West Lane Place

West Lane Place in Houston can be described as an old “new” subdivision. Near Memorial and River Oaks, development began in West Lane Place in 1948. 

Several houses constructed during that era have since been replaced by new construction. West Lane Place is one of Houston’s most desirable communities. It is minutes from The Galleria area and downtown. 

Houston’s popular Galleria Mall is just west of West Lane Place. This architecturally tremendous mall is the country’s fourth largest shopping mall and houses 375 retailers, including Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co., Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and many more. The Galleria also includes a great ice skating rink and two Westin hotels. Visitors to the Galleria can choose from a wide range of cuisine offered by numerous eating establishments.

Adele B. Looscan Branch of the Houston Public Library serves West Lane Place residents well. The new facility is located near the upper Kirby YMCA and is over twice the size of the older library which once served West Lane Place, River Oaks, Afton Oaks, and the surrounding areas.
