Memorial Villages Homes and Condos for Sale

Located about 10 miles to the west of Downtown Houston, Texas, you have the Memorial Villages offering tranquil seclusion from Houston's hustle and bustle. The modern-day Memorial Villages got its beginning in 1824 when John D. Taylor acquired a land title comprising 4,428 acres, which bordered Buffalo Bayou. For generations, scattered country estates represented Memorial Villages, giving the area an air of prestige and luxury. Even as commercial and retail business began sprouting up around the Memorial Villages. In the 1950s, the city of Houston experienced a boom in population growth, causing the longtime residents of this area to establish residential zoning regulations in an attempt to block annexation by the more prominent city. To do this, they joined together and created six independent villages: Piney Point, Hilshire Village, Spring Valley, Bunker Hill, Hedwig, and Hunters Creek. It wasn’t long until people referred to the area as “the villages.” Today, the Memorial Villages continue to maintain that unique country-estate atmosphere, which is one of the reasons real estate in this area is some of the most sought after in the state of Texas.

Those who own property in the Memorial Villages can enjoy solitude while having full access to essential amenities and entertainment attractions. In addition to that, various natural green spaces surround the Houston metro area. One such example is the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, a 14-acre estate of Houston philanthropist Ima Hogg. It is one of the oldest known projects of its kind focused on sustainability. For instance, only one tree was cut down to make room for the mansion, while every garden is created around the existing trees. Another favorite attraction for both residents and tourists is the Houston Zoo located at 6200 Hermann Park Drive in Houston. Certified by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), this 55-acre zoological park is home to exhibits such as African Forest, McNair Asian Elephant Habitat, Kipp Aquarium, Birds, and Carnivores.
