West Oaks Real Estate

West Oaks is one of Houston's most affluent communities, located just east of the Memorial Villages, between State Highway 90 and State Highway 59 adjacent to Loop 610 just west of downtown Houston. Situated near Houston's renowned Galleria District, the West Oaks community includes older 1960s homes as well as larger more modern homes as redevelopment of residences in the Memorial Area, and West Oaks, continues at a rapid pace. New high-end single-family homes, patio homes and town home properties are abundant.

Housing prices in the area range from comfortable mass-produced homes in the low $200s to million dollar estates. The median home price in the general Memorial area is in the mid $300s. Dilapidated homes ripe for refurbishing can still be found at good prices. Above-average income homebuyers are attracted to this picturesque heavily wooded area and to the highly rated Spring Branch and Katy ISD schools that serve its residents. Business and retail development is confined to Interstate-10 on the northern portion of Memorial Drive.

Additionally, West Oaks residents live adjacent to one of the largest urban parks in the United States. Memorial Park is one of Houston's primary environmental and historical assets. A mammoth 1,500 acre wooded park inside West Loop 610, the park features facilities for tennis, softball, swimming, track, croquet, volleyball, skating, cycling and a three-mile running course. A popular destination for Houston joggers -- the Seymour Lieberman Exercise Trail is a three-mile crushed granite pathway that sees almost 3 million visits annually.

On the south side of Memorial Drive, there are miles of multi-use trails through the woods, a 'picnic' loop used heavily by road cyclists, softball fields, sand volleyball courts and a field for playing rugby or soccer. The park is also home to Texas' top rated municipal 18-hole golf course, which opened in 1936, and recently underwent a $7 million renovation.
