Neighborhood Guide: Timbergrove Houston
Timbergrove, one of Houston’s hottest neighborhoods, sits near the northwest bend of Loop 610.
Lazybrook/Timbergrove is located directly west of the Heights and to the north of Cottage Grove. Garden Oaks and Oak Forest are located farther north, across Loop 610, while Memorial Park, Camp Logan, and Rice Military sit south, just beyond the Katy Freeway.
Timbergrove Manor features two communities, one west of the White Oak Bayou and other to the east. Each community has its own homeowners association: the Timbergrove Manor Civic Club for the western area, and the Timbergrove Manor Neighborhood Association for the homes east of the bayou.
Both communities are deed-restricted and mostly feature single-detached, ranch-style homes.
Development in Timbergrove started during Houston’s post-WWII suburban boom in the 50s and 60s. During that period, Timbergrove homes mostly consisted of traditional and ranch-style homes on fairly large lots.
Years later in the 90s and 2000s, young professionals and families were drawn to the area due to its close-in location to Houston’s key hubs and its affordable homes. Some updated or renovated their ranch-style homes, while other rebuilt more modern two-story homes.
The transition from old to new has been slow in the Timbergrove, though it is not rare to see a custom-built home among the neighborhood’s rustic, vintage homes.
Timbergrove is within the 77008 zip code of Harris County.
