-
The Crestwood neighborhood of Houston, Texas, is located just a few miles from downtown, along the north side of Memorial Drive, east of Memorial Park.
It is bounded to the east by Westcott Street, to the north by Arnot Street, and to the west by Crestwood Street. It is across Memorial Drive from the Glen Cove neighborhood and Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens.
The neighborhood was originally built around the time of the construction of the park, in the late 1930s, and was distinguished from nearby developments by larger lots, curbs, and sidewalks. In the 2000s, many of the original houses have been demolished and replaced by much larger homes.
A metal sign on the corner of Crestwood and Memorial reading "Crestwood Glencove" marks the neighborhoods.
In 2007, there were 128 single family properties in the subdivision with a median lot size of 9,900 square feet (920 m2) and a median appraised value of $833,968. The homes in this community had an average of 3.4 bedrooms and median square feet of 3,384 [ref 4]
