The area wherein Frostwood lies used to be mostly rural, with farms and sawmills dotting the lush expanse around the Buffalo Bayou.
A couple of things contributed to the area’s development: Houston’s housing boom and subsequent westward expansion; and the completion and improvement of roads leading to downtown.
In the years after WWII, developers started building subdivisions along the Buffalo Bayou. Most of the homes built during this period were marketed toward middle- and upper-class families.
During the same period in the 1950s and 60s, Houston was expanding its borders. The city started annexing unincorporated neighborhoods outside Loop 610, including Frostwood and the rest of the Memorial West area. The nearby Memorial Villages filed for incorporation and became independent cities.
Today, Frostwood is among the most expensive neighborhoods in Houston. Strong property values in the area can be attributed to a number of things, including the community’s deed restrictions, active homeowners association (Frostwood Community Improvement Association), and central location.
Thanks to the community’s location near the bustling commercial district along Beltway 8 and Gessner Road, residents don’t have to travel very far for dining, retail, and entertainment hubs. Memorial Drive and Interstate 10 (Katy Freeway) also offers a variety of options.
The Memorial City Mall, located some blocks north of Frostwood homes, is a newly renovated retail center. Its anchor stores include Macy’s, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Target, and Sears. The Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center sits right across Gessner from the mall.
Northwest from Frostwood, near the interchange where Beltway 8 and Interstate 10 meet, lies another retail center, the CityCentre Plaza. Designed to be a pedestrian-friendly mall, it houses a number of restaurants and stores. Just south of CityCentre, the upscale Town and Country Village features more retail and dining options.
The Lantern Lane Shopping Center is located just outside Frostwood. Other points of interest nearby include Bendwood Park, and the Terry Hershey Park Hike and Bike Trail.
