Memorial Villages TX Neighborhood Guide
Bunker Hill, Hedwig, Hunters Creek, and Piney Point are located south of Katy Fwy (Interstate 10), while Hilshire and Spring Valley sit north of the freeway.
Around 50 years ago, the Memorial Villages area was sparsely populated with large country estates, homes, and farms. Interest in the area grew as Houston’s population boomed during the 1950s and 60s. Construction of the Katy Freeway in 1968 spurred more growth, and developers of upper-middle-class subdivisions along the Buffalo Bayou started building homes in the area.
Houston continued growing, and fearing annexation, the six villages filed for petitions of incorporation to preserve the Memorial Villages’ residential zoning and way of life. Deed restrictions, banning commercial establishments and billboards, are still in place in the area today.
Memorial Villages succeeded: The six villages maintained a serene, residential enclave. Gated communities, large estates, and upscale homes populate the area. The Villages operates its own police and fire departments along with a joint water authority.
Downtown Houston is just 10 miles east of the Memorial Villages, so residents have easy access to its entertainment, cultural, and business hubs.
The Villages is one of the most expensive real estate markets in the state. Due to this distinction, Memorial Villages is often compared to Houston’s most expensive neighborhood, River Oaks.
Memorial Villages homes sit on larger parcels of land – a key difference from River Oaks properties. Lot areas can range from 10,000 to 100,000 square feet.
