A broker-led guide to Memorial Valley real estate, current HAR property facts, neighborhood map, schools, property research and buying or selling in Houston.
Updated September 2026
At a glance
Memorial Valley, without the generic brochure talk.
Useful facts first. Then the details that actually matter when you are deciding whether to buy, sell or simply understand the neighborhood.
Memorial Valley is an established Houston neighborhood in ZIP code 77079. HAR’s 2025 facts report 72 single-family properties and a median market value of $837,632.
The neighborhood is presented with property-specific research rather than a generic citywide average. Lot size, condition, renovation level, location and nearby competing inventory can materially affect value.
Current market snapshot
What the recent numbers say.
HAR 2025 Memorial Valley facts; six-month Memorial West market context through August 2026. Updated September 2026. Market statistics can move quickly, so this page identifies the period being shown rather than presenting old numbers as current.
Monthly medians can move sharply when transaction counts are small. Use this as market context, not as a valuation of a specific property.
Source: HAR — Memorial Valley. Statistics shown are for the identified geographic market area and reporting period, not an appraisal of any individual property.
Homes & architecture
The house is only part of the value.
HAR reports a median home size of 2,465 square feet, median lot size of 10,515 square feet and median year built of 1961.
Buyers and sellers should separate original homes, substantial renovations and newer or replacement construction when comparing value; those property types can behave very differently even within the same neighborhood.
Location
Where Memorial Valley sits in Houston.
Memorial Valley sits in west Houston with access to major employment, retail and transportation corridors. The map on this page is intended to show the subdivision-area context, not replace a survey or legal description.
The chart uses the broader Memorial West market area for monthly trend context because neighborhood-only monthly sales can be too sparse to support a meaningful month-to-month comparison.

Schools
Verify the address, not the assumption.
Memorial Valley is within Spring Branch ISD. School assignment is address-specific.
Do not rely on a neighborhood page, listing portal or prior-year assignment to determine enrollment eligibility. Verify the exact property address directly with the district before purchasing or leasing.
Verify with the official school district ↗Taxes, restrictions & associations
Property-specific research matters here.
Property-tax obligations depend on the exact parcel, exemptions, assessed value and taxing jurisdictions. Verify the current appraisal record and tax statement for the specific property.
Deed restrictions, architectural controls and association obligations can vary by section or property. Review title documents, recorded restrictions and any applicable association records during due diligence.
Due diligence
Research before emotion takes over.
Review the survey, title commitment, seller disclosures, deed restrictions, permit history, tax records, insurance availability and FEMA flood information for the exact property.
Flood zones and insurance requirements are property-specific.
Check the official FEMA Flood Map Service Center ↗New construction
Yes, it belongs in the neighborhood conversation.
This is an established neighborhood rather than a production-builder subdivision. Renovation and replacement construction may still be part of the housing mix.
When comparing newer construction with existing homes, evaluate builder history, construction quality, drainage, restrictions, warranties, lot value and total ownership cost.
Considering Memorial Valley?
Start with the exact property characteristics that drive value: lot size, condition, renovation quality, age, location within the neighborhood and the closest comparable sales.
Use the broader market chart as context only. A property-specific comparison should rely on the most similar recent sales and active competition.
