• BUILD ON YOUR LOT The Heights


 

THE HEIGHTS

The Heights, a historic neighborhood home to a diverse cast of residents, characteristic venues, and a distinct atmosphere. The Heights is one of the first planned communities of Texas, and so the neighborhood is picturesque and easy to navigate. The atmosphere is generally described as progressive and urban, and The Heights tends to attract architecture fans, artistic personalities, and anyone looking to enjoy a great bite to eat at local restaurants. Retro-seekers head to the antique and record shops of West 19th Street, also home of the classic Heights Theater and the monthly First Saturday Arts Market. The Heights hike-and-bike trail follows a leafy path all the way to Downtown Houston.
