One of our favorite places to view Christmas Lights in Northwest Houston is in the Prestonwood Forest subdivision. Known as the “Christmas Lights Neighborhood”, its continuation of a 30+ year tradition has become legendary.
Local newspapers and television stations, Southern Living, FOX News, and the Travel Channel have all written stories about or done programs on the Christmas lights adorning the Prestonwood Forest homes.
Just about every home in the Prestonwood Forest subdivision of 750 homes gets involved in the Nite of Lights event. With almost every block in the subdivision choosing a different holiday theme. One of the themes is based on “The Night Before Christmas” in which each home on the block displays a page of the story.
The subdivision hands out awards for “Best House”, “Best Block”, “Runner-up Block”, “Best Mailbox”, “Best Door”, and “Best Lamp Post”
Estimations are around 15,000 people drive through Prestonwood Forest and view the Christmas decorations and lights display during the Nite of Lites event. The 2008 Nite of Lites begins on December 13th and continues through January 3rd. The homes lights are on Monday – Friday 6 pm to 10 pm and Saturday – Sunday 6 pm to 11 pm. The Prestonwood Forest subdivision is located South of Cypresswood about 2 miles East of HWY 249.

This process was extremely difficult for me, as my father passed away last year. Jill listened to EVERY story I had, and there were a lot of them! She allowed me to share the memories of the house, which helped me prepare to let it go.
She is very knowledgeable in what to and what not to do in regards to getting the home ready to sell, what to tackle during the negotiation process and she made the closing extremely convenient. She was thoughtful enough to place the "sold" sign on the property a week in advance, to allow me time to process it all.
Paying constant attention to what is happening around your listing is one of JIll's many strengths. Her goal is to get you the most money for your property, and she has different strategies to that end result.
I not only gained a new realtor, but in JIll, I also gained a friend! I will be forever grateful for her through this tough process and I know my Dad would have loved her! "Thanks," will never be enough! read less
