Non historic 5,000 SF corner lot in Woodland Heights, with a livable 2-bed, 1-bath bungalow included. Live in it, lease it, or hold it while you design your dream build. New construction on this very block is listing from $1.6M to over $1.95, and land values on Ridge keep climbing. Ask the listing agent about recent lot activity on this street selling for more. The corner setting is a builder’s advantage: orient your new home’s front door toward Ridge and the interior of the block, with driveway access off Watson, light on three sides, and no shared drive. Meanwhile, the charming existing bungalow is fully livable and rentable, cover your carry costs while plans and permits come together. Zoned to Travis Elementary; minutes to downtown, walkable to bike trails, parks, and neighborhood restaurants. Whether you’re a builder, renovator, or buy-and-hold investor, this is the rare Woodland Heights corner where the numbers already work.

About Greater
Heights
Greater Heights, located between I-10 and Loop 610, is a historic and walkable Houston neighborhood with bungalow-lined streets and a strong independent retail scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 19th Street at Yale Street, where patios, coffee counters, vintage racks, and small galleries keep the sidewalks busy. Heights Mercantile, the Heights Theater, and the Art Car Museum act as cultural pillars with a distinctly local point of view. Early-20th-century Craftsman bungalows mix with updated townhomes, giving blocks a layered architectural rhythm. White Oak Bayou Greenway and the Heights Hike-and-Bike Trail thread through the area for car-free miles. Pocket parks and corner eateries keep daily routines close to home.
