WHERE TO LIVE NOW

MEMORIAL
Known for its abundance in nature, part due to Buffalo Bayou running along its south side, this neighborhood is definitely not lacking
in trees. With Spring Valley Village, Piney Point Village, Bunker Hill Village, Hedwig Village, Hilshire Village and Hunters Creek
Village, these six villages make up Memorial Villages, well-known for their winding, country-like roads lined with Georgian and
ranch-style homes. Having areas such as Memorial City and the CityCentre nearby, people are able to enjoy their time shopping and
trying out all the new restaurants. The Houston Country Club and the Houstonian are known to be two of the best clubs in Houston.
Having the best workout equipment, swimming pools, spas and restaurants, these clubs allow you to relax and enjoy your days off.
Bunker Hill Elementary, Spring Branch Junior High, Memorial High School, the all-girl Catholic school Duchesne Academy of the
Sacred Heart and The Kinkaid School provide students some of the best education in Houston, making Memorial notable.
