“We own and have transacted on multiple properties across California, Boston, and Houston over the years, and Brittney from the Houston Properties Team has been by far the #1 real estate professional we've worked with. Her attention to detail, customer service orientation, and sense of urgency were second to none. Additionally, her up-to-date pulse on the real estate market in Houston was spot on. Every piece of guidance and / or recommendation around how best to price and market our property was the right one, even when her view was contrary to those of her contemporaries from other firms. We couldn't recommend her more, we wish we could use her for all of our transactions outside of Houston!” - Stephen Cheng (Google Review)

Hilshire Village Single-Family Home Sale Trends

Hilshire Village TX History


In the 1940s, Frank Bruess and his mother purchased about 30 acres of land in what is now known as Hilshire Village. Bruess saw Houston as a burgeoning city and moved his family there from his native Missouri.

As the story goes, the name Hilshire came from an article about Hillshire, a country estate in England that Bruess chanced upon while on a business trip. Hilshire Village eventually won over two other names considered for the budding development.

Hilshire's first home was that of Bruess' mother, on the neighborhood's first street, Pine Chase.

Some years later, Houston was looking to expand toward the area beyond Wirt Road. As a response, notably because of fears over high taxes and the lack of zoning laws, concerned residents filed a petition for incorporation.

Hilshire was incorporated in 1955 with a mayor-city council type of government.

Apart from improved city services and roads, nothing much has changed in Hilshire Village. The neighborhood encapsulates traits for which the Memorial Villages are best known: tree-lined streets and wooded lots, elegant homes, and a distinct country-living atmosphere.
