Aside from having one of the most expensive real estate west of Houston, Piney Point Village is the wealthiest community per capita income in Texas. A part of the Memorial Villages, Piney Point features luxury homes and grand estates.

Homes in the area are in high demand because of:

• Scenic, wooded location: Piney Point Village hugs the contours of the Buffalo Bayou. Deed restrictions and building ordinances protect this idyllic spot in the heart of the Memorial Villages.

• Great accessibility: Piney Point is centrally located within Memorial Villages and is within minutes of 4 major freeways: I-10, Loop 610, Westpark Tollway, and the Sam Houston Pkwy.

• Access to great schools: Served by both the Spring Branch ISD and the Houston ISD, Piney Point Village has access to the best schools in the area, including Memorial High School and Memorial Drive Elementary School. The Kinkaid School, a private prep school, is located within the city’s borders.

• Quiet and peaceful atmosphere: Piney Point homes for sale offer a restful atmosphere while still just minutes from Downtown Houston.

• Sprawling lots: Like its neighbor, Hunters Creek Village, Piney Point features oversized lots ranging from half-acre properties to sprawling 160,000-square-foot grounds.

• Access to retail and entertainment options: While the city doesn’t allow businesses within its borders, there are plenty of dining, retail, and entertainment options around Piney Point’s vicinity.

Piney Point Village is among the six villages that make up the Memorial Villages. An independent city, the neighborhood has an ambiance of luxury and elegance. Piney Point Village homes range from new custom-built homes to grand estates on large, sprawling lots.

Piney Point Village belongs to the six independent cities that compose the Memorial Villages, along with Hunters Creek, Hedwig, Bunker Hill, Hilshire, and Spring Valley. It lies in the south-central area of The Villages.

Its southern borders hug the Buffalo Bayou, with a small portion located across the Bayou. It has Hunters Creek to the east, Hedwig and Katy Fwy to the north, Bunker Hill to the west, and Houston to the south. Downtown Houston is about 10 miles east of Piney Point Village.

During the settlement of Texas in 1824, Stephen F. Austin granted a league of land to John D. Taylor, a member of the Old Three Hundred. Taylor’s home, Piney Point, inspired the city’s name.

By 1885, Piney Point was a station along the Texas Western Railroad and was home to several farms. During Houston’s suburban boom in the 1950s and 60s, development along the Buffalo Bayou also started in earnest. These developments led to several upper-middle-class subdivisions along the Bayou.

At the time, Houston was growing fast—it was looking to annex unincorporated neighborhoods into its borders. Piney Point residents chose to file a petition for incorporation with the five other villages to avoid annexation and maintain their neighborhood’s strict residential zoning.

Piney Point was incorporated in 1955 and still has an alderman form of government. It elects its mayor and city council members and co-operates the Memorial Villages Police Department with Bunker Hill and Hunters Creek.
The Village Fire Department and the Memorial Villages Water Authority serve all six Villages.

In the end, Piney Point succeeded with its original intentions – the city still has deed restrictions against businesses of any kind. Its country-living atmosphere and even its homes’ wooded grounds are meticulously maintained. It has a village arborist that helps residents care for the trees on their property.

Piney Point Village is often cited as the wealthiest location in Texas by per capita income – and it shows in the city’s elegant manors and luxury homes.

Most of the Piney Point Village is under the 77024 zip code, while the area situated south of the Buffalo Bayou has the 77063 Harris County zip code.

Zip codes near Hunters Creek Village include 77055, 77008, 77007, 77019, 77027, 77056, and 77057.

Piney Point Village Real Estate Trends

Piney Point Village real estate had one of the most impressive appreciation rates over the past ten years. Median sales prices in Piney Point increased by an overwhelming 108%, better than rates of the best Inner Loop neighborhoods.

From $1,346,500 in 2005, the median sales price of Piney Point homes increased to $2,797,500.

Average prices per square foot and lot cost per square foot have similarly increased over the last decade. From a $243 average price per square foot in 2005, Piney Point real estate now sells for an average of $425 per square foot, a 75% positive change. Lot prices jumped by 109%, from $22 to $46 during the same period.

There are several reasons for these price increases, including the recent teardown trend that’s been going around Piney Point and other cities in the Memorial Villages. Older homes are sold as lots or demolished by the owners and replaced with custom-built homes.

Other factors also come into play, including tight inventories and high demand.
