The established, north Greeley community of Houston Heights is located between the restaurants and shops of 10th Street and the lush greenery of Houston Gardens. Located about 2 miles from downtown Greeley, the neighborhood is close to serene natural areas and active shopping districts.
Most of the homes in Houston Heights were built between the 1930s and 1960s and sit close together on 6,000-square-foot lots. Brick bungalows and ranch-style homes line the streets, with tall evergreen, aspen and oak trees dotting front yards. Many back yards are bordered by privacy fences and residents have short gravel driveways or utilize street parking. Prices range from $290,000 to $410,000.
The Houston Gardens lie just north of the neighborhood, with winding paths that weave between flower gardens, mature trees and peaceful ponds. The trails are bordered by benches and wood carvings of woodland critters. The grounds are also home to a community garden, where locals can rent seasonal plots to grow produce. Nearby, Broadview Park is home to a playground and a baseball diamond. Bittersweet Park is around a mile southwest of the neighborhood and has a pond where anglers can fish for rainbow trout and largemouth bass, along with a playground, open field space and the Weld County Veterans Memorial. The winding Poudre River lies north of Houston Heights, and the paved Poudre River Trail runs alongside it for over 20 miles through open fields, wooded groves and farmland.
Just south of the neighborhood, 10th Street is lined with dozens of restaurants. Residents can grab their daily cup of joe from The Human Bean and brunch at The Paragon Family Restaurant. Greeley is home to an abundance of authentic Mexican restaurants due to its large, Latin-American population, with a handful of options within a half mile of Houston Heights, including Taquería Los Gallos, El Pueblito and El Mero Mero. Shoppers can take the short drive west to the nearby Safeway or Food King for groceries. Ninth Street leads around 2 miles east to downtown Greeley, which has a wide range of local businesses from family owned eateries to shops displaying the work of local artists, like Makers Mercantile & Studio. “We feature over 50 different artists here,” says Sally Otto, the store’s owner and a longtime Greeley resident. “It can be hard for crafters to get their work out to the public eye, and we help them with that, whether it be paintings, photography or pottery.” Makers Mercantile also hosts programs in its studio, from watercolor classes to seasonal decor workshops.
Ninth Street is also one of the city’s most active event hubs. “In the summer, we have Friday Fest each week,” says Otto. “Folks gather downtown where they close off the street to cars and people, listen to live music while enjoying food and beer from the eateries on Ninth.” People bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets to the event, which is held each Friday evening from late May to mid-September.
Madison Elementary School earns a C-plus grade from Niche and is within a half-mile walk of homes in Houston Heights. Franklin Middle School receives a C and has a wide variety of extracurriculars, ranging from Special Olympics and board game club to orchestra and theater. The C-plus-rated Northridge High School partners with Aims Community College for its concurrent enrollment courses. Greeley is home to the University of Northern Colorado, which has around 9,000 students and is a nationally recognized Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
Numerous Greeley Evans Transit bus stops along 10th Street run throughout the city, and the Poudre Express line goes to Windsor and Fort Collins.
