Houma Heights Home for Rent

Houma Heights is a predominantly residential neighborhood featuring a mix of shotgun houses and cottages with clapboard siding. While some homes have been recently updated, others await renovation. The lots are generally under a quarter acre, with a mix of driveway and street parking. The northern part of the neighborhood has paved sidewalks, but there is no pedestrian bridge connecting it to downtown Houma. The Houma Heights Cultural District Park, located beneath the overpass on East Main Street, includes a walking trail along Bayou Terrebonne and hosts the Louisiana Blackberry Festival. Future plans for the park include a dog park and amphitheater. Across the bayou, the Downtown Marina offers a playground and docks for recreational boating. Local features include bars like Intracoastal Club and Larussa’s Lounge, the Taqueria Michoacana, and Rouses Market for grocery needs. The Louisiana Blackberry Festival in May is a notable event, featuring live music, kids' activities, and blackberry-themed food and drinks. Houma Heights is about 1 mile from Terrebonne General Health System and downtown Houma, with access to Louisiana Highway 182 and U.S. Route 90 for a 45-mile drive to New Orleans. The neighborhood is served by Acadian Elementary School, Oaklawn Middle School, and Ellender Memorial High School, all of which have high ratings. Public transportation does not serve Houma Heights directly, but the Good Earth Transit system operates in nearby downtown Houma.
