RIVER OAKS
Celebrities, politicians and even a few princes call River Oaks "home." Situated between the Memorial Heights and Upper Kirby areas, River Oaks is Houston's most prestigious (and famous) neighborhood. In addition to multi-million dollar estates, River Oaks affords some of Houston's finest shopping and dining establishments. And if living near some of Houston's most prominent schools is high on your list of priorities, then River Oaks could be just the area for you.
The neighborhood spans 1,100 acres bounded on the north by Buffalo Bayou, on the east by South Shepherd Drive, on the west by Willowick Road, and on the south by Westheimer.
You'll definitely want to check out the River Oaks Shopping center located at the corner of West Gray and South Shepherd. Start your day with a soothing facial and manicure or an invigorating massage at Urban Retreat Day Spa and Salon.
Eliminate lunchtime hunger pangs guilt-free with La Griglia's refreshing, health-conscious Insalata Frutti Di Mare, a delightful marriage of shrimp, crab, endive, avocado and mango tossed in a mouth-watering citrus vinaigrette. Then check out the latest arrivals at Twice New, a couture consignment boutique featuring gently-worn designs of the masters... Versace, Armani, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, to name only a few.
Take advantage of first-class dining and shopping at nearby Highland Village, home to many iconic favorites, including Central Market, Anthropologie, Williams-Sonoma, Cole Haan, Smith and Wollensky, P.F. Chang's, Escalante and RA Sushi.
If you're neither a celebrity, politician nor prince, you can still lead the glamorous life in a River Oaks area rental. Most rental properties are situated peripherally and afford a diverse menu of attractive features and amenities.
Some afford great area views, while others are located within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Whatever your housing tastes, there's likely a River Oaks apartment or townhome to satisfy them.
UPPER KIRBY
Located just minutes from Downtown, the Galleria, Rice Village and The Heights, Upper Kirby is just south of River Oaks, east of Greenway Plaza, west of Montrose, and north of West University Place and Rice. This centrally-located neighborhood is a highly-ranked favorite among Houston urbanites. Many residents live within walking distance of Whole Foods Store and popular restaurants, shops, coffee houses and wine bars... all of life's essentials, yes?
Although apartment pricing is somewhat higher than most surrounding areas, most properties are well worth it affording desirable amenities such as resort-style spas and swimming pools, high-speed Internet connections and Wi-Fi, along with well-appointed high-tech fitness centers.
If a sophisticated upscale lifestyle beckons, Upper Kirby affords no shortage of property types, including townhomes, apartments, lofts and condos... a perfect home for every desire, taste and personal preference.
