Keeping It Real with Michael O’Neal
Why Live in Fleetwood? The Good, The Bad & The Reality
Want the Memorial area at a lower price point, with Terry Hershey Park trails close by and the Energy Corridor's employers next door? Fleetwood is worth comparing, with a HAR 2025 median market value of $625,505. Just do serious flood research, because Buffalo Bayou forms the south edge of the Memorial super neighborhood and carried heavy Addicks and Barker releases in 2017.

Five Reasons People Love Living in Fleetwood
- 1A lower entry point for Memorial
HAR's 2025 facts for Fleetwood show a median market value of $625,505 and a value range of $357K to $753K, with a median home of 3,271 sq ft. Compare that with a $1,621,512 median in Hunters Creek.
- 2Bayou trails nearby
Fleetwood West's association points to Terry Hershey and George Bush parks. Terry Hershey Park covers 496 acres along about 6 miles of Buffalo Bayou with more than 11 miles of hike and bike trail.

- 3Inside the Energy Corridor
Fleetwood West's association places both neighborhoods inside the Houston Energy Corridor, where the district names employers such as bp, ConocoPhillips and Shell and counts more than 56,000 jobs.

- 4Park & Ride to downtown
METRO Route 228 runs weekdays from the Addicks Park & Ride at I-10 and State Highway 6 to downtown.
- 5Katy ISD, unlike most of Memorial
The Census geocoder places Fleetwood addresses in Katy ISD, and Fleetwood West's association lists Katy ISD campuses. Most of the Memorial area is Spring Branch ISD or Houston ISD, so confirm each address with Katy ISD.

Five Things You Should Know Before Moving to Fleetwood
- 1Bayou and reservoir flood research
Buffalo Bayou bounds the Memorial super neighborhood on the south and carries Addicks and Barker releases. During Hurricane Harvey the Corps began releasing 8,000 cubic feet per second on Aug. 28, 2017, rising to a combined 13,000 by Aug. 30. Check FEMA's and HCFCD's maps and ask for the elevation certificate and claims history.

- 2More than one association
Fleetwood has its own property owners association, Fleetwood West has another, and a Section Three replat has a townhome HOA. Fleetwood West's 2006 declaration set $360 a year and lets the board raise it up to 10% a year, and the current Fleetwood assessment is not published.
Fleetwood POA documents Fleetwood West restated declaration (2006) Texas HOA management certificate: Memorial Lake-Front Townhouses
- 3Rental and parking rules
Fleetwood's association posts rental property regulations and a 2021 parking and towing policy. Houston also requires a $275 yearly registration for rentals under 30 days, and the owner must state the rental does not violate deed restrictions.
Fleetwood POA documents City of Houston short-term rental ordinance
- 4Late 1970s houses
HAR's 2025 median year built is 1978, so roofs, windows, plumbing and HVAC on an original house deserve a close inspection.
- 5Alleys behind many homes
Many Fleetwood homes back onto alleys used as rear entrances, and the association asks owners to keep the alley behind their home planted or weeded. Homes on alleys put their trash out there.

Who Might Love Fleetwood?
- Buyers who want the Memorial area under the village price points
- Buyers who want Terry Hershey Park trails close by
- Buyers who want to be close to Energy Corridor offices and the Addicks Park & Ride
- Buyers who want Katy ISD with a Memorial-area address
Who Might Prefer Somewhere Else?
- If you want Spring Branch ISD and a neighborhood club, compare Nottingham Forest.
- If you want newer construction in the same part of town, look through the Energy Corridor, where Lakes of Parkway's HAR 2025 median year built is 2004.
- If you want village zoning and city services, the Memorial Villages are farther east at much higher price points.

Median closed sale price, recent closed sales, price per square foot, days on market and inventory for Fleetwood come from the MLS, and HAR’s public pages do not publish them by neighborhood, so we do not show them here.

Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Fleetwood is where the Memorial name meets Energy Corridor prices, and that is the appeal. Treat flood research as step one: elevation certificate, claims history and an insurance quote before you get attached. Then find out which association the house is in, get its resale certificate and read the rental rules, because Fleetwood and Fleetwood West are run separately.
Fleetwood vs. Nearby Neighborhoods
Fleetwood vs. Nottingham Forest
Choose Nottingham Forest and you gain: Spring Branch ISD, a neighborhood club with pools and lighted courts included in the assessment, and back-door trash pickup.
You give up: A HAR 2025 median market value of $920,000 against Fleetwood's $625,505, on a 9,085 sq ft median lot built around 1967.
Fleetwood vs. Energy Corridor
Choose Energy Corridor and you gain: A wider range of housing, from Lakeside Place (1977) to Lakes of Parkway (2004 median year built), plus 21 apartment and townhome communities.
You give up: School districts and even city taxes change by street, and some addresses outside Houston carry MUD and ESD 48 taxes.
Questions buyers ask about Fleetwood
Is Fleetwood a good place to live?
It suits buyers who want the Memorial area at a HAR 2025 median of $625,505, with Terry Hershey Park, Energy Corridor employers and the Addicks Park & Ride nearby, and Katy ISD (confirm each address with the district). It is inside the City of Houston. Do full flood research, identify the association and read its rental rules before you buy.

What are the downsides of living in Fleetwood?
Buffalo Bayou forms the south edge of the Memorial super neighborhood and carried large Addicks and Barker releases in 2017, so flood research comes first. There are several associations with different rules and the current Fleetwood assessment is not published, and the 1978 median year built means older systems.
