“We were "interested" but had not made a decision to move and Dane Gates was still very accessible and open about the process. His availability and willing to work with uncertain Buyers made a difference in our decision to finally move. We are happy with the new home and even after closing on the new home, Dane Gates has made himself available to us. Dane Gates has even provide input and suggestions around the Market and ways to help sell our current home. I would recommend Dane any time.”

In March 2026, the typical home value in Highlands was about $208,000, well below the county’s $318,000 level, while the median list price sat higher at $295,000. Homes are taking a long time to sell, with a median of 254 days on market and roughly 7 months of supply, reinforcing the current buyer’s market reading of 100 on the local gauge.
Only 2 homes went under contract in the latest month, with 8 new listings and 21 total homes on the market, and about 23.81% of listings saw a price drop. Sellers are typically getting very close to asking, with an average sale-to-list ratio of 0.989 and about one-third of homes selling above list price. Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values are projected to rise to around $215,500 and the median list price to about $310,000, with inventory expected to hold near 21 homes.

Learn more about what Highlands has to offer.
Highlands offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with scenic surroundings, outdoor recreation opportunities, and convenient amenities that support a high quality of life.
Highlands feels distinct from nearby Baytown and Houston with its quieter, close‑knit atmosphere and easy access to the water. Many daily routines revolve around the San Jacinto River and Burnet Bay, where residents fish, launch boats, or simply enjoy the views after work. Neighborhood streets tend to be modest and practical, with a mix of longtime locals and newer families drawn by relative affordability and room to spread out.
Outdoor time is a big part of life here. San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site and Battleship Texas are minutes away, offering both history and wide‑open green spaces. Families appreciate local schools in the Goose Creek CISD, while commuters value quick connections to Interstate 10 for work in Baytown, Channelview, or downtown Houston. Everyday conveniences, from groceries to casual dining, are close at hand, with larger shopping and medical options just a short drive away in surrounding communities like La Porte.
Because Highlands is relatively small, homes do not linger on the market when priced correctly, and inventory can feel tight in popular pockets near the water. Whether you are planning a first move into Highlands or considering selling after many years, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands this community and can guide both buyers and sellers through each step.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Top notch all the way by far the best I have ever worked with”
“We have used Keko Moore a couple of times. He takes care of everything and makes the process so easy. I highly recommend him for buying or selling either one. He is the best!”
“She supported and assisted greatly, she was amazing and did a great job and we are very happy with her service and her attentiveness!”
“Amy Patton assisted our church in the sale of our parsonage. In our initial meetings, she came across as a "Professional." We had contacted another Realtor at a very successful brokerage, but that person was, it seemed, a bit too successful, in that she set up an appointment, but failed to show, with no communication as to why, both before and after. Communication is the key, and that particular agent failed miserably. Amy Patton, throughout the entire process, never failed to communicate, responding to questions, situations, and, in general, shepherding our flock through the process flawlessly. There were a couple of hiccups that she took in stride, responded to and kept those who needed to know in the loop, As for other aspects of the sale, pricing, negotiations, clientele, etc., Amy was nearly impeccable, which was to be expected from an agent of her abilities and knowledge. It would be impossible to find a better Realtor to serve our needs.”
“Angela was exceptionally instrumental in the entire process of this new home construction. From land purchase negotiation, locating a builder for our lot, being involved with the home construction process, and with closing; Angela stayed actively involved with the build and with explaining the next steps. This build could not have happened without her!”
“Esanet Benedict was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgable, super detail oriented, and you could tell she knew what she was doing/how experienced she is. Every house we'd look at, she'd be able to tell what was wrong with it and things to look out for. She's extremely accomodating and can work with your schedule, and she really does do her best to find you exactly what you're looking for- a house that will fit all your needs. She made the daunting process of house searching and buying smooth sailing. I'm a young buyer, so she made sure I was always informed about things I wouldn't have even thought about. She worked with us so well and not to mention, she is extremely sweet and friendly and had us laughing throughout the process. I've already recommended her to my brother and a friend who are also in the house buying process.”
“Working with Veronica Warwick was a great experience from start to finish. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and she made sure I understood every step of the process while keeping everything moving forward smoothly. She was especially strong during negotiations and helped secure a great deal, including favorable terms and concessions. She also stayed on top of inspections, repairs, and closing details, which made the entire process feel organized and stress-free. I’d absolutely work with Veronica again and highly recommend her to anyone serious about buying or investing in real estate.”
“Dylan does a great job. He stays on top of every property I list with him. He makes sure no lead is forgotten about”
“Rickey and his Team were amazing! Always went the extra mile to help us sell our home. Was always available to talk me through the process. I have bought and sold several homes, and he and his Team gave me by far the best experience I have had selling a home.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Robert. He was professional and very knowledgeable, and always responsive to my questions and concerns. He really took the time to understand what I was looking for and guided us through every step for as what he was doing in every step of the process with patience and expertise. His nogotiation skills helped us get a great deal, an his attention to details made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I hightly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate professional.”

“It was a wonderful experience working with Lucy Gamez. Working with Lucy Gamez was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She is knowledgeable, patient, and consistently professional, guiding every step with clarity and confidence. Lucy listens closely, communicates promptly, and always puts her clients’ needs first. Her dedication made the entire process smooth and stress‑free. I highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional Agent/Broker. I plan to use Lucy again.”
“As a first time buyer, the process to buy a home can be very intimidating and at times overwhelming. However, Sinai and her team made the process as easy and as manageable as possible with reminders and due dates along the way so you always know what's coming up next. With Sinai's help I was able to find a place that I am so happy with. My only regret is not doing this sooner!”
“She is a super good, and hard worker, she is very professional and responsible, she helped me to find the house that I wanted. Thank you so much Stella!! I do recommend you 100%”
“To anyone looking for a realtor we recommend Daryl. His calm demeanor and experience means he is a steady force during the various moments of selling a house. Any asks we had he addressed with professionalism and efficiency. A long term Austinite, he knows all the areas well. Highly recommend.”
“Kelly is a person that has lots of energy and is a go getter! She was very flexible and was not shy in pointing out things that may be a problem or things we should really be looking for in a home. Even now after our purchase is complete, we are still in communications to talk about next steps and getting recommendations for local contractors or even restaurants (since we came from out of state). We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to move to the Houston area!”
