Is flooding a factor near Brays Bayou in 77004?

Brays Bayou runs along the southern edge near MacGregor Park and Riverside Terrace, and some nearby blocks fall within mapped floodplains. Project Brays, a federal and county flood-control effort, widened the bayou and rebuilt bridges, but buyers should still check the address in the Harris County Flood Control District's Flood Education Mapping Tool and review the seller's flood disclosure.
