Nestled among towering Pines and grand Magnolias and known for its quaint architectural elegance, this neighborhood of 1400 homes continues to gain in popularity each year. From quaint cottages and charming bungalows to plantation, ranch and southwestern style homes, Garden Oaks supports a diverse housing stock of renovated and new-construction homes while maintaining its charm and sense of history. Just north of Loop 610 and close to the action of downtown Houston, the lack of curbs, gutters and sidewalks in Garden Oaks adds to the rural feel of this close-in community in stark contrast to its location. Large lot sizes, nearly double those of comparable subdivisions, characterize the neighborhood. A pleaser for growing families, the extra space allows plenty of rooms for additions that sometimes double the space of the neighborhoods traditional 1,100-square-foot bungalows. Additionally, some cottages feature attics that have been converted into master bedroom suites. The popularity of Garden Oaks is growing with both young couples, empty nesters and urban professionals who seek the peaceful feel of an established, historic neighborhood but who also want to be close to the Houston Inner Loop action. Because of its excellent location, mass appeal, oversized lots, and booming property values, Garden Oaks is often compared to the more expensive communities of West University and Bellaire. As residents delight in pointing out, dollar for dollar Garden Oaks packs more bang for the near-uptown buck. The neighborhood is served by the following Houston ISD schools: Garden Oaks Elementary School, Black Middle School, and Waltrip High School. Garden Oaks Elementary School features a Montessori program.
