With a great location and charming atmosphere, Houston Heights offers a family-oriented lifestyle in the heart of Houston's Inner Loop. Tree-lined streets, great schools, historic landmarks, eclectic shops, restaurants and galleries create an allure that many Houston-area homebuyers can't resist. Home seekers will find real estate options that consist of single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses and available residential land as well. The architecture varies from modern homes to Craftsman bungalows and Victorians. Neighborhoods are dotted with gorgeous churches, 37 in total, dating in origin back to 1893.
The Heights is bordered by Interstates 610 and 10, making transportation into and out of the community quite manageable. Downtown Houston is conveniently only minutes away, so those taking advantage of the employment opportunities of the city can easily commute. Five neighborhood parks in the Heights provide facilities for walking, jogging, swimming and playing basketball, volleyball and soccer and there is the very popular jogging trail in the esplanade of Heights Boulevard.
Community groups are popular, particularly those that promote the preservation of Houston Heights' history and maintenance of neighborhood landmarks. Public schooling in the community is managed by the Houston Independent School District. There are 13 elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school (Reagan Senior High currently undergoing an $80 million renovation) serving the Houston Heights area. Community amenities include year-round events, such as Historic Heights First Saturday Sale, plus the Heights Library, HITS Theatre Company, Paul Carr jogging trail and a community center. The Heights is also a hot spot for boutique and antique shopping.
