Highland Park Homes For Sale

Highland Park is an established subdivision in Highlands, the unincorporated community in east Harris County north of Interstate 10. HAR records show a little over 200 single-family homes here, with a median build year around 1960. The median lot is about 8,750 square feet and homes average about three bedrooms, the kind of traditional neighborhood where mature trees and long-time neighbors are the norm.

Homes in Highland Park are in Goose Creek CISD, which serves most of Highlands. Highlands Elementary, Bonnie P. Hopper Elementary, Highlands Junior High and Goose Creek Memorial High School serve the community, and we confirm the campus for each address. Highlands Park, the Harris County park on Highland Woods Drive, offers a spray park, walking trail, tennis and basketball, and the Stratford Branch Library is nearby as well.

Highlands takes its name from the higher ground on the east bank of the San Jacinto River. It grew around the railroad in the early 1900s and became a busy small town after World War II, which is why so many of its neighborhoods, Highland Park included, have that classic mid-century look. The Stratford Branch Library, opened in 1966 on land donated by Anna Stratford, is still a neighborhood fixture.

Homes of this era often have updated kitchens and baths sitting next to original details, and we help buyers sort out which homes have had the big-ticket items addressed. Our goal is to help you compare apples to apples, not just finishes.

Mid-century homes reward a careful look at updates, roof age and foundation history, and we walk buyers through all of it. Highlands sits on the high east bank of the San Jacinto River, and we review flood zone information and seller disclosures for every home we show here. Selling in Highland Park?
