Is Boulevard Oaks a subdivision? How is it different from Southampton?
No. Boulevard Oaks consists of 16 separate subdivisions. Boulevard Oaks was formed in 1980 when the prospect of heavy rail threatened to result in the condemnation of part of our neighborhood. It was decided that there was strength in numbers, and so various subdivisions banded together to fight a common foe. Other common interests were found, such as security, which resulted in the formation of the Southampton/Boulevard Oaks Patrol. In this regard Boulevard Oaks is fundamentally different from Southampton (Place), which was developed as, and is today, one large subdivision of over 600 homes bounded by Bissonnet, Ashby, Rice Blvd. and Greenbriar. The Southampton Civic Club oversees enforcement of the deed restrictions for the Southampton Place subdivsion.
