River Oaks Neighbors

back to neighborhoods

Residential “inside the loop” neighborhoods contiguous to prestigious River Oaks offer some of Houston’s most desirable properties. The continuation of River Oaks streets wind through neighborhoods like Avalon, Royden Oaks, Oak Estates, Highland Village, and Afton Oaks.

New construction is replacing the 1950s ranch style homes; strong civic associations enforce deed restrictions and architectural control to maintain the neighborhoods’ integrity. This attention to detail makes home purchases in these areas some of the best investments in the city.

The area is noted for beautiful oak trees and quiet, neighborly ambience. Yet, minutes away, residents can enjoy the business and shopping opportunities in Downtown Houston or the Uptown/Galleria area

Nearby River Oaks Park features playground equipment, tennis courts, a basketball court, and a civic building, while 1,505-acre Memorial Park offers wooded settings for golfing, biking, jogging, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and baseball, as well as bridle paths and picnic areas. The Briar Club (private) has its own swimming, tennis, dining, and work-out facilities.

Located in the Houston Independent School District, the area is also near such respected private educational institutions as St. John’s School and River Oaks Baptist School.

Current property ranges from $200,000 to $900,000 with new construction averaging between $600,000 and $1,500,000, as well as numerous million-dollar custom homes.
