Stay close to the action but away from the noise in the Heights! Perfect for families and groups wanting to stick together, this retreat puts you near HTX top dining, music, and kid‑friendly spots. We are a husband and wife duo and purchased this home to be closer to our parents. Our goal is to make your stay hassle-free and we've purposefully set up this home to reflect what we want from a rental when we travel (no crazy checkout lists, flexible check in times, etc.) We are close by should you need anything. Otherwise, the space is yours to enjoy.
Location: Most major spots are within 15 min drive and a 15 min walk to the Metrorail with access to Downtown, Museum District, Herman Park, the Med Center and NRG stadium. This single family, single floor (no stairs or shared walls) bungalow is truly central to many major attractions with easy local road access to all dining and attractions located in the Houston Heights. Get where you need to go quicker. We are just a street light away from both I-45 and I-610 and 15 minutes walk to the Fulton Metro station which takes you directly to downtown and NRG stadium without the parking hassle.
