Best part of the Heights to live a walkable life?

Hey folks,

We're looking to buy a house somewhere in the Heights area in the next year. Not really in a rush (probably a good thing) but we want to start really learning about the area. I work from home, which means I don't have to drive/commute to work, so the vision/dream I'm wanting to achieve is getting as close to a fully walkable lifestyle in Houston as is possible. The Heights feels like it might be the best part of Houston to try to achieve this but it's not a small area so I'm wondering for those who know the Heights well what part might suit us the best.

Also, we don't have kids and aren't planning so school quality/proximity isn't important to us. We mainly want to be able to walk to lots of restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, doctor, barber/salon, etc. The less I have to drive a vehicle the better (lol).

We're fine with a townhome and don't need a SFH. We're actually in a large SFH further out right now and are looking to downsize + get a much more walkable life.

Thank you!
