Bellaire started not much later and they still have a ways to go. Garden Oaks has decades to go.

The ones that have been vacant for a number of years while the owner has been in a nursing home, and the long time rentals, etc. are going fast for lot value. But there are still a number of well maintained originals, and soundly remodeled (often with additional square footage added) older homes that may be around for a while. Question for swamplot readers: Will neighborhoods like Garden Oaks and Oak Forest ultimately go to essentially 100% new construction, or will there be a market - perhaps a premium market - for the well preserved, well maintained original homes? (Yes, I am aware this is Houston.) Yes, there are a shrinking number of the “originals” left in Garden Oaks.
