I posted this in Real Estate forum, but figured I'd post here as well...
I'm looking for general thoughts on the Cottage Grove neighborhood in terms of both a place to live and as an investment. We are looking at the 3bed/3bath townhomes and have seen a few we like, but driving through the neighborhood seems like a nightmare with narrow streets and so many homes. I understand this is a common theme ITL Houston and assume you get over it, but it seemed like it may be worse than other spots I've lived/driven ITL? I wish they wouldn't have jammed so many houses in there, but understand $$$ drives decisions.
Additionally, seeking opinions on how those homes might hold their value over the next 3-5 years? I did see that InTown homes is building an additional "community" to the northwest side and Fenway Development owns the remaining property to the north of the existing neighborhood and south of the bayou. We're also considering places in the Rice Military for comparison. Not opposed to making upgrades to an older home in the Rice Military area instead.
