In the 1940’s Highland Village was a shooting range for the Buffalo Gun Club. In February 1948 developer S.N. Adams carved Highland Village out of the A T. Morse subdivision. Many of the original homes were built by University of Texas ex Jack Perry. The homes located on Suffolk behind the railroad tracks originally were rent homes. Highland Village still has many of the original one-story homes built in 1949 and the early 1950’s.
In the last 7 years Highland Village has seen large custom homes built by Partners in Building, David Weekley Homes, Classic Homes, Domicile Custom Homebuilders and Weaver Builders. New homes are priced from $1,400,000 to $2,100,000. They vary in square footage from 5,000 to 5,600 square feet. The original homes sell from $312,000 to $620,000 depending upon size and location. The city of Houston recently spent $3,000,000 repaving all of the streets in HighlandVillage. The streets were also lowered for better drainage.
Highland Village is a premier inner loop neighborhood located south of Westheimer between the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks, Drexel, and West Main. This Houston Real Estate is surrounded by Highland Village Shopping Center with it’s boutique shops, fine dining, and world class stores. Residents can send their children to the Houston Independent School District’s best schools or nearby private schools.
It is hard to imagine a nicer place to live than Highland Village. Highland Village is very family oriented. The streets seem like a passing parade as kids on bikes and trikes, families pushing baby carriages, owners walking their dogs and joggers pass by the homes. Neighbors watch out for each other and the homeowners association is very friendly.
