Indian Trail Houston History
Like most neighborhoods in the Tanglewood and Memorial areas, Indian Trail used to be well outside Houston’s borders. The city’s housing boom during the 1950s and 1960s spurred development in the area, with developers opting to build along the banks of the Buffalo Bayou.
Upscale subdivisions and luxury communities thrived in the area, growing with the completion of Interstate 10 and Memorial Drive.
Indian Trail and nearby Indian Circle were among the communities that came at the heels of the housing boom. Today, the gated community is highly coveted for its security and exclusivity.
Former president George H. W. Bush used to own a house in Indian Trail.
Indian Trail residents are minutes away from one of Houston’s hottest retail, dining, and entertainment districts, the Galleria/Uptown Park area (about 2 miles away).
Home to more than 5,000,000 square feet of leasable retail space, the area is home to several retail hotspots, including the Galleria (one of the largest malls in the state) and Uptown Park (a European-style shopping center).
The Galleria is anchored by Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Several restaurants, cafes, lounges, bars, and specialty shops are scattered around the area.
Memorial Park, another Houston landmark, is also a few minutes away from Indian Trail homes. The park covers over 1,400 acres and features a top-rated municipal golf course, several trails of various difficulties and surfaces, sports facilities, and an arboretum and nature center. The Seymour Lieberman Exer-Trail is a popular destination in the park.
Opened in the mid-1930s, Memorial Park Golf Course is one of the state’s top municipal golf courses. The 18-hole course has a 73 course rating and a 122 slope rating.
