Encore On The Bay
Encore on the Bay, 296-unit, class B- multifamily property built in 1970 and located in Seabrook, Texas.
Location
Encore occupies a prominent bayfront location on NASA parkway only 4 minutes from the Johnson Space Center and 8 minutes from the HCA Houston Medical complex in Webster.
Seabrook is among the most affordable areas for the quality in all of Houston due to its growth in rent comps. This strong affordability and upper workforce / renter-by-necessity population makes this area extremely attractive.
