Braeswood Place , a group of subdivisions, is a mainly single-family neighborhood inside the 610 Loop, east of the city of Bellaire, south of the cities of Southside Place and West University Place, west of the Texas Medical Center and the neighborhood of Old Braeswood, and north of the neighborhoods of Linkwood and Knollwood Village. Braeswood Place consists of approximately 2,200 homes and includes seven subdivisions: Ayrshire, Braes Heights, Braes Oaks, Braes Manor, Braes Terrace, Emerald Forest, and Southern Oaks. In 2008 the Houston Press named this area as the "best hidden neighborhood."
In the 1990s a group of community-minded residents spearheaded a grass-roots effort to purchase dilapidated apartments and commercial businesses in a four-block radius that were bringing down the value of the area. Hoping to rejuvenate a community they loved so much, the Stella Link Redevelopment Association (SLRA) emerged from their early efforts and further organized their fund-raising endeavors. SLRA was successful in its attempts and the apartments and commercial buildings were purchased and torn down. New deed restrictions were put into place, two streets were closed and the area was developed into a neighborhood asset. SLRA created a master plan for the area and worked with the City of Houston and other independent entities to turn the once-run-down blocks into a lushly landscaped backdrop for several new community activities. The facilities now located on the site include the McGovern-Stella Link Library (awarded Best Public Library in 2006 by the Houston Press), the Weekley Family YMCA, the national headquarters for The Sheltering Arms senior citizens facility, McGovern Park ball-fields, Helen’s Park and Beal Park.
