Wednesday Boulevard
Oaks is one of Houston's premier inner city neighborhoods, noted
for its beauty and grace. Located near Rice University, approximately
four miles southwest of Downtown, its boundaries are the Southwest Freeway
to the north, Morningside to the west, Bissonnet to the south, and Graustark/Parkway
to the east (plus the 5300 blocks of Cherokee and Mandell, the 1700
blocks of Albans, Wroxton, Bolsover and Rice Blvd., and properties facing
Ashby). There are more than 1,200 residences, together with some 30
small businesses along Bissonnet and Sunset. See
Map. A wide variety of housing is found in the neighborhood ranging
from old mansions to bungalows, and a small section of ranch-style homes
built after World War II, though many have been recently replaced by
larger two-story homes. The advantages of Boulevard Oaks can be summed
up under three headings: location, beauty, and neighborhood culture.
