residence, tucked into a corner lot along a historic brick-paved street, partially hidden behind a wide, wooden fence, is a beautiful expression of modern design.

    It’s on the market for $2.575 million and represented by Vicki Barazandeh of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty. The 3,900-square-foot home has three bedrooms and three full baths, along with a host of stunning details.

    Originally belonging to a builder, developer, and art collector who designed the home in collaboration with Ragni Studio, the Hyde Park home has a downstairs main living area that opens to the pool and grass, creating a great room. The open space provides incredible sight lines, and the floor-to-ceiling windows allow for loads of natural light. The second-level primary bedroom floats over the pool below, providing shade while offering sweeping treetop views.

    1529 Indiana Street offers seamless living, where inside and outside elements blend together.

    Exquisite details abound throughout the home. Think floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, book-matched stone slabs, and a modern white stucco exterior with warm Brazilian walnut Ipe accents. In the chef's kitchen, find Poliform cabinetry, Calacatta marble, Dornbracht fixtures, and Gaggenau appliances.

    Surrounded by mature oaks, 1529 Indiana lends itself to entertaining, with spaces for family and friends both inside and out. Those with an art collection will love the way the home lends itself to showcasing an array of paintings, prints, and other objects d’art.

    Those seeking a home that stands out from the crowd will want to look closely here.

    housing boom

    Houston booms as No. 2 market for new home construction in the U.S.

    Dallas has the highest concentration of new home development in the nation.

    Houston's real estate market is getting hotter and hotter: A new housing report from ConsumerAffairs has revealed Houston is home to the second-highest concentration of new home development in the nation. Over 9,000 new residential building permits were issued citywide in the first two months of 2026 alone.

    The research team at ConsumerAffairs analyzed data on new building permits and new construction home sales across 150 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas in January and February of 2026. Cities were scored using two equally weighted metrics: total new residential building permits (sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Building Permits Survey) and total new construction home sales (sourced from Zillow) during the two-month period.

    Texas is home to four of the top 10 cities with the highest rates of new home construction, and Dallas booted Houston from the top spot down to No. 2, with Austin (No. 7) moving up the ladder and San Antonio slipping into 10th place.

    The report found 9,239 new building permits were issued and 3,535 new construction homes were sold across January and February in Houston. Only New York City and Dallas have issued more permits than Houston, but the city still holds the top spot for the highest number of new-build homes sold during the two-month stretch.

    The Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands metro additionally ranks No. 2 for new home construction in a separate ranking across the biggest U.S. metros. Nearly 66,000 new residential units — single-family homes, apartments, and condos — were authorized in the greater Houston area in 2024.

    Dallas overtakes Houston for the most new home construction
    Dallas led the nation with the highest concentration of new home construction, the report found. Over 11,000 new building permits have been issued in Dallas during the first two months of 2026, and 3,009 newly built homes were sold during the same period.

    ConsumerAffairs said Dallas City Council has spent the last year making changes to residential housing codes to fight the city's housing shortage, thus driving the boom in new housing development.

    "Previously, buildings with more than two residential housing units had to comply with the International Building Code, adding obstacles and costs for developers," the report said. "The revised code allows buildings with up to eight units to be constructed with looser regulations."

    The top 10 U.S. cities building the most new homes in 2026 are:

    • No. 1 – Dallas
    • No. 2 – Houston
    • No. 3 – New York City
    • No. 4 – Phoenix
    • No. 5 – Atlanta
    • No. 6 – Los Angeles
    • No. 7 – Austin
    • No. 8 – Washington, D.C.
    • No. 9 – Charlotte, North Carolina
    • No. 10 – San Antonio
