Sherwood Forest is an established Houston residential neighborhood with HAR reporting 113 single-family properties and a 2025 median market value of $5,197,079.

HAR 2025 Sherwood Forest facts; broader Memorial Close In market context through 2026. Updated September 2026. Market statistics can move quickly, so this page identifies the period being shown rather than presenting old numbers as current.

HAR 2025 Sherwood Forest facts; broader Memorial Close In market context through 2026Monthly medians can move sharply when transaction counts are small. Use this as market context, not as a valuation of a specific property.
Source: HAR — Sherwood Forest. 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 8,881 square feet, median lot size of 56,192 square feet and median year built of 2001.
Buyers and sellers should separate original homes, substantial renovations, infill construction and newer replacement homes when comparing value; those property types can behave very differently even within the same neighborhood.
Location
Where Sherwood Forest sits in Houston.
Sherwood Forest is in Houston with access to major employment, retail and transportation corridors. The boundary map is intended to show neighborhood/subdivision context, not replace a survey or legal description.
The chart uses the broader Memorial Close In market for context because neighborhood-only monthly sales can be too sparse or volatile for a reliable month-to-month comparison.

Schools
Verify the address, not the assumption.
Sherwood Forest is within Spring Branch ISD. School assignment is address-specific.
Fitz & Co. school disclosure
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 school 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.
FEMA flood map
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.
Sherwood Forest is an established Houston neighborhood, but renovation, infill and replacement construction can 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 Sherwood Forest?
Start with the exact property characteristics that drive value: lot size, condition, renovation quality, age, street location 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.
Get Sherwood Forest help →Own a home in Sherwood Forest?
Position the property against the closest true competition rather than using a broad Houston average. Condition, lot, renovation quality and construction age can materially change buyer response.
Document improvements, major systems, permits and site characteristics clearly so buyers can understand how the property differs from nearby alternatives.
