Yorkshire Real Estate Guide

Yorkshire homes for sale & insider real estate guide

Yorkshire is a small affluent community of about 150 home sites located south of Memorial Drive. The neighborhood is east of N Kirkwood Road. Yorkshire is one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the Memorial area. This is due to the community's tree-lined streets and beautiful vintage homes.

Yorkshire is a sought-after community thanks to its:

• ACCESSIBILITY: The community lies between N Kirkwood Road and Wilcrest drive. It features convenient access to main roads and thoroughfares, including Westheimer Road, Beltway 8, and Interstate 10. Major employment centers and cultural and entertainment hotspots are an easy drive or commute from Yorkshire. Energy Corridor is less than 5 miles west of Yorkshire and Galleria is less than 13 miles southeast of the neighborhood.

• PROXIMITY TO PARKS: Yorkshire homes are a comfortable walk from the Buffalo Bayou Hike and Bike Trails and the Terry Hershey Park. The famous Memorial Park, George Bush Park, and Cullen Park are also comfortable driving from the community. The neighborhood also features the picturesque Buffalo Bayou just south of the area.

• SUPER NEIGHBORHOOD MEMBERSHIP: Yorkshire forms part of the Memorial Super Neighborhood, a community of residential subdivisions considered one of Bayou City’s most desirable real estate.

• ACTIVE COMMUNITY: The Yorkshire Civic Association actively enforces deed restrictions in the community to maintain the neighborhood’s charming small-town feel.

• TOP-RATED SCHOOLS: Yorkshire is zoned to the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD). The community is zoned to blue ribbon schools. Students in the area may attend Meadow Wood Elementary, Spring Forest Middle School, and Stratford High School.

• MIXED ARCHITECTURE: Yorkshire homes feature traditional, colonial, and English architectural styles. These homes sprawl on large wooded lots ranging from 12,000 to more than 20,000 square feet. Yorkshire features beautiful vintage homes from the 1960s that sit along lush tree-lined streets and landscaped islands. Yorkshire homes also feature formal dining, living areas, and vaulted ceilings. Hardwood floors and landscaped backyards are also some of the features of Yorkshire homes. Prices for Yorkshire homes for sale can start at around $840,000 to more than $1.2 million.

Yorkshire real estate can be tricky to navigate. This is due to its wide variety of home types (some are difficult to value correctly), an abundance of major thoroughfares (being on one hurts resale), and rising property values.

“We started working with Brittney Coyle in January 2022 on a visit to Houston with vague plans to move to Texas within the year. She listened carefully as we described our dream home and put together a synopsis of the various neighborhoods in Houston that would meet our needs. Over the months, she kept us informed of trends and availability so when we arrived in September to start our search we already had a game plan. Over the next 4 months we narrowed our search down to one neighborhood, visiting dozens of homes in the process. Brittney's insights and analyses were invaluable as we sorted through our options and her patience and poise were considerable!. Once we found our home, Brittney expertly guided us through inspections, negotiations and closing, giving us confidence in the soundness of our decision. Throughout the process of searching for and buying our home we were very grateful for Brittney's professionalism, graciousness and sense of humor. She has our full endorsement and we can't recommend her enough! Nancy and John Ferguson” - Nancy Ferguson (Google Review)

Yorkshire TX History

Yorkshire is within the Memorial Super Neighborhood. The community is between N. Kirkwood Road and Wilcrest Drive, with easy access to major highways like Westheimer Road.

The region included lumber mills and stables in the past. On plots of land, there were also ranch-style houses.

Throughout a housing boom, Houston grew outside of the Loop. Builders constructed upper-middle-class homes along the Buffalo Bayou.

Eventually, the Memorial's residential and commercial growth persisted. Deed-restricted neighborhoods, villages, and autonomous cities can be found there.

Yorkshire is part of such desired real estate that emerged over time. The Memorial area now has a vast selection of houses with various architectural features.
