River Oaks is Houston’s most expensive neighborhood. River Oaks is also the 7th richest neighborhood in the U.S., behind neighborhoods such as Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Honolulu, and Beverly Hills.
River Oaks is one of the few real estate markets that have shown strength even in times when the US real estate markets are struggling.
River Oaks homes for sale have a neighborhood value range of $845,000 to $2,800,000. The River Oaks median home price is nearly $1.1M, features approximately 3,700 living spaces, a lot of 11,500 square feet, and features 3.5 bedrooms and just over 3 bathrooms.
