Greater Inwood
Once a posh neighborhood created for oil executives and their families during Houston’s oil boom, Greater Inwood has grown into a cultural melting pot that embraces everyone.
An established community filled with picturesque homes, Greater Inwood is a warm and welcoming community that its residents are proud to call home. Mature trees full of lush green leaves canopy the streets providing shade from the hot Houston sun. one- and two-story updated Craftsman homes are popular in the area, featuring brick and stone façades and attached garages. Spacious traditional homes can also be found — some on large corner lots — displaying similar exterior features. All the established homes also flaunt well-manicured lawns and large yards and can range in price from the high $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. Newly built row houses decked out in vibrant colors are now showing up on the scene, adding a splash of personality among all the brick and stone. While they may lack garages, they do display fresh and fun enclosed parking gates as part of the spacious driveways directly in front of the homes. These new builds can be priced from the low $300,000s to the high $400,000s.
Because of the neighborhood’s coverage area, it’s ultimately served by the Houston, Aldine, Cypress-Fairbanks and Klein Independent School Districts. With that, students can attend Holbrook Elementary School and Dean Middle School before enrolling in Jersey Village High School. A National Blue Ribbon School, Jersey Village also has a top-rated band and counts famed musicians and recording artists like Howie Behrens, Chamillionaire and Paul Wall among its notable alums. According to Niche, Holbrook and Jersey Village hold scores of A-minus, while Dean holds a score of B.
Inwood Forest Park is a favorite gathering spot among residents. Whether it’s to take an early morning stroll along the walking path, get a couple of matches in at the tennis courts, take a dip in the pool or just let the kids get some exercise at the playgrounds while you get some work done, Inwood Forest Park always meets the needs of the residents. Aron Ledet Park provides a fun-filled day for the kids with its playgrounds and splash pad for them to keep cool in the hot summer sun. Several community pools are also sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.
Houston-based grocery store Foodarama is the choice go-to for fresh produce, prime cuts of meat and groceries and other daily essentials. For a little bit of dining excitement, dive into Daquiri Swamp to try their Cajun-style seafood and signature blended drinks.
One of the most unique attributes of Greater Inwood is that White Oaks Bayou flows directly through the neighborhood, providing something like a place of solace for the residents. This 17-mile waterway that empties into the Buffalo Bayou is a peaceful spot for neighbors to sit and observe the local wildlife, admire the blooming flowers and be happy to be home.
