Forest Oaks - Unclaimed

Anchored by Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, Shepherd Park Plaza, and Candlelight, 77018 blends mid-century ranch homes on leafy, oversized lots with new builds and a tight-knit civic-club culture. Expect a humid subtropical climate with long warm seasons, shaded streets under live oaks and pines, and an easy suburban-urban balance about 15 minutes from downtown via 610, 290, and I-45. Weekends revolve around green space and casual gathering: Oak Forest and Candlelight parks, access to T.C. Jester Park and the White Oak Bayou Trail for biking and jogging, and lawn games at Wakefield Crowbar. Coffee and dining cluster along 34th Street and North Shepherd—Slowpokes, Gatlin’s BBQ, local taquerias—and nearby breweries like Walking Stick and Great Heights keep things lively. Everyday errands are simple with Kroger on W 43rd, Aldi on N Shepherd, and the Stomping Grounds retail and dining hub. Recent market trends show a median rent in the high $1,800s, with most listings ranging roughly from the mid-$1,400s to the low-$2,400s. The area feels family and pet friendly with active neighbors and shaded sidewalks.
