Spring Shadows TX History

Spring Shadows started as a largely rural area. Logging was the primary industry in the wooded areas until German farmers settled.

Initially, development in the area started in earnest. There was high demand during Houston's housing boom.

Houston's real estate market continued to prosper during the completion of Interstate 10. Likewise, this drew a demand for homes in Spring Shadows.

During this period, several developers bought up farmland. They also built subdivisions north and south of I-10.

Today, Spring Shadows is a thriving neighborhood. Most of the area's original homes have been updated and maintained.

Some houses have been torn down. This is in favor of new townhomes and patio home development.
