Home values
How the City has assessed property in The Museum District, 2022–2026.
Of The Museum District's $469M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 10% ($48M) is new construction: new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →
