Best Heights Neighborhood
What is the Best Heights Neighborhood? As a Heights Realtor, this is a question I’ve been asked many times in the 20+ years I’ve lived here. And now that CNN recently published that the Heights is one of the Top-10 Big City Neighborhoods in the U.S., the question comes up again. Asking the best Heights neighborhood is kind of […]
Studewood Place – 1111 Studewood
Studewood Place is Nearing Completion. January 2014 Update: I have no clue what is happening to these condos; they seem to be way behind schedule. MLS shows one unit just sold, and 3 others are available. Prices are $460K-$508K. The luxury mid-rise in the Heights is nearing completion. When I first wrote on Studewood Place it […]
Heights Day of the Dead-2012
Heights Day of the Dead I haven’t seen very much about Dias de los Muertos this year, Nov 1 and 2nd. Here are some links decribing a couple of the celebrations. The celebration is always anchored by Casa Ramirez Gallery at 241 W 19th St. in Houston Heights. Another neighborhood that has historically celebrated Day […]
Arts and Crafts Style Lodge, Old Faithful Inn
The Ultimate Arts and Crafts Style Building Before returning to more mundane real estate blog posts, let me show you the ultimate Arts and Crafts style building I saw in Yellowstone. The Old Faithful Inn was built in 1903, when the Arts and Craft movement was at it’s peak. This movement away from Victorian style […]

Another Victorian Home-Out of Town
Victorian Home in Bozeman I just spent a vacation in Bozeman, Montana, and Yellowstone. This is the perfect time of the year to do this. The Summer crowds are gone, the temperatures are cool for hiking (their Fall seems only to last for 2 weeks-my timing was perfect), the elk and antelope come down from […]
Studewood Fiesta Closing
Studewood Fiesta Closing The Fiesta store on Studewood is closing. I’m only writing about it, because it is causing a stir in the neighborhood. We don’t like change, we don’t like big, we don’t like Weingarten Realty; everyone knows they are bad (didn’t they cause turmoil with the River Oaks Theatre?), and also they are big. […]
Long Point Fault Line
Long Point Fault line I keep getting requests for a map of the Spring Branch/Long Point fault line. Houston has fault lines all over. Not the earthquake kind, just slow slippage. The one I’m most familiar with is in Spring Branch. I’ve lived there, and sold a lot of homes there so I’m familiar […]
Heights Restaurants-Great Taste of the Heights
Great Taste of the Heights-Check Heights Restaurants in one Place Who would have guessed that the Heights would have so many restaurants? Even a year ago I was telling clients that you had to go to Montrose or Washington Ave to eat. Not any more…new ones are opening all the time. I’m not going to […]
VantageScore, New Credit Scoring System
New Credit Scoring System, VantageScore A new credit scoring system has recently been implemented. Actually a second system, I don’t know if it will replace the old FICO score or not. The old FICO (Fair Isaac Corp) system had a range of 300 to 850. This system has been around forever, and good, bad, or […]
