Luxury Homes

August 20, 2012 billedge

 

In Search of Excellence?Houston has been home to the Oil Rich, Venture Capitalists, and Civic leaders who all had a vision of the future.   They took risks daily and gambled fortunes on nothing more than their determination to succeed.   People such as R. E. Bob Smith, Frank Sharp, Gerald Hines, Judge Roy Hofeinz, Jesse Jones, Judge Elkins, and William Hogg made decisions years ago that have shaped Houston today.

River Oaks Houston’s most famous luxury neighborhood came about because the Hogg brothers bought 1,100 acres of land that Mr. Dickey thought was worthless.  The land was located next to Buffalo Bayou and flooded regularly.  The Army corps of engineers tamed Buffalo Bayou in the 1930’s, and that worthless land today is River Oaks one of America finest Luxury neighborhoods.   The Dickey’s kept the valuable Land to the south which they developed and still own many acres there today.

Houston’s Luxury real estate still brings back imagines of these bigger than life individuals who made millions and gambled millions away.   Whether searching for luxury homes in innerloop neighborhoods such as River Oaks, Bellaire, Afton Oaks, West University, or outside the loop in Sugar Land, Memorial, or The Woodlands.   You will have that home experience and style of life found in the finest luxury homes located around the globe.
