Glenbrook Valley Named Best Hidden Neighborhood

"Back when it was laid out in 1954, Glenbrook Valley was a showpiece suburb, a mod vision of the glorious George Jetson age to come. Better Homes and Gardens even touted one of the six original Glenbrook ranchers as "the model home for all America." Unfortunately for those who bought in, Houston's march continued aggressively to the west, leaving affluent east side outposts like Hobby-area Glenbrook to wither in obscurity for decades. But now, with affordable homes on the West Side hard to find this side of Dairy Ashford, hip, young-ish Houstonians are starting to look east. And Glenbrook has a lot to offer „ it reminds us of a much more stylish Sharpstown, with houses that would do a Mad Men character proud set on lots practically the size of small farms."

This "nod" from the Press is one of many Glenbrook Valley has received over the last few years.   The stylish homes, large lots, beautiful trees and great values are attracting a whole new generation of residents to Glenbrook, breathing new life into this once forgotten treasure.   Interesting places are populated with interesting people, and this was never more true than in Houston's emerging east end neighborhoods.
