About this property

Life in the Heights often comes with tradeoffs—narrow streets, limited parking, and congestion. Positioned on W 23rd Street, one of the wider streets in Shady Acres, this home offers something different: a little more ease in everyday life. The first-floor living layout creates a natural flow for entertaining, while outside, a private backyard with pergola offers space to unwind, host friends, or enjoy slow weekends at home. Close enough to enjoy Heights restaurants, patios, trails, and nightlife, yet tucked far enough from Shepherd and nearby bars to avoid much of the noise and traffic. Practical updates include a new roof (2026), HVAC replaced within the last five years, updated lighting, and the added benefit of being outside the floodplain. Minutes from M-K-T Heights, hike and bike trails, coffee shops, and Downtown Houston, this home blends convenience, outdoor space, and thoughtful updates in one of Houston’s most desirable neighborhoods.
