Nestled among tall, beautiful mature trees off Memorial between Gessner and West Belt, is a small, quaint subdivision called Memorial Pines. There are approximately 70 homes in Memorial Pines subdivision with homes built as early as 1955. The older homes give today's buyers the opportunity to update their home with personal taste. These older homes often have the old Houston floor plans reflecting the tastes of the homeowners of the 50's and 60's. These homes usually have a place for large formal living room and a smaller dining room. The buyer's today often time get creative with the old Houston floor plan by switching the dining and living room functions making way for a large dining room, and a small sitting room off the kitchen. This works well for many families today, however in order to serve guests in the dining room, a few extra steps through the formal living area need to be taken. New construction began appearing in 2003 when some of the older homes were torn down giving way to homes that reflect the new modern look and functionality. The lots in Memorial Pines are all over the average size of most subdivisions. The lots run from the smallest, 12,768 square feet, to an ample 29,300 square feet.
