Ironically, Houston Heights was originally settled back in the 1800s as a place for people who wanted to live outside of the city. Today, it is very much a central part of Houston, but the area has maintained a lot of that classic Houston charm and history. The Heights was also named one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the city, and with literally hundreds of establishments including breweries, boutiques, fitness studios, and local eateries, you can easily spend a full day here meandering from one HOU original to another. With easy walking and central location, it is no wonder the area has some of the best shopping in the city. You can walk down 19th St, popping into unique thrift stores, boutiques, and specialty shops until your legs give out! There is something for everyone and every mood in The Heights, making it an ideal Houston neighborhood to live, work, and play.

Located right outside of Downtown Houston and close to 610, 45, and I-10, getting to The Heights is super easy! Most restaurants and shops offer parking lots, but the area is also accessible by bus, ride share services like Uber, and the B-Cycle Program. If you’re looking for other ways to get around The Heights, there are plenty of sidewalks that are perfect for walking or biking.
