Welcome to Memorial

Back when Memorial Drive was just a simple country road, it ran alongside a number of small farms that dotted the once–wide open spaces. Now, the long thoroughfare that this neighborhood gets its name from bisects a vibrant residential community nestled between the busy Katy Freeway and the meandering Buffalo Bayou waterway.

Memorial:
Affluent, forested neighborhood offering the best of the big city.

Situated west of greater Houston, Memorial’s residents don’t have to choose between the neighborhood’s large lots or a manageable commute to the city’s heart. Memorial derives its name from Memorial Drive, the east-to-west road that bisects the neighborhood.

Unexpected appeal:
Quintessential feel with well-rounded amenities for residents.

Rising in popularity during recent years, Memorial is the kind of place where kids play in sizable yards in front of picturesque homes, and it’s not unusual to see families out for evening strolls or kids enjoying the splash pad at the 22-acre Nottingham Park.

The market:
Ample lots with exquisite, updated residences.

Many of the area’s original one-story ranch homes, developed in the sixties and seventies, have been replaced. New construction, mid-century modern homes are rising in popularity in the wooded neighborhood. You can expect to see lots of large Georgian, Mediterranean and traditional brick two-stories that have been thoroughly modernized.

You'll fall in love with:
Memorial’s plentiful parks.

Memorial is a very wooded area with plenty of protected park areas around the Buffalo Bayou. Terry Hershey Park may not be as well known as expansive Memorial Park, a few miles to the west, but it’s no less beloved by Memorial residents who frequent its bucolic six-mile hike and bike trail, which runs along Buffalo Bayou. Two massive nature preserves - Bear Creek Pioneers Park and George Bush Park - are also close by.
