Welcome to River Oaks

River Oaks is Houston’s most sought-after neighborhood situated within the 610 Loop between downtown and Uptown, it was the city’s first master-planned community and has long attracted Houston’s affluent and socially prominent residents. Spanning more than 1,100 acres, River Oaks, a well-publicized national model for community planning, is now a collection of both historic and sprawling estates.
 
The market in River Oaks includes opulent estates with extraordinary gardens. Built in a smattering of architectural styles, from English Tudor to Spanish Colonial Revival, the neighborhood’s original homes from the twenties and thirties are now mixed in with modern builds that are just as grand, in both size and sophistication. Many of the multi-million-dollar estates boast stunning gardens.
 
Bordered by the Buffalo Bayou and dotted with dense and mature trees, River Oaks is a well-named, tree-filled neighborhood. Loaded with street after street of impeccably maintained yards and elegant shopping centers, this lush enclave is one of the wealthiest communities in Texas. With first-class, exciting cuisine and social clubs, River Oaks has become a dining, shopping and living destination. A large collection of see-and-be-seen restaurants, like Steak 48, Le Colonial and Ford Fry’s State of Grace, are frequented by River Oaks residents. River Oaks is also home to several social clubs, like the Briar Club and the River Oaks Country Club. The River Oaks Shopping Center, an Art Deco gem built in 1937, was one of the first retail meccas in the state, and residents catch indie and foreign-language flicks at its red-curtained 1939 movie palace. On the area’s western edge, the River Oaks District lures in lovers of high fashion and celebrities with its luxury retail stores, such as Dior, Tom Ford and Harry Winston.
