DescriptionThe Afton Oaks / River Oaks area includes two of Houston’s most prestigious upper-income neighborhoods. River Oaks began in the 1920s, and it quickly became Houston’s most affluent development of residential area and remains so today. Afton Oaks was developed in the suburban boom after World War II. Many of Afton Oaks’ original ranch-style homes are now being extensively renovated or are being replaced with much larger homes. Afton Oaks and River Oaks are conveniently located between Downtown and the Uptown/Galleria area. The area also includes Post Oak Park, a mixed use de-velopment in the northwest portion of the neighborhood. Post Oak Park was one of the first fashionable apartment districts devel-oped along Mid Lane in the 1960s. Garden apartments have replaced luxury homes and townhouses as area land prices rise.
