• HISTORIC HOMES: Most Tealwood homes were built between the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. It is mostly made up of single-family which sit within Houston, while the rest are within the Bunker Hill Village. Architectural styles vary from traditional ranch-style to modern and contemporary designs.

Tealwood real estate can be tricky to navigate due to a number of factors. The list includes older homes (some will need renovations), proximity to busy roads, and limited inventories. Very few Tealwood homes for sale are put up on the market every year. It is beneficial for homebuyers to find a Realtor who knows the area.

Tealwood TX History

Before Tealwood’s development during the 1960s, the Memorial area was primarily rural. It featured a few timber mills, farms, and homes scattered throughout the vast and verdant areas around the Buffalo Bayou. Post-WWII saw a housing boom in Houston, and development moved west.

Subdivisions like Tealwood broke ground during this period. Today, homes in Memorial are among the most coveted in the state.

Tealwood’s homes were mostly built from the 1960s to the early 1980s. The neighborhood has an active homeowners association.

The neighborhood’s duck logo first appeared in Tealwood’s newsletter in 1991. Later, Bob Longmire redesigned the logo to reflect Tealwood’s three sections. The “three duck overlapping logo” adorns the neighborhood’s sign, website, and newsletter.
