Founded more than a century ago, the Houston Heights Area real estate properties have experienced a renovation effort to recapture the Victorian charm that once characterized the neighborhood. Wood-frame homes with gingerbread trim complement the community's revitalized Main Street District that is home to quaint antique shops and other small stores. Houston Heights area was it's own city for 25 years and still retains its small town feel. The area known as The Heights is just north of Buffalo Bayou and east of Shepherd. There you'll find lush tree-lined streets, beautiful parks, acclaimed schools and a wonderful assortment of Victorian-era homes, Craftsman bungalows, and even new construction homes

The Houston Heights area real estate properties provide easy access to other parts of the city, nestled between two of the main freeways which connect downtown Houston with the outlying areas. Because of its proximity to downtown, the area has become an attractive neighborhood to young professionals who want a short commute or are interested in renovating an old home. From single family homes to multi family homes, from high rise condo to townhouses, all are being updated to accommodate modern lifestyles -- without destroying the original area charm. Because of the Heights' popularity, homes there are commanding top dollar -- especially those that are newly restored. Still, there are still many homes to choose from that haven't yet been restored or are in a stage of partial restoration.
