I don’t go there often but it looks like a house I have been to in Braeswood. So, that’s my guess. Braeswood.

Updates in this cute ranch brought to you by TS Allison. This is house on Brays Bayou, or very close to it, along North or South Braeswood, between Kirby & Stella Link.

Speaking of Glenbrook Valley, which is probably where this house is but somebody beat me to it loooong ago, have you noticed ad on Swamplot’s site. How cute how clever! Smart of that realtor to promote a whole neighborhood. Makes me want to move there.

I was discouraged and jealous because a couple of posters beat me to some really good guesses. But I’ve had my eureka moment– Ayrshire, where cul de sac streets dead end at the railroad tracks. The builders have scaped so many of the originals in there, but proximity to the tracks saved this one– and allowed some creative family to do a great job with it. Last laugh, (and good investment) now that the trains are quiet

Don’t know either neighborhood name, but either the area between West Alabama, Weslayan, the 59 Feeder and Drexel but not north of West Alabama/Highland Village) OR that neighborhood where all the streets are named for operas, right around Memorial/Briar Forest and the Beltway.

Spring Branch is good, but I think Spring Valley is better. It’s just that much closer to Ikea - which is where they’ve picked up a good bit of furniture. Quite tastefully decorated though and I’d be curious as to why the young couple (or maybe just a single woman?) is moving since they don’t seem to be forced out by a growing family or anything. Perhaps the dining nook just wasn’t cutting it as a home office. It looks more like a setting for the best game of battleship….EVER. Are the black beehives in the living room security cameras or speakers?

Getting in late on this one but I would like to win the prize. Robindell area.

I was originally thinking Larchmont or Afton Oaks, but thought a little harder as I think both neighborhoods have been played before. The style of the house is similar in those neighborhoods, with young/up-an-comers getting a great lot and investing in upgrades, rather than building. So, I switched tinkered my thoughts a little and was thinking Oak Estates or the outside edge of River Oaks along Weslayan near River Oaks Baptist. I live in the area and drive through Oak Estates often and notice the remainging smaller homes in the neighborhood (for the most part) are not as well kept…so, I am going with the outside edge of River Oaks near Weslayan, fit with a big lot and close to great schools for the kids.

I’m thinking around the Robindell/Maplewood area.
