ekarl17 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can you guys tell me why heavily wooded lots tend to have higher prices in the Katy Area and West Houston? For example..Williamsburg Settlement....Nottingham Country...Westfield....Memorial Area....River Oaks....The Woodlands? Why do buyers care so much about tree surrounding a house...espcially LOBLOLLY PINE TREES..ARE REALLY HOT IN THE REAL STATE MARKET...Thanks!

musicman Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 not sure if I would call those heavily wooded but trees definitely have a positive effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are they attractive but they lower energy costs and allow families to spend much more time outdoors. It's hard to meet the trend towards outdoor rooms without a good tree cover to shade the area and make it comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think neighborhoods without mature tress look barren and desolate....it gives me the creeps when I drive through 'em. On the other hand, I feel right at home in places like Garden Oaks and Garden Villas where there are nice big lots with tons of mature trees.

This 'outdoor rooms' trend, ugh, ugh, ugh. People clearly have run out of ways to consume conspicuously inside their homes, and now a patio, a grill, some nice landscaping and and some seating is no longer enough. Sorry, just have to vent a little.I have to laugh when I see those outdoor canopied beds, for people who want their backyard to look like the pool area at Mandalay Bay. In my neighborhood 'outdoor living' takes a slightly different form. Hey, old sofas and card tables, whatever works! Permanent christmas lights add a little ambience to the grill area.

Ross Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I would hate to see Timbergrove without the trees. Drive through tge hsection that's South of 11th between TC Jester and Durham, and you will understand the importance of the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbles Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Cause it takes 20 years to grow a good shade tree. I call the new neighborhoods with no trees Hot Boxes. My dogs don't want a yard with no shade and neither do I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
