ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS: Woodland Heights features an interesting assortment of architectural designs. Most houses within the district were constructed during the early 1900s. Queen Anne-style residences are among these homes. They have asymmetric exteriors, full-length porches, pointed roofs, and decorative trimmings. But you can also observe Craftsman and American Four Square structures contributing to the area’s allure. The Craftsman houses present various facades, usually consisting of wooden shingles and brick walls, broad balconies, and a generous amount of windows. The American Four Square homes typically have two or three stories and wide porches. This patchwork of different housing styles renders Woodland Heights distinct within Houston.

OAK TREES: Woodland Heights is known for its beautiful oak trees. William A. Wilson was one of the earliest, if not the first, residential developers in Houston to plant live oak trees in rows along Bayland Avenue and other streets of Woodland Heights. In 2021, the Curbside Tree Project helped place trees on homeowners’ properties. Some of the trees were donated. Donated trees were planted curbside on blocks that lacked shade. The others were donated to St. Mark’s Methodist Church for planting along Redan. The added trees are a welcomed addition, providing a sense of community, peace, and natural beauty to the streets of Woodland Heights. The oak trees also provide shade for homeowners during the hot summer months. The abundance of trees keeps homes cooler and reduces energy costs.

LARGE LOTS: Residents of Woodland Heights are lucky to have deed restrictions prohibiting the establishment of commercial businesses. These restrictions are just one reason that homes in this area tend to have larger lots than the average in Houston. The City of Houston Planning and Development Department also has the authority to set the minimum lot size for particular blocks and areas. These supersede any other established minimum lot size requirement. It creates more room to enjoy and appreciate these larger lots’ natural space. It also allows the preservation of the character of the neighborhood.
