Houston Heights Spring Home Tour 2017

The Heights has several home tours each year. Houston Heights, Woodland heights and Norhill all have home tours. Each neighborhood has a different feel and predominant house style, and thus home tours are different in each area. (No two old Heights homes are the same anyway.)

The Spring Houston Heights Home Tour is Saturday and Sunday, April 8th and 9th. There are six homes available to tour; both old and new. The oldest is a ca 1900 Victorian.

Tickets are available online from  http://stores.houstonheightsstore.org/events    Prices are $20 in advance, or $25 on day of event. They may also be purchsed in several shops in the Heights. Just look for the signs outside stores as you drive around.

On the day of the event, tickets will be sold at the Heights Fire Station on Yale St at 12th St. More dtails here, as well as a list of homes on the tour: www.HoustonHeights.org

If you are not familiar with the "Heights", check out my Heights area website. A couple of the most popular parts of the Heights are:

Houston Heights, the oldest Heights neighborhood, some homes going back to pre-1900's thus lots of Victorian homes. It has several historic districts.

Woodland Heights, started ca 1909, thus mostly Craftsman style homes. A deed restricted neighborhood, thus the most uniform neighborhood of the Heights.

Sunset Heights is very popular now, booming in new construction. I call it the area with the split personality. It has two types of homes. Small bungalows on twin lots and tall-skinny homes on narrow single lots. There aren't as many remodels here because builders are buying the little homes to put up two new ones.
