About Highlands, Texas
Highlands is an unincorporated community in Harris County with roughly 8,000 residents in the 77562 zip code, sitting on the east bank of the San Jacinto River about 20 miles east of downtown Houston. Most of the housing stock was built in the 1960s through 1980s with a median value around $190,000, and about one in five homes is a mobile or manufactured unit that no lender will finance and no agent will list.
The San Jacinto River defines every part of selling here. Harvey sent it surging through neighborhoods and completely submerged the Highlands Acid Pit — a Superfund site filled with toxic sludge from 1950s oil operations. In May 2024, the river came within three feet of Harvey levels again and triggered mandatory evacuations. Over 600 petrochemical barges now crowd the river corridor downstream, and sand mining operations upstream have been blamed for reducing the river's capacity and making each flood event worse. Disclosure requirements follow every affected property into every listing.
Because Highlands is unincorporated, there's no mayor, no city council, and no local government advocating for flood control funding or infrastructure improvements. Most of the mitigation projects identified after Harvey still haven't started construction. Homeowners are left carrying properties with flood history, aging systems, and a market where traditional buyers see the river on a map and move on. Site-built homes on slab or pier-and-beam foundations need $50,000 to $90,000 in updates to compete with newer construction in Baytown or Mont Belvieu.
Whether it's flood damage, a mobile home, an inherited property, or a house that's more burden than it's worth — we buy as-is across all of Highlands and close on your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
The river flooded us during Harvey and almost did it again in 2024 — will that scare off your offer?
No. The San Jacinto River defines flood risk in Highlands, and we buy knowing that. Harvey devastated the community, the May 2024 storms nearly matched those levels, and the Highlands Acid Pit Superfund site adds contamination history on top of the flood history. Traditional buyers see all of that and walk. We factor flood zone, prior claims, and environmental proximity into our offers upfront — no surprises after inspection, no renegotiating, no buyer backing out.
We've moved away but still own my late father's house in Highlands — can you handle everything?
Yes. Many Highlands families have owned the same property for decades, and when a parent passes, the kids often inherit a home they're not coming back for — especially one that needs work or sits in a flood zone. We buy inherited homes as-is, work with multiple heirs and probate situations, and coordinate with the title company so you're not driving back and forth to manage the sale.
Do you actually show up and walk the property, or is this all done remotely?
We evaluate every Highlands property in person before making a final offer. We'll walk the home, assess the condition, and confirm our numbers on-site. You'll know exactly who you're dealing with — a local buyer, not a faceless online form. After the walkthrough, we present our offer with a clear breakdown. No obligation, no pressure.
We have a mobile home on unrestricted land — most agents won't even return our calls. Can you buy it?
Yes. Roughly 20% of Highlands' housing stock is mobile or manufactured homes, and since most lenders won't finance them, most agents won't list them either — there's no commission to justify the work. We buy mobile homes, manufactured homes, and properties on unrestricted acreage throughout the 77562 zip code, regardless of age, condition, or whether the home sits on owned or leased land.
