Braeburn, Houston, Texas

Braeburn is a group of subdivisions in southwest Houston, Texas along Brays Bayou west of Hillcroft Avenue and south of the Sharpstown community. The first of these middle class subdivisions was developed after World War II at a time when Richmond Road (later renamed as Bissonnet Street) provided the route into the city, rather than U.S. Highway 59. Development continued into the 1970s. The Braeburn Country Club is located in the center of the community. Many large tracts of land were developed as apartment complexes. Subdivisions found here include Robindell, Braeburn Glen, Larkwood, Braeburn Valley, and—the acreage lot subdivision—Brae Acres.
