Two hundred sixty-seven beds makes Clearwater at the Heights one of the larger senior living communities in Houston, and scale shows up in the details here. It’s a high-rise at 1245 W 18th Street in the Northside neighborhood, opened in March 2022, so about four years old now, run by administrator Veronica Weathers on behalf of Cre-Hcw The Heights Trs LLC.
Walkability is genuinely strong; a Walk Score of 74 puts this in “very walkable” range, meaning shops, restaurants, and cultural spots are realistically reachable without a car. Apartments run from compact studios up to two-bedrooms, spanning 369 to nearly 1,500 square feet, so there’s real range in how residents can live day to day.
Care spans three types under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care, with 21 dedicated Alzheimer’s units and formal Alzheimer’s certification behind the memory-care piece specifically. Twenty-four-hour staffing covers the whole community regardless of which care level a resident falls under.
A saltwater heated pool, fitness center, spa services, and chef-prepared dining through the Savor Culinary team anchor daily life, while wellness programs and a steady calendar of social events and outings fill in the rest; pets are welcome. Short-term stays and therapy services are both available too, for residents who need something more flexible than a permanent move.
What Clearwater at the Heights adds up to is a large, amenity-rich community built to handle a genuinely wide range of care needs, from independent living through specialized memory care, in one of Houston’s more walkable neighborhoods.
