Publications including Forbes, Fortune, and The Wall Street Journal have heaped praise on Houston’s Memorial Villages, including these communities in countdowns such as ‘The Top Place to Live Well’ and ‘America’s Most Expensive Zip Codes.’

THE SIX VILLAGES

The quiet wooded community of Bunker Hill was first founded in 1954 and is today comprised of 1250 homes. Bunker Hill is closely situated to Beltway 8 and Interstate 10, allowing its residents easy access to the Memorial City Mall and CityCentre Plaza.

Hedwig is located east of Bunker Hill, conveniently positioned to the south of the Katy Freeway. Hedwig is the only Memorial Village which allows commercial development within its borders. Hedwig is consequently home to the Echo Lane and Hedwig Village Shopping Centers.

Hilshire is the smallest of the Memorial Villages, with 310 properties covering one third of a square mile. This highly exclusive community has the 10th highest per capita income in Texas.

Hunters Creek is situated between Hedwig and Hilshire, also on the southern side of Katy Freeway. Covering 2 square miles, this affluent community contains 1,460 homes and 6.33 miles of biking and hiking paths.

Piney Point is the wealthiest community in Texas based on per capita income. Piney Point boasts some of the Memorial Villages’ largest homes, with the smallest lots covering half an acre.

Spring Valley is west of Hilshire, on the north side of the Katy Freeway. This charming community offers the country living and big-city access for which the Memorial Villages are famous, with house prices which are often lower than in the other communities.
