River Oaks and Uptown out to Memorial and Meyerland

River Oaks was developed in the 1920s by Mike Hogg and Hugh Potter around the River Oaks Country Club, a garden suburb with deed restrictions and a design review written in from the start and a "gentleman's agreement" that kept out Black and Jewish buyers. Uptown, still three miles outside the city limits in 1948, grew from the 1960s when Gerald D. Hines and others began building there, and is centered on the Galleria, the largest shopping mall in Texas. Memorial was country estates and farmland that Houston annexed piece by piece between the 1950s and the 1980s. Meyerland was opened in 1955 by George Meyer on 1,200 acres of his family's former rice fields, one of the first deed-restricted communities in the city and long the center of Jewish Houston. Gulfton's apartment complexes went up in the 1960s and 1970s for young workers arriving for the oil boom, and when it ended their owners filled them with newly arrived immigrants. 5 guides are listed below.

Two checks come before the price here. The school district is often not Houston ISD: most of Memorial is in Spring Branch ISD and its western end in Katy ISD, and part of Uptown is in Spring Branch ISD too, so the tax arithmetic on this site's calculators, which is built on a Houston ISD address, does not apply to them as it stands. And the southwest floods: Brays Bayou flooded Meyerland on Memorial Day 2015 and Hurricane Harvey inundated it in 2017, new houses there are being built several feet above the base flood elevation, and Project Brays, the flood control work along the bayou, is meant to take some homes out of the 100-year floodplain. The flood history of the exact house, and a flood policy priced on it, belong in the offer. Bellaire, West University Place and the six Memorial Villages sit among these neighborhoods as separate cities, so an address in one of them is not in Houston.
