Neighborhood Guide: Highland Village Houston
Highland Village Houston is a residential enclave located in the area in between Greenway Plaza/Upper Kirby, and River Oaks.
Surrounded by affluent neighborhoods, upscale shopping centers, and various dining and entertainment venues, the community is at the center of it all. Schools, parks, restaurants, grocery stores, and activity centers are within minutes of Highland Village homes.
The neighborhood’s location along Westheimer Road (and its proximity to Loop 610 and Southwest Freeway) provides great access to key Houston districts like the Galleria, the Museum District, and Downtown.
During the 1940s, S.N. Adams developed both the Highland Village Shopping Center and the neighborhood, naming both for his native Scotland.
A number of the original traditional ranch-style homes built during the period still stand. These homes have, of course, been updated and carefully maintained. Others have since been torn down to make way for larger, custom-built homes. Newer homes are typically more expensive than vintage Highland Village homes for sale.
Due to the neighborhood’s deed restrictions, Highland Village homes are mostly detached single-family homes.
Prices can start at $400,000, though the most expensive Highland Village real estate can sell for more than $2.5M.
