Living in River Oaks
River Oaks sits between Buffalo Bayou and Westheimer Road, about four miles west of Downtown. Brothers Will and Mike Hogg and attorney Hugh Potter began developing it in the 1920s around the River Oaks Country Club, with curving streets, large wooded lots and deed restrictions that still shape the neighborhood today. Many of Houston's most important historic homes are here, next to newer estates built in the same spirit.
