About Memorial
Memorial is Houston's premier family neighborhood, offering expansive estates, top-rated schools, and a quality of life unmatched in the city. Stretching west from the 610 Loop to Highway 6, Memorial encompasses several prestigious subdivisions including Piney Point Village, Bunker Hill Village, and Hedwig Village—each with its own municipal services and low tax rates. The neighborhood's defining feature is space: lots frequently exceed one acre, homes average 4,000-6,000 square feet, and mature oak trees create a park-like atmosphere throughout.
Memorial families benefit from proximity to Memorial Park, one of America's largest urban parks at 1,500 acres, offering running trails, golf courses, tennis courts, and countless recreational opportunities. The area's schools—both public (Memorial High School, Memorial Elementary) and private (The Village School, Awty International)—consistently rank among Texas's best, making Memorial the natural choice for families prioritizing education.
The neighborhood's strategic location provides easy access to the Energy Corridor, Galleria, and Downtown Houston, while maintaining a peaceful, suburban character. Memorial's combination of excellent schools, large properties, low crime, and strong property values has made it Houston's most sought-after family neighborhood for decades.

The Memorial Lifestyle
Life in Memorial centers on family, fitness, and community involvement. Mornings begin early with runs or bike rides through Memorial Park's shaded trails, or dropping children at schools like St. John's or Memorial High. Days involve managing professional careers in the Energy Corridor or Medical Center, volunteering at school events, or working from home offices overlooking backyard pools and outdoor living spaces. Afternoons mean carpooling to sports practices, music lessons, or academic clubs—Memorial families are deeply invested in their children's development. Evenings bring family dinners on expansive patios, neighborhood social events, or casual meals at local favorites like Cafe Express or Kiran's. Weekends revolve around youth sports leagues, pool parties with neighbors, rounds of golf at Memorial Park Golf Course, or family bike rides along the bayou. This is a community where children play safely in cul-de-sacs, parents know their neighbors, and the focus is on raising families in a secure, nurturing environment.
