About The Heights at Post Oak

Located in southwest Houston at 12500 Dunlap Street, The Heights at Post Oak is a thoughtfully designed community that operates under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. This initiative offers affordable housing options for qualifying individuals and families, allowing residents to enjoy quality living at rental rates that are generally lower than comparable market-rate apartments. The community serves those whose annual household income falls below designated limits, with eligibility verified through a careful screening process. Unlike other rental assistance programs, LIHTC units do not provide direct rental subsidies, but they do offer significant savings thanks to reduced rent rates based on area median income levels. For those with housing vouchers, the community welcomes participation from all local housing authorities.

In addition to its affordability, The Heights at Post Oak offers comfortable living in a pet-friendly environment, welcoming cats and dogs up to 50 pounds with a one-pet-per-household limit. A $300 pet deposit and a monthly pet rent of $25 apply. Residents can rest assured knowing their eligibility is reviewed annually, and while rent may adjust based on updated HUD income and rent thresholds, it remains an accessible option for many families. Income calculations take into account all sources, including wages, benefits, and assets. With updated interiors and features typically found in higher-end housing, The Heights at Post Oak presents an excellent opportunity for income-qualified renters to find stability, community, and comfort—all without the high price tag.

My Personal Touring Experience

Discover Affordable Comfort at The Heights at Post Oak

Looking for a thoughtfully designed apartment community in southwest Houston that combines affordability, quality, and convenience? Rise Apartments recently toured The Heights at Post Oak, located at 12500 Dunlap Street, and it’s safe to say this property is a standout for income-qualified renters. Nestled in a quiet residential pocket yet still close to city conveniences, this community is part of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, offering well-maintained apartment homes with rental rates that can be significantly more budget-friendly than traditional market-rate options.

The LIHTC program allows qualifying households to live in quality housing while paying rent based on a percentage of the area median income (AMI). This means that if a renter meets certain income requirements, they could enjoy lower monthly rent while still benefiting from many of the modern comforts typically associated with pricier communities. The Heights at Post Oak doesn’t just offer affordability—it also brings style, functionality, and community living under one roof.

Income Guidelines and Qualification Made Simple

For those considering this community, income limits play a key role in determining eligibility. Renters must earn at least 2.5 times the monthly rent but stay under the maximum annual income limit, which varies by household size. Here are the current thresholds:

  • 1 Occupant: $39,180
  • 2 Occupants: $44,760
  • 3 Occupants: $50,340
  • 4 Occupants: $55,920
  • 5 Occupants: $60,420
  • 6 Occupants: $64,920

These guidelines ensure that The Heights at Post Oak remains a dedicated affordable housing option in Houston. The property accepts housing vouchers from all local housing authorities, further increasing its accessibility to qualified renters.

What Sets LIHTC Apart from Other Rental Assistance Programs

A key distinction of the LIHTC program is that it doesn’t directly subsidize rent like Section 8. Instead, property owners receive tax credits in exchange for maintaining below-market rental rates. This helps maintain affordability while giving residents a sense of pride and independence. Residents benefit from lower rents based on HUD-regulated income limits, and eligibility is verified annually by the leasing staff—not an outside agency.

Even better, after the initial move-in, households may exceed the income limits without immediate risk of losing their housing. However, full-time student restrictions do apply unless residents meet specific exemptions such as having been in foster care, receiving TANF assistance, or being single parents with dependent children.

Comfort, Convenience, and Pet-Friendly Living

Affordability isn’t the only thing The Heights at Post Oak has going for it. The apartments feature modern layouts and finishes, with updated touches that rival conventional communities. Residents enjoy stylish, clean interiors designed to make daily life more enjoyable. Whether it’s natural light streaming in from wide windows or spacious kitchens ready for meal prep, the floor plans here are more than just functional—they’re truly livable.

For pet owners, there’s good news: The community welcomes one cat or dog per household. There’s a 50-pound weight limit, a $300 pet deposit, and a monthly pet rent of $25, making it possible to enjoy apartment living without leaving your furry friend behind.

Understanding Rent and Income Verification

Rent amounts at this property aren’t determined like they are at market-rate apartments. Instead of being adjusted only at lease renewal, rent may change annually in accordance with HUD’s updated income and rent limits. These changes may not always align with lease terms, so residents are encouraged to stay informed throughout their tenancy.

Qualifying income includes a wide range of sources, not just wages. These include:

  • Social Security or disability payments
  • Child support or alimony
  • Unemployment benefits
  • Income from assets or investments
  • Bonuses, commissions, and tips
  • Monetary gifts from outside sources

Proper documentation of all income sources is required at move-in and at each re-certification, which is typically conducted on an annual basis.

Why Renters Choose The Heights at Post Oak

During the tour, Rise Apartments noticed that this community had more than just affordability—it had heart. With well-maintained grounds, friendly staff, and updated finishes, residents can feel confident they’re not sacrificing quality for cost. The Heights at Post Oak is particularly attractive to families, retirees, and single professionals who are income-conscious but don’t want to compromise on having a clean, comfortable place to call home.

Its location offers convenient access to major roads, public transportation options, and essential services like grocery stores, schools, and healthcare facilities. Residents also benefit from a sense of community—an often overlooked but incredibly valuable aspect of apartment living.

Whether it’s the structured rent program, the spacious apartments, or the welcoming pet policy, this property delivers on multiple fronts. It’s an ideal option for renters who qualify for LIHTC housing but still want the features and finishes of a professionally managed apartment community.
