Back HomeIn the early 1920s, Mike and Will Hogg, sons of a former governor of Texas, developed the community of River Oaks with their associate, Hugh Potter. Their company, River Oaks Corporation, started with the purchase of 200 acres of land four miles west of Houston on the south bank of Buffalo Bayou, surrounding the already flourishing River Oaks Country Club. Rigid building codes, deed restrictions, and centralized community control assured exclusivity, and approval of River Oaks real estate designs by an architectural panel was required by all purchasers looking to build. For these and other reasons, River Oaks became famous for impressive homes designed by some of the country’s foremost residential experts. Today, River Oaks is said to be among the most affluent communities in the Lone-Star State and features one of the wealthiest zip codes (77019) in America according to Forbes.
