Yorkshire Houston: Real Estate, Larger Lots, Schools & Memorial West Lifestyle

Yorkshire is a relatively small Memorial West subdivision in Houston’s 77079 area, and its housing profile stands out from many nearby neighborhoods because of larger homes and larger lots. Buyers who want to remain near the Energy Corridor while considering a more estate-oriented setting often compare Yorkshire Houston real estate with Wilchester, Memorial Bend and other Memorial West neighborhoods.

Yorkshire Home Prices, Lot Sizes and Housing Profile

HAR’s 2025 neighborhood profile lists 156 single-family properties in Yorkshire, with a median home size of about 4,002 square feet, a median lot size of roughly 14,005 square feet and a median year built of 1967. The reported neighborhood value range was approximately $900,000 to $2.5 million, with a median market value around $1.53 million.

The neighborhood also includes renovated and newer custom homes that can push pricing above older neighborhood benchmarks. In late August 2026, active HAR asking prices in Yorkshire were roughly $1.765 million to $2.825 million, illustrating how lot size and substantial improvements can move the market into a higher tier.

For buyers comparing luxury-oriented options outside the Memorial Villages, Yorkshire can be evaluated alongside Memorial Bend Houston and the broader Houston luxury real estate market.

Architecture and Neighborhood Character

Yorkshire was developed primarily in the 1960s, but individual homes vary widely today. Buyers may encounter traditional homes, major additions, complete renovations and newer custom construction. Larger-than-average lots make redevelopment and expansion potential an important part of the valuation conversation.

Because the subdivision contains relatively few properties, each sale can have an outsized effect on perceived market averages. Comparable-sales analysis should therefore focus on lot size, effective age, quality of improvements and location within the neighborhood rather than relying only on a neighborhood-wide median.

Schools Near Yorkshire Houston

Current listing data for Yorkshire addresses commonly shows Meadow Wood Elementary, Spring Forest Middle and Stratford High within Spring Branch ISD. Yorkshire Academy, a private preschool and elementary school, is also located on Memorial Drive nearby. Public-school attendance should always be verified by exact address with Spring Branch ISD before a purchase decision.

Location, Dining and Outdoor Access

Yorkshire is positioned near Memorial Drive, Wilcrest, the Energy Corridor, CityCentre and Town & Country Village. Terry Hershey Park and Buffalo Bayou recreation are nearby, while the neighborhood remains primarily residential rather than walkable or mixed-use.

Buyers who want even more direct park adjacency may compare Yorkshire with Wilchester Houston homes or Westchester Houston real estate. Those prioritizing distinctive mid-century architecture may prefer to explore Memorial Bend.

Buying or Selling in Yorkshire Houston

Yorkshire’s small size and higher-value housing stock make property-specific analysis especially important. When evaluating a home, consider lot dimensions, drainage, additions, builder/renovation quality, foundation and structural history, mechanical systems, outdoor improvements, pool condition and the quality of comparable sales.
