Around Braeswood Place

Each of the seven subdivisions in Braeswood Place has its own vibe. In the Braeswood Heights area, the lots are large and many of the 1950s ranch-style homes have been replaced by newer homes. Braes Oaks is considered the area's "prime location" with home prices that reflect the level of demand for these homes. For those who want modern conveniences with the look of a historic home, Southern Oaks is filled with homes that were recently renovated.

Houston was recently ranked by the Washington Post as one of the best cities for food in the country.
