Sherwood Oaks - Overview

Overview

The Sherwood Oaks subdivision was officially platted in 1961 with construction continuing through the early 1970s. The total number of homes is 342. The neighborhood is filled with very mature trees, and many of the streets end in cul-de-sacs. Because the neighborhood only has three main entry points, cut through traffic is minimal. The Oak Stream entrance at the I-10 access road is the subdivisions main entrance, with Timberline Drive at Sherwood Forest and Hazelhurst at Sherwood Forest being alternate entrances. As of March 2010, home values hoover at around $230,000. The subdivision has become increasingly popular because it is zoned to Stratford High School and because the homes resemble those of the more expensive West Memorial homes that sell from about $400,000. The houses along Scenic Ridge Drive back onto the Addicks Reservoir, a large green space area. The neighborhood has a very active homeowners association, private garbage, and regular security provided by off-duty Harris County constables.
