| River Oaks is considered one of Houston's most exclusive neighborhood with about 1,600 residents. Newer homes are in the millions and older homes start around $400,000 - $600,000. Many of the area's streets are named after famous golf and country clubs in other cities. River Oaks was established by Will and Mike Hogg, sons of former Texas Governor James Hogg, and lawyer Hugh Potter in 1924. The Hogg brothers promoted lots in the subdivision in 1928 for $2,200. The deed restrictions at that time required architectural control and prohibited homes priced below $7,500. The restrictions for Kirby Drive allowed only homes of American Colonial or English Tudor style. River Oaks is well known for its white-columned mansions and lovely manicured gardens. Deed restrictions prohibit "for sale" signs on the properties. High grade homes are being torn down and replaced by larger ones. Unusual features in some houses include indoor swimming pools, racquetball and basketball courts as well as basements and wine cellars. Residents have easy access to 59 (Southwest Freeway) and the 610 Loop. Nearby attractions include the Galleria, the Museum District and the Theater District. Children attend Houston I.S.D. There are also many private schools in the area. |
