The Heights, inside the Loop.
Historic bungalows and modern new construction, walkable streets, and one of Houston’s most in-demand inner-Loop addresses. CKT has active listings here now.
Historic bungalows and ground-up new builds, block by block.
The Heights sits just northwest of Downtown, inside the 610 Loop, one of Houston’s oldest neighborhoods and one of its most sought-after today. Victorian and craftsman bungalows line the historic districts; between them, teardown lots turn into modern new builds at a steady clip.
It trades on walkability. 19th Street shops, Heights Mercantile, the MKT and hike-and-bike trails, and a dense run of restaurants and bars put daily life on foot, rare for Houston. Buyers pay for that, and the inventory splits between protected historic stock and ground-up contemporary homes.
That mix defines the work here: pricing a 1920s bungalow and a 2024 new build on the same block takes two different comp sets. CKT works both. The same builder-side fluency that anchors our Katy practice applies directly to the Heights’ new-construction tier.
Two comp sets, one team.
Historic bungalow or new construction, the Heights rewards an agent who reads both markets. Cyndi spent 25 years as Coventry Homes’ Executive Broker before going independent. Contract structures and new-build pricing are her native language, and the resale playbook behind 2,000+ career transactions covers the rest.

The Heights, answered.
- Is The Heights in HISD?
- Yes. The Houston Heights (77008) is zoned to Houston ISD. Attendance boundaries and magnet options vary by block, and several campuses have application or transfer programs, so confirm zoning with the district for the specific address before relying on it.
- Does The Heights have new construction?
- Yes. Alongside its protected historic districts of Victorian and craftsman bungalows, the Heights has a steady stream of ground-up modern new builds on teardown lots. Pricing a 1920s bungalow and a 2024 new build on the same block takes two different comp sets. CKT works both, with builder-side fluency from Cyndi's 25 years at Coventry Homes.
- Is The Heights a master-planned community?
- No. The Heights is one of Houston's oldest neighborhoods, not a master-planned community. It trades on walkability: 19th Street shops, Heights Mercantile, and the MKT and hike-and-bike trails, plus a mix of protected historic stock and new construction inside the 610 Loop.
- What is the commute from The Heights to downtown?
- The Heights sits just northwest of Downtown inside the 610 Loop, so downtown is typically a 10 to 15 minute drive. The inner-Loop location is a large part of what buyers pay for here.
