The Michael O’Neal Group · Yorkshire neighborhood guide
Want a big lot in 77079 with a 24 hour constable patrol and a neighborhood that still runs potlucks and a Polar Express night? Yorkshire has that. The catch is the price, and the association does not post its dues, so ask for them up front.

Five things you might not know
Houston has no zoning, so recorded deed restrictions control land use. The City Legal Department can sue to enforce restrictions on use, setbacks, lot size, the number and type of structures, orientation and permitted fences; its hotline is 832-393-6333.8
Houston's short-term rental ordinance took effect January 1, 2026. Any home rented for less than 30 consecutive days needs an annual City registration ($275), and the owner must state that the rental does not violate deed restrictions or other covenants.9
From January 1, 2027, the City says it will ask booking platforms to remove short-term rental listings that have no City registration certificate.10
Since 2018 Houston requires new homes, and existing homes enlarged by 33% or more, in the 100-year or 500-year floodplain to be built 2 feet above the floodplain level; existing homes were grandfathered. The rules took effect Sept. 1, 2018.11
Building, demolition and floodplain permits for these addresses come from the City's Houston Permitting Center, not a village. Its Project Planner lists the permits a project needs.12
Getting around
Main routes: Memorial Drive; HAR's recent sales are on Stoneleigh Drive and Ramblewood Road.151
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.
Neighborhood matchmaker
Compare Yorkshire with nearby neighborhoods in five questions. Matches use only HAR 2025 neighborhood figures, official tax rates and straight-line distances, never anything about who lives there.
Yorkshire market dashboard
HAR doesn’t publish monthly market-area figures for Yorkshire alone. HAR’s Memorial West and Memorial Villages market areas cover the neighborhoods around Yorkshire; we don’t claim Yorkshire 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.

An automated estimate is not an appraisal or a comparative market analysis. For a professional pricing review, ask Michael or request a home valuation.
No one can guarantee a buyer, a price or a timeline. What we control is how well your home is priced, presented and followed up.
Homeownership costs
The volunteer association collects annual dues by Zelle or check but does not post the amount. Ask the association for the current figure and a resale certificate.19

Before you move here

Michael’s Take · broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Yorkshire is about the lot. If you are buying to rebuild, read the deed restrictions and talk to the ACC before you close, because those rules shape the house you can put there. Ask the association for the dues amount early, and pull the flood maps for the specific lot, since the association itself points residents to the reservoir tools.
Schools
Use each district’s own lookup for the exact address.
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
The association links the Addicks Reservoir gauge and the Addicks and Barker reservoir flood maps. Check the exact lot on those and on FEMA's map.2122
FEMA's Map Service Center has the effective flood map for an address, and HCFCD's Flood Education Mapping Tool shows the floodway, 1% and 0.2% floodplains and ponding areas. MAAPnext draft maps are for awareness only and cannot be used for insurance or permits.22
The association links the Harris County Flood Control District's real-time Addicks Reservoir gauge and the Addicks and Barker reservoir flood maps. Check the exact address on those maps.21
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: Yorkshire is about the lot. If you are buying to rebuild, read the deed restrictions and talk to the ACC before you close, because those rules shape the house you can put there. Ask the association for the dues amount early, and pull the flood maps for the specific lot, since the association itself points residents to the reservoir tools.
Yorkshire vs. Nottingham Forest
Choose Nottingham Forest and you gain: Nottingham Forest's assessment includes club membership, and its HAR 2025 median market value is $920,000.
You give up: Its median lot is 9,085 square feet, much smaller than Yorkshire's 14,005.
Yorkshire vs. Wilchester
Choose Wilchester and you gain: Wilchester owners share a club with three pools and three tennis courts.
You give up: Wilchester's median lot is 9,605 square feet.
Yorkshire vs. Piney Point Village
Choose Piney Point Village and you gain: Piney Point Village has its own city government and the Memorial Villages Police Department.
You give up: Building there runs through the village's own permit and drainage rules.
It suits buyers who want a large lot in 77079, about 14,000 square feet at the HAR median, with a 24 hour contract constable patrol and an active neighborhood club. Prices are near the top of the area. Check the dues, the deed restrictions and the flood maps before you buy.

HAR’s neighborhood figures come from appraisal-district records. Asking prices and closed sales are different measures; for a specific home, request a pricing review.
Every home pays several taxing units. The rates below are the latest adopted rates we could verify; your bill depends on the appraised value, your exemptions and the exact units on the account. Look up the address on HCAD before you budget.
Order the resale certificate during your option period; it shows every association that bills the home, current assessments and transfer fees.
Rules below are summaries of the city’s or the association’s own pages and documents. Before you buy a home to remodel or rebuild, confirm the current rules and fees with the permit office named above.
School assignments and attendance boundaries can change. Confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before making a housing decision.
A neighborhood name never tells you a home’s flood risk. Check the address on the FEMA map and the Harris County tools, read the seller’s disclosure, ask for any elevation certificate and get a flood insurance quote during your option period.
The Yorkshire Civic Association posts its bylaws and deed restrictions and has an Architectural Control Committee for remodels and new homes. Read the restrictions before planning work and ask the association for the current dues and a resale certificate.
Look up the address on FEMA's Map Service Center and HCFCD's tool before you buy or plan a rebuild.
