Lazy Brook/Timbergrove, the western edge of Greater Heights, and the northern edge of Washington Avenue Coalition/Memorial Park

Just a few miles west of The Heights, the Timbergrove community gives residents quick access to the perks of city life, while also maintaining a strong connection to nature. In recent years, this area has seen a notable surge in population, with its quiet streets and serene landscape making it especially attractive to anyone ready to put down roots for the first time. The available housing options, which range from retro ranch-style homes with spacious backyards to modern townhouses complete with balconies, also attract newcomers. Although there’s no lack of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops within Timbergrove, the multiple parks that dot the area give it its main appeal. And, for those who want a little more of an urban feel alongside their green space, they can meet that need by settling down on either the eastern edge of this neighborhood, which touches the Greater Heights, or on the southernmost side, which borders the Washington Avenue / Memorial Park community.

Neighborhood Vibe

In a community literally named after the abundance of trees found here, you can expect a heavy emphasis on nature from the start. And, if the large pines that shade every corner don’t confirm that, the residents out jogging, biking, and picnicking in the area’s various green spaces, such as Jaycee Park or Timbergrove Manor Park, should. In fact, most Houstonites will associate this locale with its landmark outdoor attraction: the West White Oak Bayou Trail. This 7.4-mile long path runs along the banks of the White Oak Bayou and features top-notch views of Downtown Houston’s skyscrapers.

Our Favorite Spots

Should you ask Timbergrove residents their favorite neighborhood spot for grub, prepare to hear Vietnamese restaurant Hughie’s mentioned more times than not. A community fixture for close to three decades, this dining hotspot plates up traditional staples of Southeast Asian cuisine, such as shaking beef and vermicelli bowls, as well as pub-style burgers and an impressive selection of craft beers. Causal restaurant and sports bar Cactus Cove Bar & Grill presents another popular local pick. At this spot, you can cheer on the Texans or Astros with the crew over large plates of Tex-Mex comfort food.

Things to Know

With its Inner Loop locale and proximity to the city’s various hubs of entertainment and commerce, living in the Timbergrove community gives locals the convenience of a centrally located home base without the hefty price tag you might find in similarly situated neighborhoods, such as The Heights or Downtown. Plus, while its position near the White Oak Bayou makes for an accessible scenic stroll, it also comes with a potential pitfall: flooding. And, in a city known to experience torrential rainstorms, any future renters and homeowners looking in this area should consider the possible environmental risk.

Great service, takes the stress out of apartment searching. This is actually my second time using Aptamigo in Denver. Worked with Bralie who was amazing. She was super communicative, candid, helpful, and definitely knew a lot about the market and buildings before touring. You pretty much just have a conversation on what you're looking for and they take care of the rest. Thanks for the help!

Great experience with Bobby. I contacted him literally only a day before flying out to Austin, and he was able to set up appointments for me the very next day. He picked me up and drove me around to the different places, and when I suddenly found out I'd have another roommate, he worked with me to pivot into finding 2/2's instead of 1/1's. He talked to each of the leasing…

AptAmigo's apartment locator service was an absolute LIFESAVER for my partner and I!! Aptamigo offered to connect me with an expert for free and I didn't think it would be legit. Julia emailed me that night offering to set up a call the next day, I was concerned about how much it would cost me and she assured me it would all be completely free. So she called me the next day and…

Wow! What a time saver! Had a short time to find apartment and after an introduction call, where we discussed my needs/wants, Liz sent me over a list of potential apartments. She then set up all the appointments as I was flying in for 2 days to view. She found places that fit my budget and desires and selected the second apartment viewed as it was perfect! I cannot rave enough…

I was planning to move from out of state to Chicago and Vanessa at AptAmigo quickly reached out and provided some recommendations. The website was easy to use to learn about different locations and see reviews. Vanessa was always ready to help and acted fast when I made a decision. I’m not sure how she had so much time in her day, but I would highly recommend signing up if you are moving.

My roommate and I were struggling with finding the right apartment that met all of our ends (price, move-in date, location) and I reached out to AptAmigo for help. Bobby helped us find an apartment within a few hours and we were able to apply and sign the lease within a few days. He was so helpful and answered all my questions that I had. Definitely recommend! (and its free)

I had been looking at apartments in Chicago for months and had no luck finding anything. Then my friend told me that Apt. Amigo really helped her and she referred me to Kristin. It was such a pleasure working with her, she made it such an easy process and I ended up finding an apartment I really liked! Thanks Kristin :)

I was moving to area from out of state on a VERY tight time frame. Marlee was absolutely amazing, from our initial interaction thru the entire process could not have imagined such exceptional service. Marlee is the definition of professional. Thank you.
