Pocket walkability

Nineteenth Street and the M-K-T/Heights Mercantile area each work well on foot, with connected trails along White Oak Bayou. Between pockets, an e-bike or car saves time.

Getting there

There is no rail stop in the core Heights; plan on a 10–15 minute drive or rideshare from Downtown.
