Elena Townsite Homes For Sale

Elena Townsite is a platted area on the north side of Highlands, with tracts recorded along North Main Street and East Canal Road. Unlike a typical subdivision of matching lots, Elena Townsite is made up of numbered tracts and blocks, and some properties here cover two to three acres. That variety means you can find older homes, newer custom builds and open land within a short drive of one another.

The Elena name runs deep in local land history. A Baytown Sun history column notes that the Elena Fig and Cotton Company sold about 3,000 acres to Harry K. Johnson in the 1920s, around the time he laid out the Highlands townsite. Today the area is part of unincorporated east Harris County, close to Interstate 10, Wallisville Road and Baytown. Highlands Elementary, which traces its history to 1926, and the Stratford Branch Library are both close by.

Highlands is served mainly by Goose Creek CISD, and we confirm school assignments for each address. Because tract sizes and improvements vary so much here, we review surveys, utility service and flood zone maps for every property, the same as we do across Highlands.

Tract-style properties like these appeal to buyers who want space for a shop, animals where allowed, or a future custom home. Before you buy, we look at the survey, road frontage, water and sewer or septic service, and any restrictions recorded for the tract, so you know what you can and cannot do with the land.
