Giddings 2nd Add.
Walkable near top schools
Median $345K·Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 4.0/10
You're looking at two acres wedged into the heart of Midtown, which means downtown is basically a three-minute drive away and you can walk to a coffee shop in four minutes—the kind of proximity that sounds theoretical until you actually live it. Homes here run around $345K, and they tend to be the older stock: Victorian and Foursquare character that's been maintained without losing its bones. Transit access is immediate, restaurants cluster thick enough that choosing where to eat becomes the real problem, and Midtown Green sits practically on your doorstep for the dog or just an afternoon in the weather. The lot sizes are small—under a tenth of an acre—which means you're not maintaining an estate, but you're also not pretending to roughing it out in the suburbs. Forest Hills Public Schools covers the area, and the Gerald R. Ford Airport is about twenty minutes out when you need it.
