WHERE TO LIVE NOW

GARDEN OAKS

Surrounded by towering pines and grand magnolias, GARDEN OAKS is one of Houston’s best
kept secrets. Established in 1937 just eight or so miles from downtown Houston, this charming
neighborhood includes ranch-style houses and bungalows. Regarded as “the new River Oaks,” this
community is home to Cottonwood, Flying Saucer Pie Company and The Bell Tower. But don’t just
take our word for it, stroll down Garden Oak’s winding streets through Graham Park’s Rose
Garden on a beautiful day and do local.
