The
Braeswood Civic Club was first established in 1939 to enforce the deed
restrictions for the Braeswood Addition as well as to improve and beautify
the area for the enjoyment of area residents.
In 1982, "Old Braeswood” was registered as a trademark and
logo to differentiate our residential neighborhood from the surrounding
areas along Braes Bayou, which had become known as "Braeswood".
Old
Braeswood sections and blocks
The
current area served by the Old Braeswood POA consists of 314
private residences; Braeswood Park, property of the City of Houston Parks
and Recreation Department; and two traffic triangles owned by the City
Traffic and Transportation Department.
Old
Braeswood is a unique residential neighborhood characterized by large lots
and sweeping lawns, huge trees, and a distinct architectural diversity
that ranges from stately Tutor homes to architecturally significant
Ranches.
The
Old Braeswood POA has been active during recent years to assure
that the unique character of our neighborhood continues. For this reason, the Old Braeswood POA discourages the
subdividing of large, multi-lot properties into component lots that
results in a dense concentration of construction with only minimum free
space. Area development that
retains the integrity of the neighborhood will always be encouraged.

of the neighborhood.
