The historic community that is Hyde Park sits just four miles to the west of Downtown Houston, and like the rest of the city is experiencing a wave of development and activity. Hyde Park places great importance on the homes in the area, with many residents opting into historical deed restrictions to preserve the unique character and tree-lined streets.

There’s been a number of trendy restaurants and bars that have sprung up in Hyde Park in recent years, the bulk of them settling along perimeter streets like Westheimer Rd. and Shepherd Dr. There’s also numerous retail stores and a theater along West Gray St.

Hyde Park is a sought after locale in Houston. It’s close enough to the city center for residents to enjoy the downtown district after a quick drive, but its unique character makes it a more tranquil escape compared to the rest of the city.
