Straight-line distance, not road miles. Traffic changes by the hour, so we don’t publish drive times; the route link opens Google Maps with current traffic, which is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Memorial Hollow market dashboard
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.

Before you move here
Want a Memorial-area lot inside the City of Houston and Spring Branch ISD? Memorial Hollow is a small, 1960s pocket where many lots are being rebuilt. Just know there's no published association site, so the rules come from the recorded documents.
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.
School assignments and attendance boundaries can change. Confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before making a housing decision. We don’t publish ratings or rankings.
Flood research
Rebuilds in a mapped floodplain need a city permit.12
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
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
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.

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.
Memorial Hollow vs. Memorial Meadows
Choose Memorial Meadows and you gain: An association with a published FAQ.
You give up: Memorial Hollow's smaller size.
Memorial Hollow vs. Memorial Close In
Choose Memorial Close In and you gain: More neighborhoods and price points to choose from.
You give up: Memorial Hollow's single small pocket.
It suits buyers who want a Memorial-area lot inside Houston in Spring Branch ISD, with a 2025 HAR median of $970,439. Plan on recorded deed restrictions and city floodplain rules for rebuilds.
