Sunnyside Heights Homes for Rent

Sunnyside Heights in Wichita Falls is a neighborhood with a mix of well-maintained and neglected homes, often featuring small, traditional workman cottages on lots ranging from 8,000 to over 9,000 square feet. The area is characterized by mature trees and overgrown shrubbery, with some homes in need of repair. Severe weather, including hail, mini tornadoes, droughts, and wildfires, is common in North Texas, making carports and garages a practical necessity.

Lucy Park and Weeks Park, both around 5 miles away, offer extensive paved trails, a golf course, and tennis courts. Local amenities include chains like Dollar General and Starbucks, with United Supermarkets less than 5 miles away. Downtown Wichita Falls features antique stores and gastropubs, while the main shopping area is less than 7 miles east. The neighborhood is well-connected via U.S. Route 287 and public transportation.

Washington Elementary and Kirby Middle School, with high school options at Wichita Falls Legacy and Memorial High Schools. Midwestern State University is just over 4 miles east, offering higher education opportunities.
