About The Heights, TX

The Heights is Houston's most beloved historic neighborhood, established in 1892 as one of the country's earliest planned developments and one of Houston's first suburbs. Located north of downtown along Heights Boulevard, the district is defined by its Victorian, Queen Anne, and craftsman bungalow architecture, its mature tree canopy, and its passionate community culture. The annual "Lights in the Heights" event — held on a Saturday in December — draws thousands of visitors to walk the historic streets and see over-the-top holiday displays. The Heights Historic District has strict preservation standards administered by the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission, and Christmas lighting here trends toward warm-white and traditional colors that respect the architecture. Whether your home is a 1910 restored bungalow on Rutland or a new townhome in Cottage Grove, we design a lighting display that fits the architecture and matches the Heights' unmatched holiday culture.

FAQ's

The Heights

Do you install lights in the Historic District and Woodland Heights?
Yes. We install throughout the Houston Heights Historic District, Woodland Heights, Norhill, and every Heights-area neighborhood. Our designs are period-appropriate for historic bungalows and we understand HAHC preservation standards.
How much does Christmas light installation cost in the Heights?
Basic roofline packages start at $1,200. Most Heights homes fall in the $1,500–$3,000 range depending on square footage and detail level.

Can you design a display for Lights in the Heights?
Absolutely — this is a Heights specialty for us. We design custom displays specifically for Lights in the Heights competition, using signature tree wraps, warm-white bungalow rooflines, period-appropriate garland and wreath packages, and coordinated pathway lighting that reads well on foot.

Yes. We handle commercial storefronts, restaurant patios, and neighborhood association monument entrances throughout the Heights — including 19th Street's historic commercial corridor, Heights Boulevard, White Oak Drive, and the Washington Avenue restaurant district.

General

How early should I book my The Heights Christmas light install?
We recommend booking by October 1 for guaranteed installation before Thanksgiving — earlier if you want your display ready for Lights in the Heights. The Heights schedule fills up fast because of the density of the neighborhood and the number of homes participating in the Lights in the Heights tradition. Late bookings may push into early or mid-December.

Call or text us and we'll come out within 24–48 hours to replace it — no charge. Free in-season maintenance is included with every package.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Houston Xmas Lighting carries $1M in general liability insurance. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance to any HOA, property manager, or municipal office on request.
Do you provide multi-year HOA lighting agreements?
