About this home
FOR SALE OR LEASE: Be certain to view the Property Brochure in Documents. This expansive acreage is a developer's dream, located just north of Candlelight Plaza, Independence Heights, and southeast of Inwood. With over 71,000 square feet (approximately 1.64 acres) of land, this property offers endless possibilities for residential development or commercial use. Easy access is provided via N. Shepherd Dr to Loop 610 and I-45 N, while Hwy 290 can be reached through Antoine Dr, W Tidwell Rd, and W Little York Rd. The property has been cleared, making way for your vision.
Acres Home, located between U.S. 290 and the Sam Houston Tollway, is a residential and semi-rural Houston neighborhood with large lots and a legacy of independent businesses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the busy stretch of W. Montgomery Road near Victory Drive, where barbershops, beauty salons, taquerias, and auto shops line the roadway in a steady daytime hum. Ranch-style houses, newer infill, and long driveways shape a streetscape that feels open and unhurried away from the main corridors. The area’s cultural backbone includes the historic DeLuxe Theater, a longtime anchor for local arts and events. Nearby greenspace and bayou edges add a nature-forward counterpoint to the commercial strips. Community life often centers on local eateries and small storefronts rather than big-box corridors.
