Those seeking a refuge from the stresses of big-city life can find it in the peaceful community of Hedwig Village. With a population of just over 2,300 according to the 2000 US census, and a total land area of just 0.9 square miles, it is one of Harris County's smallest self-governed municipalities. Incorporated in 1954, Hedwig Village is one of Houston's six Memorial Villages, independent villages that formerly consisted of an area dominated by estates built by corporate executives seeking peace and quiet. When the city of Houston sought to annex the area, residents organized themselves into villages, complete with community services, in order to maintain their independence and avoid annexation. If you are interested in relocating to the area, a Houston-based realtor can help you find Hedwig Village homes for sale.
