Your Free Apartment Locator in Woodland Heights and Norhill

Mostly houses, duplexes, and garage apartments leased by individual owners. These are deed-restricted early-1900s neighborhoods with active civic associations and very little conventional apartment complex inventory. If a professionally managed building with a pool and gym is what you need, we will route you to the Heights or Near Northside, which have that inventory a few minutes away.

Most older bungalows and duplexes in these neighborhoods use window units or partial central air rather than full central cooling. Original single-pane windows are common and summer electricity bills on the deregulated CenterPoint grid run significantly higher than in a central-air apartment of the same size. Ask specifically about HVAC type before you tour. We confirm HVAC type, in-unit laundry, and parking situation for every address on your list before you drive out.

Often the tenant. Yard maintenance is frequently the tenant's responsibility in owner-leased bungalows and duplexes in these neighborhoods. Ask directly before you sign - the answer varies by owner and should be in writing in the lease. We confirm this for every address we send to your list.

Little White Oak Bayou runs through parts of the area and White Oak Bayou is close by. Check every address against the current FEMA map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer, and ask the owner directly about Harvey. After Harvey, 68% of Harris County structures that flooded were outside the 100-year floodplain - a clean map result does not settle the question. Renters insurance does not cover flood; NFIP contents-only coverage is available and inexpensive.

Individual owners here decide case by case and the answer varies unpredictably. A direct conversation and a larger deposit sometimes do the work, but these neighborhoods have limited inventory and the cases are unpredictable. For more consistent flexibility, Near Northside and Independence Heights have more owner-leased inventory where flexibility is more documented. A screening-report denial generally entitles you to a written notice naming the company and a free copy within 60 days. Ask for written tenant selection criteria before paying an application fee.

Bus service runs on Houston Avenue. There is no rail stop directly in either neighborhood. A car is the practical choice for most Houston commutes from here. Downtown is about ten minutes south. The Heights shopping and dining corridor is a few minutes west. We attach drive times and transit access to every option on your list.

Houston electricity is deregulated. CenterPoint owns the wires but you choose your own retail electricity provider on the state's Power to Choose site. Read the Electricity Facts Label before committing to a plan - the advertised kWh rate is rarely what you pay at apartment-sized usage, and window-unit housing runs significantly higher than central-air buildings of the same size.
