Timbergrove Manor is a wonderful little suburb located within the urban 610 Loop. Just 5 miles northwest of downtown, Timbergrove Manor is a deed-restricted neighborhood developed in the early 1950's. Many of the residents have been here since the neighborhood was established, and some who grew up in the neighborhood have bought homes and are raising their kids here as well. The neighborhood straddles 11th Street with TC Jester to the west and Durham to the east and there is easy access to I-10 and to the North 610 Loop.
Originally settled by German farmers in the late 1800s, the area was the site of a major oil discovery in the 1930s known as “Eureka.” Reminders of that distant past remain in a nearby railroad yard, still called the Eureka Yard, and one of the original churches, built by early settlers in 1891, St. John’s German Lutheran Church, that still exists, although it now resides in Downtown’s Sam Houston Park.
In the pre-freeway period after World War II, this area remained largely wooded and undeveloped while suburban growth was exploding in every other direction of Houston. However, by the 1950s, residential development finally emerged in the area beginning with Timbergrove Manor, followed by Lazybrook. Timbergrove Manor was named for the many pine trees sheltering the area, while Lazybrook was named for White Oak Bayou, which forms the neighborhood’s eastern boundary.
