Map of the Westbury Neighborhood in Houston, Texas

Westbury is quickly becoming one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Southwest Houston. It is known for its spacious mid-century homes, large lots, and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood offers convenient access to the Texas Medical Center, Galleria, and NRG Stadium. Westbury is also zoned to well-regarded schools like Parker Elementary School, a music magnet school, and it features multiple parks and green spaces. Renovation activity and community investment are on the rise, which is driving more attention from buyers and investors.

Established in the 1950s, Westbury is one of Houston’s classic post-war subdivisions, originally developed to accommodate the city’s growing population. The neighborhood consists of approximately 5,000 homes and is part of the larger Brays Oaks district. Demographically, Westbury is known for its diversity, welcoming families, young professionals, and retirees alike. It has a strong sense of community and active civic participation through the Westbury Civic Club. Interesting facts include its proximity to Willow Waterhole Greenway, a hidden gem of urban wetlands and trails, and the neighborhood’s participation in the Super Neighborhood program, which gives residents a stronger voice in city planning and development.

If you are looking for a neighborhood with character, accessibility, and strong long-term value, Westbury should be on your radar. If you're considering a move to Westbury, give me a call. I'd love to help you discover what makes this area so special.
