Garden Oaks

With their huge, wooded lots and tight knit community, Garden Oaks has become one of the more sought after family friendly neighborhoods in Northwest Houston. Located just north of Houston Heights and east of Oak Forest, this neighborhood is conveniently located to most of what Houston's inner loop has to offer and provides of an easy commute to downtown Houston. Established in 1937, the homes of Garden Oaks range from bungalows and cottages to traditional two story construction of the time. However, there has been a resurgence of new construction in the neighborhood in recent years, as families flock to great public schools like Garden Oaks Elementary and private schools like Saint Rose of Lima. Dining and shopping options near the neighborhood have improved tremendously in recent years. With the dramatic of resurgence of neighborhood Oak Forest and Houston Heights, restaurateurs and shop owners have entered the market to meet demand of the increasingly affluent residents. Recently established gastropubs like Shepherd Park and Cottonwood have quickly become neighborhood staples.
