History and location conspire to make River Oaks the most exclusive residential area in Houston. Just four miles west of downtown Houston, River Oaks residents enjoy easy access to the Greenway Plaza business district and the Uptown/Galleria area, each about four miles away. The neighborhood is bordered by Buffalo Bayou on the north, Southwest Freeway to the south, Shepherd Drive on the east and East Briar Hollow Lane on the west. Historically, land in River Oaks has held its value. A one-acre tract of land may sell well in excess of $1 million. While there is a wide range of architectural styles evident throughout River Oaks, strict control has created harmony with the landscaping and natural topography in this heavily wooded area. Many homes were designed by nationally recognized architects of the era. One such home, "Bayou Bend," was built by the sister of one of the original developers of River Oaks. She later donated the magnificent Greek revival property, along with its extensive collection of early American furniture and antiques, to the Museum of Fine Arts. Many River Oaks residents are Houston's business executives and professional leaders. They provide much of the civic, cultural and social leadership in the city. River Oaks is protected by very comprehensive deed restrictions that ensure that the area can never be invaded by commercial structures or multi-family housing. River Oaks affords its residents a comfortable and gracious lifestyle and is, perhaps, the most sought-after neighborhood in Houston.
