“I wish we could give 10 Stars! We have had the pleasure of working with many Realtors in the 4 states we have lived in the last 10 years. The Houston Properties Team (HPT) is by far the “cream of the crop”. We vetted numerous agents before selecting HPT. We were completely wowed by their presentation, knowledge of the market and professionalism. We do not impress easily and I can assure you, they exceeded every expectation. They prepared us for potential obstacles and successes, they provided great recommendations for contractors we needed, and they communicated well throughout the process. Their entire process is detailed, thoughtful, responsive, intuitive and designed for success. They were even sensitive to and supportive of keeping our pets needs in mind during showings and inspections. All I can say is if you choose Courtney and her team, you will not be disappointed!” - Robyn Wv (Google Review)

Shady Acres TX History


Shady Acres began as a heavily wooded area just like Lazybrook and Timbergrove Manor. Sought after the soaring shade trees that canopy the land, the neighborhood was called Shady Acres.

The development of the area began sometime in the 1920s. When Shadyacres Investment Company bought 100 acres from the Henry Reinermann Original Grant. The land of Shady Acres was split up into once-acre lots. During that time, the area was broadcasted as a close-in area with oversized lots.

In the neighboring area, the oil was discovered in the 1930s. Workers of Eureka Oil Field started moving into different surrounding neighborhoods, and a rail station has built.

The Shady Acres Civic Club was founded in 1935. The SACC was pursuing the petition for city postal services and bus service. They made deals with the close oil drillers on behalf of the entire community.

Shady Acres is an exceptional neighborhood today, promoting a combination of old and new homes.
