Houston Heights' Historic Districts: A Closer Look
Because of its status as one of Houston's very first master-planned communities, Houston Heights is rich in history. Many of today's homeowners work hard to keep the neighborhood's "old charm" and "traditional" theme. This paved the way for a wide array of homes, ranging from renovated Victorian-themed houses to newly built single-family homes and townhomes.
To protect The Heights's history, homeowners have enforced deed restrictions. This helped in preserving the neighborhood's character and charm. Known locally as Houston Heights' historic districts, these areas have residential construction limits to save its history and its common “look and feel”. These Houston Heights historic districts are:
- Houston Heights Historic District West
- Houston Heights Historic District East
- Houston Heights Historic District South
As you can see on the maps below, they are clustered around Heights Blvd, north of I-10 and below 20th.
