Houston's most exclusive
neighborhood is River Oaks, replete with white-columned mansions,
maids' quarters and manicured gardens. Nestled around the southern
edge of Memorial Park, River Oaks was established by Will and Mike
Hogg, the sons of former Texas Governor James Hogg. This exclusive
neighborhood of about 1,600 residents offers properties starting
near $400,000. Deed restrictions prohibit "For Sale" signs on the
properties. The River Oaks area is known for its quaint, upscale
restaurants as well as its exclusive boutiques and shops.
Characterized by smaller lots, Royden
Oaks, Oak Estates and Afton Oaks are located south of River Oaks.
Living there are many long-term residents, accompanied by young
couples who have purchased homes with renovation plans in mind.
River Oaks residents enjoy easy
access to the Southwest Freeway, a main artery southwest from
downtown, and Loop 610 around the inner city area. Added attractions
for residents are the nearby Galleria, the Museum District and the
Summit, home court to the Houston Rockets.
