Houston is a vibrant, livable city with the best to offer in arts, culture, and recreation. It features a thriving economy which feeds off the number of large companies making their home here as well as the busy traffic at the Port of Houston on the Gulf of Mexico. Of the many great things that Houston has to offer, Tanglewood and Briargrove are set up with easy access to all. The location is considered ideal not just because of the serene setting, but because it manages to stay serene so close to everything else in Houston.

Tanglewood opened in the summer of 1949 and was named for the book Tanglewood Tales, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The developer came from a part of the country with hills, so he curved the streets and landscaped to create interest. Big lots, typically 1/4-acre to 3/4-acre, are in keeping with his plan for an upscale community. Residents often stroll along the trail at the Tanglewood Boulevard median, which is lined with live oaks and crape myrtles. Tanglewood has always been an extremely popular area because of its location in the heart of Galleria area, close to downtown and surrounded in part by Houston Country Club. Homes in Tanglewood and the surrounding area have become increasingly sought after in recent years as Houston's luxury housing market expands.
