Guide To All Cottage Grove Homes For Sale

Cottage Grove Houston Neighborhood Guide
Cottage Grove, named for its collection of vintage cottages, was originally an independent city. Now a growing Houston neighborhood, Cottage Grove straddles the I-10 and is a stone’s throw away from Loop 610.
Easily one of Houston’s most accessible neighborhoods, Cottage Grove has Timbergrove and Lazybrook to the west and Houston Heights to the north and east. Memorial Park, Camp Logan, and Rice Military are to the south of the neighborhood, just beyond the Katy Freeway. The neighborhood is under the 77007 Harris County zip code.
Centrally located within the Inner Loop, Cottage Grove homes for sale have schools, job centers, malls, restaurants, parks, and entertainment hubs nearby. Residents can easily walk or bike to one of the country’s largest urban parks, Memorial Park.
During the 20s and 30s, Cottage Grove was a stop for the Houston and Texas Central Railway, serving the Eureka Oil Field. Hundreds of cottages were built during this period to house the thousands of workers who moved into the area.
Nowadays, some of those early cottages still stand. Others have been replaced by recently constructed townhomes as well as single-family patio homes.
The humble community is now home to gated communities and multi-family dwellings.
