Neighborhood Guide: Hilshire Village TX
One of the two Memorial Villages sitting north of the interstate, Hilshire Village is an affluent residential enclave.
It is roughly bordered by Katy Freeway to the south, Wirt Road to the east, and Westheimer Drive to the north. Hilshire Village follows the contours of Spring Branch, a minor bayou that feeds into the Buffalo Bayou.
Hilshire is adjacent to Spring Valley to the west and Spring Branch to the north and west. Hunters Creek is just beyond the freeway to the south of the neighborhood.
One man was responsible for the neighborhood’s name, and the neighborhood itself. In the 1940s, Missouri native Frank Bruess saw Houston’s potential and bought a 30-acre property some distance away from Loop 610. Bruess called his development Hilshire Village, after reading about a country estate in England named Hillshire.
In 1955, the neighborhood was incorporated with a mayor-council council type of government.
Today, very little has changed in Hilshire. City services and roads have been improved over the years, but the neighborhood’s overall charm and look has stayed the same.
Like most of the Memorial Villages, Hilshire Village has a zoning ordinance that helps in preserving its charm and peaceful atmosphere. The neighborhood also features other traits typical of the Memorial Villages, including large wooded lots, elegant homes, and the trend of replacing old bungalows with custom-built homes.
Hilshire homes vary in architectural styles, though traditional and ranch-style are two of the most predominant in the area. Lot sizes range from 10,000 to more than 35,000 square feet.
Older Hilshire homes for sale tend to sell for cheaper, with some selling as is or as lots. These, however, can still sell for over $600,000 depending on size. Newer custom-built homes, on the other hand, can start at over $1,000,000.
