Home resale prices since January 2008 have generally ranged from the high $50’s to the $120’s, with an average sale price per square foot of about $48. Birnam Wood is surrounded by the neighboring subdivisions of Fairfax, Timber Lane, Villages of Spring Oaks, Forest Point at Cypresswood, Post Wood, and Sandpiper.

Birnam Wood is located in the Spring Independent School District. Residents are also located within either the Harris County MUD #43 or the Harris County MUD #136, which provide water and sewer service. Both MUD districts also provide trash service to their residents through WCA Waste Corporation.

Birnam Wood is a deed-restricted community; however, there are two different HOAs. The Birnam Wood Fairfax HOA is managed by Advanced Community Management Inc. (ACMI), and covers Sections 1, 2, and 7. An HOA web site is under development; until then, neighborhood deed restriction documents are available through the manager and through the Harris County deed records. The other HOA is Birnam Wood III CAI, which manages Sections 3, 4, & 5, as well as the subdivision of Villages of Spring Oaks, and offers online neighborhood documents, neighborhood news, events, and HOA contact information.

Neighborhood amenities include a wooded playground and park area, swimming pool, and tennis courts. There are area houses of worship in many denominations. Birnam Wood is convenient to all shopping areas, commercial and retail businesses in Old Town Spring and along the FM 1960 and North Freeway corridors.
