I've gotten several PM's about posting pictures of 77079. And so I finally have a few of Yorkshire. Next week I'll add some of Terry Hershey/Buffalo Bayou which Yorkshire backs to.



As you can see, Western Memorial is a barren wasteland.


A little Creole number that backs to the bayou

Complete with Spanish Moss

But if you want to go full on French, there's a little of that too.

The houses are really built right on top of each other.

Scarlett O'Hara lives here

Or maybe here

But if you want more English style, there's that too. Turret included.

And some Georgian

And new fangled, new build, Hill Country style on the Bayou is all the rage.





This one was just bought and will be razzed. What are the chances it will be Hill Country style too?

I think the Brady's lived here once.You can catch a glimpse of Terry Hershey up their driveway

One of the treeless esplanades

I bet this house gets loud during Hail storms

If you like that David Weekly 1990's style, this one's for you

Sometimes you just wish for a little shade




The end.

Great pics EA! Yes, barren wasteland. LOL!

I should get out and about and take some pics of Georgetown and Memorial Plaza/Rustling Oaks. Hmmm. Maybe I already have some? I'll have to check.

I think that would be a great addition. Many non-Houstonians don't know about this area. It's comparable to any far out burb for safety and schools, except that the houses are older. And the location is a heck of a lot better.

Most of the west Memorial neighborhoods look like that. Stately homes with trees that have been growing for 40 years.

Yorkshire is beautiful! I live next to this neighborhood. The lots in Yorkshire are bigger than in Wilchester, Wilchester West, and Nottingham. The only negative is the kids are not zoned to WIlchester Elementary like the surrounding neighborhoods. The middle school for Yorkshire is Spring Forest which is not so desirable to most area parents. The home prices would really be much higher in Yorkshire if the schools were Wilchester Elem & Memorial Middle. I know some people wait until their kids are out of elem & middle school to buy in Yorkshire because the high school is the same for everyone this side of the beltway, Stratford.
It is a really nice neighborhood and home prices start at around 600K (for a total re-do) and go over 1 million.

Yes, pretty much everyone in the neighborhood has their kids in Private all the way through High School. But Spring Forest has gotten actually pretty good over the past few years. A neighbor of mine is the CIO for Memorial Hermann, and all his boys have gone through Meadow Wood and Spring Forest. But, you can ask for Memorial Middle or Wilchester from Yorkshire and you can go.

What elementary school does Yorkshire have?
Are there any "bad" elementary schools in the area besides Thornwood?

Yorkshire is zoned to Meadow Wood. It's by no means bad, it's just a little more diverse. But not by much.
