Whittier Heights is a vibrant upscale neighborhood located in northwest Colleyville Texas. Founded in 2004, the neighborhood is comprised of 107 homes with plenty of open space, walking trails, a few ponds, and even a community barn.
Whittier Heights is named for the 19th Century New England poet John Greenleaf Whittier, known for his love of nature and humankind. Whittier Heights boasts majestic topography, stunning views of natural beauty and neighborhood-defining architectural landmarks. Two of these include our 36 foot tall Whittier Heights spire, located along Providence Road and the most recognized Whittier Heights landmark; a circa 1760 restored New World Dutch Barn located adjacent to one of our tranquil stocked ponds. In fact, a bit of trivia, the Barn is reported to be the oldest structure now located in Tarrant County.
Our outdoor activity-friendly neighborhood is adjacent to Colleyville's 27 acres McPherson Park. This premier park features a playground, picnic and restroom facilities, wind sculptures, basketball and sand volleyball courts, open field play areas, a hike and bike trail, and renovated Rock house. In addition, seasonally, the park's Splashpad, an eco-friendly, touch-button splash area for children is available. The park occupies land that formerly housed one of the major dairy farms in Colleyville and showcases the history in its park amenities. A renovated dairy barn features photos and replicas of actual milking operation.
