“Priscilla Darnell was incredible to work with. She handled the sale of my late parents’ home with real sensitivity and care. Throughout the process, she was thoughtful, responsive, and professional. In the end, she negotiated a higher contract than we expected. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend her.” - joe marche (Google Review)

Frostwood TX History

The area where Frostwood lies was primarily rural, with farms and sawmills dotting the lush expanse around the Buffalo Bayou.

A couple of things contributed to the area’s development, not just the completion and improvement of roads leading to downtown. Houston’s housing boom and later westward expansion also boost the community's progression.

After WWII, developers started building subdivisions along the Buffalo Bayou. Most 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. This includes 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 also be attributed to many things. This includes the community’s deed restrictions, active homeowners association, and central location.

Fun Things To Do Near Frostwood

The community’s location near the bustling commercial district along Beltway 8 and Gessner Road is an excellent asset to the property. Residents don’t have to travel far to dining, retail, and entertainment hubs. Memorial Drive and Interstate 10 (Katy Freeway) also offer various options.
