History: Oscar Martin Carter and his fellow investors developed this community as a suburb for those who did not wish to live in a dense urban environment. By 1896, the development had its own municipality. The neighborhood quickly grew and again expanded after World War II as manufacturing and industrial work bloomed. This community may be one of the oldest planned neighborhoods in Houston, but it’s still often described as having a small-town feel.

Shopping: Historic 19th Street is known for its small businesses and periodic shopping events. Antiques on 19th and Retropolis are always great stops on this charming street!

Community: From 1980 – 2017, nearly 100 houses had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If you take a stroll through the area, many of these homes stand out with their varied historic charm and character. This community is considered suburban, tight-knit, and one of the best places in the city to visit to grab a bite to eat.

Culture: Walk Score® estimates that there are approximately 225 restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in the area, so there is always a great place to meet up with friends. The area is also not lacking for entertainment: if you’ve ever cruised down 19th Street, you’ve certainly spotted the Heights Theater sign! If larger gatherings are more your style, the neighborhood typically celebrates annual street parties like White Linen Night on 19th Street as a way to continue to bring the community together.
