Braeswood Place offers stately residences in a prime Houston location
Braeswood Place is one of Houston's more sought-after neighborhoods, and for good reason. Containing a myriad of homes with unique architecture and several community parks just 8 miles from downtown, Braeswood Place also sits within driving (or walking) distance from various key destinations just beyond its borders, including the largest medical complex in the world. "Braeswood Place is in a prime location, and that's really what pulls homebuyers into the area," says Hawes Hill & Associates Director of Public Affairs and Communications Alan Bernstein. "Braeswood Place is inside the Loop, and its proximity to the Texas Medical Center is ideal for residents employed there. And the fact that about 80% of the city's museums are there makes it a premium neighborhood in people's eyes."
Braeswood Place has a population of about 29,000 full time residents.
Braeswood Place is a quiet neighborhood, located about ten minutes from downtown Houston.
