Woodland Heights

If you're looking for a charming historic area of Houston in which to live, Woodland Heights is the place to be. Platted in 1907, this area is one of the closest residential communities to downtown Houston.

The homes in Woodland Heights are generally bungalows or arts and crafts style homes. One can still find several of the Craftsman homes that were so popular last century. Many of them have been renovated to include modern features while keeping with the original feel and layout of the home when it was originally built.

This community is bound as follows: 11th street to the North, I-45 to the East, Studewood to the West and I-10 to the South.

Single family homes and lots in this area start well above $200k.

Woodland Heights also has a lot of personality. Every year, one Saturday in the month of December, the community hosts an event called Lights in the Heights. Residents during this time of year totally redefine "bling". And each year, it becomes more interesting. For just one evening, large sections of the community are corded off so that pedestrians can walk up and down the streets to enjoy the creatively decorated homes while sipping Wassel and listening to various performers play Christmas music.

Some even say the community has a quirky side to it. We would have to agree. Always in good taste, residents of this community find fun and creative ways to express themselves.
