Memorial Hollow market dashboard

What the market around Memorial Hollow is doing.

HAR doesn’t publish monthly market-area figures for Memorial Hollow alone. HAR’s Memorial Close In and Spring Branch market areas cover the communities around Memorial Hollow; we don’t claim Memorial Hollow sits inside either one. These are HAR’s own monthly single-family figures, read Nov. 6, 2026; HAR’s market areas have their own boundaries, so read them as the bigger picture. HAR lists only months with three or more sales, so Memorial Close In skips months and its latest month is earlier.

Flood research

Flood research for a Memorial Hollow address.

Rebuilds in a mapped floodplain need a city permit.12

Research flood information for an address

  1. Background

    Check the address on official maps

    Look up the exact address on FEMA's Map Service Center (effective maps), HCFCD's Flood Education Mapping Tool (floodway, 1% and 0.2% floodplains, ponding) and the MAAPnext draft maps, which FEMA is using for new Harris County maps and which are for awareness only.13

  2. 2019

    Buffalo Bayou linear detention upstream

    HCFCD has been adding linear stormwater detention along Buffalo Bayou between State Highway 6 and the Sam Houston Tollway; Phase 1 on the south bank inside Terry Hershey Park, between Eldridge Parkway and Dairy Ashford, was scheduled to start construction in April 2019.14

  3. Background

    Buffalo Bayou watershed project list

    HCFCD's Buffalo Bayou project list includes a study of bridges and high-flow bypasses (CI-016), floodplain storage along the bayou (CI-017), Spring Branch rehabilitation (CI-018), a micro-detention feasibility study (CI-024) and a feasibility study of tributaries W151 and W153 (F-81). Check each page for current status.15

No map can say a property won’t flood. Check the official map, the seller’s disclosure, flood insurance and the elevation of the specific home. Michael is a broker, not a flood engineer or insurance agent.

Median closed sale price, recent closed sales, price per square foot, days on market and inventory for Memorial Hollow come from the MLS, and HAR’s public pages do not publish them by neighborhood, so we do not show them here. Ask for a current MLS report for the streets you are considering. Full sources are on the Memorial Hollow Fact Sheet.

Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above

My take: Memorial Hollow is a small, quiet pocket with Memorial prices and Spring Branch ISD. If you are rebuilding, I would start with the FEMA zone and the city's floodplain rules, then get the recorded deed restrictions before you design anything.
