Living in The Heights Houston Texas [VLOG TOUR OF BEST AREA TO LIVE IN HOUSTON TEXAS] 

Love The Heights. Feels like a small town in the middle of the big city.

that entire area is incredible. so many people miss out when they see the prices of the outer city suburbs and start only caring about sq ft

This is exactly what we're looking for. Great video!

Houston Heights is like level 1 version of Austin,TX. Tired of travelling to Austin,TX 6th Street; don't worry. Houston Heights has most of independent shops ready for you to browse, shop, highly convenient near Downtown Houston. Obviously, you'll have to deal with high property taxes & interests. The other area that'll likely be gentrified is Greater Fifth Ward. 5th Ward will go up and will be a keyspot for the upcoming East River Houston ( aka another CityCentre market place ). Greater Fifth Ward, while not like Houston Heights along other desirable places to stay, will be sought after by investors. All in all, all stuff you say is true. Good vid

Why laugh at the smaller 3b/2ba houses? Some of us want those. Not everyone wants that mega mansion.

Nice work my man! I border the Heights now and am moving to Lower Heights at the end of this month! Literally within walking Distance is a Target, Total Wine, Ulta, Hospital, Gas station, Pizzaria, Petsmart, Gourmet Burger spot, Panda Express, Chillis, Cookie shop, ice cream shop, the list goes on and all of its in one parking lot. Across from it is the new outdoor moving theatre. Next to that is Arts District w/ tons of murals. I thought you were going to show that. You could totally do a part 2 of this! Great work tho! Snooze is the BOMB.COM! Man trust me when I tell you we been going there for years now and tried a lot of stuff but probably the most underrated item on their menu is the breakfast tacos. I.AM.NOT.KIDDING. These tacos are loaded w/ so much flavor it’s like a slap to the face on your first bite. Please give it a try next time you go there.

The Sheps! Lol, that is what we call Sheppard Dr. Love living in this area. Gonna miss it when I move more east next weekend. But hey! No more renting for me. I'll be in my own home and it's paid for!

Just subbed, liked and hit the notification bell👍

At 10:20 if you pause the video you will see the sign that says "welcome to MKT". MKT was the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad and they used have a rail line that ran from Katy to Houston along I-10. The small train yard that you see while going over TC Jester was their hub back in the day. Today, Union Pacific works local steel and cement industries out of it. The line wouldve continued east into downtown along what is the current MKT hike and bike trail east of White Oak Bayou. Where you are standing is the exact spot where the rail line used to be located up until the late 1990s when COH bought the line to convert to a bike trail, westbound out of the yard was bought by TXDOT for you guessed it, the worlds widest freeway!!! Crazy that just a couple decades back this was a rail line and the area was not all that great. Time sure has changed it around though! My aunt used to own a breakfast taco shop/mexican bakery on the corner of Washington avenue and Leverkuhn street, small brown brick building. Still visible on Google earth view but once on street view its replaced by a modern building. Trains back then (til the mid 2000s) used to blow their horns at all crossings, so no one who lives next to the tracks today should complain lol good times when I was a kid.

The Heights also have community events like Lights in the Heights, best place to go trick or treating, also the best place to see 4th of July fireworks from downtown its awesome

Jackson, great videos my friend. I've been shooting similar style content with my friend Greg Corbett here in Phoenix, AZ. -he's mentioned how good your content is. Good stuff!

Been living in the heights since 1990. I love it, and I would never move out of my beautiful bungalow house. The demand to live here is so high but it’s worth it.

I'm not sure why so many people, even Houstonians, haven't explored the Heights even though they've been to West University, Montrose, Uptown, etc.. The Heights is probably my favorite area due to the wide mix of architecture and more of a small town atmosphere (although it covers a huge area). Some of it reminds me a lot of New Orleans, other parts just very unique. I'd love to live there although I believe it's rather expensive. It hasn't always been, though. Wish I had bought a place in the Heights 20 or 30 years ago.

Love it 😊

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THIS LITTLE TOUR AROUND THE AREA THAT I GREW UP IN. I LIVED JUST OFF SHEPARD DR. AND WENT TO CHURCH AT 15TH AN COURTLAND AND ATTENDED HAMILTON JR. HIGH. WHAT A TREAT THIS WAS.

The Heights sparked my interest as I want to live in the city but still a good area for my children to thrive. I was told the Heights is that place so we shall see.

You keep saying incredible school districts in a lot of your videos … there’s only one in the heights. HISD!

Brother, my wife and I are moving to Houston from the PacNW and God help us all if it has a “Portlandia” feel. Portland is a sweaty armpit!

Spent a while there with friends, it is SUPER busy and that's even during pandemic times. Some very nice areas, some sketch areas but overall clean. Still, its jam packed and you end up unable to move in grocery stores, hard to get into restaurants unless you time it. Pros and cons but its jammed.

Are there any rental homes in this area? 3 bedroom 2 bath and how much are rental homes in this area?

I love the Height's however Montrose is a better area for nightlife and quality of living and don't forget the Westheimer strip

all those river scenes would be filled with blue homeless tents in most west coast cities. Our rivers are not even safe for dogs to swim in without a bath afterwards.

Where is that rainbow murals that said Houston? Haven't seen that around the Heights. Been living here for 2 years now....

Dean Corll still haunts that area

Epi-SCO-pul?? 🤭 Say ee-PIS-ca-pul 😉

love the the heights but your neighbor is basically living right next to your shoulder, thats one thing thats a big no no for me
