Northeast Houston Multifamily Spotlight: Kashmere Gardens and Trinity Gardens (77028)
Duplexes, fourplexes and small income properties a short drive from Downtown Houston
Overview
Northeast Houston, inside and just outside the North Loop, is one of the most active small multifamily pockets in the city. Kashmere Gardens and Trinity Gardens, both in ZIP code 77028, mix older single family homes on wide lots with a growing number of duplexes and new construction fourplexes. For investors and owner occupants who want rental income, it is one of the lower entry price areas close to the urban core.
Kashmere Gardens is one of the City of Houston Complete Communities, a program that directs planning and investment into specific neighborhoods.
Location and commute
The area sits along Interstate 69 and Loop 610 North, with Interstate 10 a short drive south. A current fourplex listing on Kittridge Street describes Downtown Houston as less than 15 minutes away, and the Northside and East End job centers are close as well. Commute times vary by street and time of day, so test your own route before you buy.
Housing stock and typical prices
Typical home values in 77028 are about $157,000 (Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026, via HomeValuePros), and the median sale price over the last 30 days was $200,000 according to Orchard.

What multifamily buyers and investors should know
- Flood history matters here. Parts of Northeast Houston sit near Hunting Bayou and Halls Bayou. Pull the FEMA flood map, the seller's disclosure and a flood insurance quote before you write an offer.
- New construction fourplexes rent at a premium but price at a premium too. Run the numbers on actual rents for comparable new units, not on area averages.
- Older duplexes and fourplexes often need roof, plumbing, electrical and foundation work. Budget for inspections by a licensed inspector and get repair bids during your option period.
- Check whether each unit has its own electric meter and water meter, and who pays which utility.
- Ask for the rent roll, current leases, deposits and any tenant issues in writing. Verify rents with bank deposits where possible.
- Houston has no citywide zoning, but deed restrictions can still limit use. Review the title commitment and any recorded restrictions.
- If you plan to live in one unit, FHA and VA financing can work on 2 to 4 unit properties with owner occupancy. See the Sunnyside spotlight for the financing details.
