The Houston Heights Boom

The Houston Heights is booming. The neighborhood charm, location, and amenities attract a wide range of home buyers including first-time homebuyers, families, empty nesters, and relocating buyers. There are top-rated restaurants, excellent schools and lots of outdoor areas to enjoy.

One of the biggest amenities for this neighborhood is its proximity to shopping, public transportation, and local parks. Properties in this neighborhood have shown steady appreciation (8-12%) over the past year, and the asking prices have decreased as a result. The neighborhood is also close to restaurants, shops, and office parks that are within walking distance. With its proximity to jobs, shopping, and entertainment, it’s also a desirable location for families, young professionals, vacationers.
