Founded in 1891, it was Houston's first master-planned community where play, work and life coexisted, it still fulfills this legacy. The city is within Houston's inner loop, making commuting to the Galleria, Museum District, and Memorial Park easy to do on a whim. It's also conveniently connected to shopping centers and parks through miles of hiking and biking trails. Greater Heights' history shines through its vintage Queen Anne and Folk Victorian homes. The city was named for its higher elevation north of downtown — which once made it a refuge from mosquitos that carried yellow fever. Today, residents appreciate that this makes it less likely to flood than other areas of Houston. Appreciation rates have nearly doubled over the past 10 years and new construction is cropping up everywhere in Greater Heights. "It's shifting from having small-town energy to being more urban and developed," says Realtor Katharine "Kat" Nichols, who co-founded the Lemon Grove Realty Group and lives in The Heights. Since Houston lacks zoning laws, new properties are blended into the mix. "A lot of apartment complexes are popping up next to older bungalows," she shares. " A lot of people who have lived there for a long time don’t love what’s happening." There are a few streets in Greater Heights that are protected, including Heights Boulevard, which is lined with Victorians listed on the Historical Registrar. A modest bungalow built in the '30s may begin in the $400,000s but homes mostly range from $500,000 to $800,000. A contemporary new construction will cost well over $1 million.
