Sign Auction

Own a Piece of Garden Oaks History

For more than 30 years, ten signs welcomed residents and visitors at the entrances to Garden Oaks. They’ve now been replaced with new signs built from more durable materials and featuring our updated branding. Five of the originals survived their decades of service, and they’re ready for new homes.

We’re auctioning all five, and anyone may bid: neighbors, former residents, local businesses, and anyone else who would like a piece of Garden Oaks history. Proceeds support Beautification, the Garden Oaks Gazette, and other neighborhood causes.

How it works

  • Bidding starts at $200, in $5 increments.
  • Online bids are accepted until 6 pm on Tuesday, December 1.
  • Bidding continues live that evening at the GOCC Annual Holiday Party in the back room at Heights Brewery. All Garden Oaks residents and owners are welcome.
  • When bidding closes, the top five bidders choose their signs in order, highest bid first.
  • You may bid more than once. Your most recent bid is the one that counts.
  • Follow Garden Oaks on Facebook and Instagram for updates on the bidding.

Winners will be contacted by email with payment instructions. If two bids are equal, the earlier bid wins. Signs are sold as-is and must be picked up by the winner.

Garden Oaks Location

Garden Oaks is located just north of the North Loop (610), bordered by Ella Blvd. to the west and Yale St. to the east.

Garden Oaks used to be one of Houston's best-kept secrets. Nestled among towering pines, large oaks, and grand magnolias, this quaint and architecturally unique neighborhood of approximately 1400 homes continues to attract attention.   Large lots, greenspaces, and our winding streets set us apart from other neighborhoods.  GO also has deed restrictions that help us maintain the spacious front and side setbacks.
