Of the 15 Houston Historic Districts, 4 of them are in the Heights
This is an update (01/24/11) of one of my first posts re Houston historic districts.
HAR.com has a cool map which shows boundaries of all 15 Houston historic districts. The links below show the areas in the Heights. All 15 historic districts can be found here though. A unique feature of this map though, is that it shows currently listed homes for sale in these districts. So if you are looking for a home in a protected (protected from monster homes and homes inappropriate for the area) historic area, this is a good place to start.
Quoting from HAR.com….”Houston currently has 15 city historic districts, plus the Old Sixth Ward Protected Historic District. These historic districts are representative of a variety of time periods and architectural styles of Houston’s past, dating back to the mid-1800s. The historic district properties listed for sale on this site include both historic and non-historic properties, all of which are subject to the City of Houston Historic Preservation Ordinance. However, only those properties classified as historic may be eligible for city property tax exemptions and discounts on permit fees. The City has also designated many individual historic landmarks, which will appear on this site only if listed for sale and located within an historic district.”
