Briargrove is a neighborhood in Houston, Texas, United States, near Uptown Houston.
Briargrove was established in the 1950s with one-story ranch homes built in the 1950s and 1960s.[1] Deed restrictions in the neighborhood were modified in 1986 to allow for 1 1⁄2-story and two-story homes. Afterwards some of the older ranch homes were torn down and replaced with newer 2-story homes.[1]
