Settegast is seeing great change as part of the Houston HOPE Program
Settegast is a neighborhood undergoing a substantial change in identity. Annexed to Houston in 1949, Settegast was once primarily filled with small, wooden houses for those seeking proximity to downtown Houston just 8 miles southwest. Thanks partially to the Houston HOPE Program — an initiative aimed at revitalizing historic neighborhoods — more Houstonians have settled in Settegast with newer properties taking root alongside the neighborhood's long-established homes that have populated it since the early 20th century. With the arrival of new residents, Settegast is offering new opportunities for those in search of affordable housing on Houston's northside. "Being a Houston HOPE Neighborhood really revitalized Settegast and improved the overall quality of life," says local Realtor Cynthia Vela of Vive Realty, LLC, who has sold over two dozen homes around Houston. "Residents are looking forward to the continued growth the area is experiencing."
Architectural styles in Settegast vary, offering choices to suit different preferences.

Newer homes are sprouting up alongside established residences across Settegast
Settegast features a wide range of housing options. The neighborhood primarily contains smaller, older ranch-style dwellings and bungalows, though newly constructed modern townhouses and Craftsman-style duplexes have gradually been sprouting up across the community. "So much new housing is coming to this community because the area has huge lots at very affordable prices, so that makes building new homes even more affordable," Vela says. "Even with the new developments, there's no HOA here, so residents are able to have their homes however they'd like." Many homes price between $150,000 and $300,000, though some larger, newer properties can top out closer to $500,000.
