“Brittney Coyle and her team are truly the best. We felt like she not only listened to our needs for our new home, but was also always willing to chat about concerns or provide expertise about the areas we were looking into. The sheer amount of knowledge & network she had about any aspect of homebuying made it seem like she had been working in the industry for decades. When it came time to make an offer, she was the best advocate we could ask for and made sure we got the house we wanted. We appreciate her looking in on us throughout the process and following up with various folks to take care of our family as we relocated. She is a credit to her company and we wouldnt go with anyone else if we needed to buy again -but we found the perfect house, so hopefully not:) !” - Brittany Cordero (Google Review)

Lazybrook Houston History


Taking its name from the White Oak Bayou, Lazybrook is one of Houston’s late bloomers. Lazybrook remained undeveloped and covered in trees between the early 1940s and the 1950s.

During the early 1940s and 1950s, Lazybrook remained largely wooded and undeveloped. The development of the top Houston freeways spurred the neighborhood’s suburban growth.

In the 1800s, German farmers firstly owned the Lazybrook and Timbergrove area. It was also the site of a top oil discovery during the 1930s. Eureka Yard (a nearby railroad yard) and St. John’s German Lutheran Church (one of the first churches built in Houston) serve as a reminder of these years. Both landmarks remain standing today.

Lazybrook underwent top residential and urban development in the 1960s and 1970s. About 20-30 years ago, many young professionals started to buy ranch-style homes in the area. Some built newer, more modern properties, while others opted to renovate them.

Real estate developers also started numerous townhome projects around Lazybrook. Heritage Creek, Timbergrove Heights, and Timbergrove Terrace are among the townhome developments.

Residents founded the Lazybrook Civic Club in 1960. One of the organization’s main objectives is to uphold all building regulations. Second, an advocate for changes. And lastly, bring about changes. These objective aims to advance the community and the welfare of its residents. The Civic Club is an active and volunteer-based group.

Today, Lazybrook is a quiet but sprawling neighborhood with nine sections. The nine sections map out the neighborhood’s deed restrictions, paving the way for a well-developed community.
