What it’s like to live in Greater Heights

Victorian charm meets urban convenience in The Heights, where historic bungalows and distinctive commercial buildings create one of Houston's most walkable environments. The neighborhood's acclaimed restaurants, independent shops, and weekend farmers market create genuine community experiences beyond typical Houston strip-mall aesthetics. Though rental rates have climbed alongside the area's popularity, the combination of architectural character, walkable amenities, and central positioning typically justifies the premium for those seeking authentic urban experiences beyond purely car-dependent environments.
