About Timbergrove:

TMNA was organized by property owners over 40 years ago to represent the needs and interests of the 400+ homes in the Timbergrove Manor community. With a diverse mixture of people from all walks of life, Timbergrove neighbors enjoy an open community situated in the Greater Heights area only ten minutes from downtown Houston. Our quaint corner hosts a natural feel with old growth trees and many water features near White Oak Bayou. Homeowners include those with original homes built in the 1950’s as well as many new homes built in the 2000’s through today.

We conduct numerous beautification and cleanup projects, maintain reasonable deed restrictions, sponsor seasonal neighborhood activities, and actively participate in many greater community events. Our biggest event is the Run the Grove 5K, which has been running since 2015. We hope you will enjoy running through our wood-lined neighborhood streets as much as we do!

Our Goals

    • Enrich the natural impact of TMNA & surrounding areas through Grow the Grove program
      This new initiative is dedicated to planting new trees, specifically live oaks, throughout the area for the greater community to enjoy through added beauty, shade, and greenspace.

 

    • Support conservation efforts at Lorraine Cherry Nature Preserve
      For years, TMNA has contributed to funding this designated wilderness area in order to help maintain and preserve the park, its trails, and its natural wildlife.

 

  • Donation to Love & Sinclair Elementary Schools
    This year, we have decided to pledge a percentage of net proceeds to benefit local zoned TMNA schools
