Norhill Historic District was developed in the 1920s by Will Hogg, the developer of River Oaks, as a 'master planned community' for the working man's rich in artistic bungalows. In contrast to River Oaks, Norhill's modest homes, built by local contractors, were constructed from designs found mostly in plan books and catalogs popular during that period. Norhill's most distinctive feature is the park-like esplanades that divide Norhill Boulevard. Designated in 2000, Norhill Historic District is one of the city's largest historic districts.

“I've lived in Norhill and really believe it's the best neighborhood in Houston! Neighbors look out for each other and walk their children and dogs around the park and 2 esplanades. We have lots of neighborhood activities including monthly happy hours”
