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
What if I owe more on my mortgage than the house is worth?
That's more common than people think. Give us a call and we'll look at the numbers together. In some cases we can still help — and if we can't, we'll tell you upfront so you're not wasting your time.
Do you buy mobile homes and manufactured homes in Highlands?
Yes — about one in five homes here is manufactured and we buy them regularly. Traditional lenders usually won't finance them, which is exactly why a cash buyer is often the only realistic path to a sale.
How fast can you actually get me a cash offer?
Most sellers get an offer within 24–48 hours of reaching out. We just need a few details about the property — no formal application, no credit check, no obligation. If the number works, we move to closing on your schedule.
What if I'm behind on property taxes?
We buy homes with tax debt all the time. Back taxes get settled at closing through the title company — you don't need to catch up before we can make an offer. It's one less thing you have to figure out on your own.
