Jesus Christ dude take a trip out of Louisiana every now and then. Those places are shitholes compared to several areas in Texas, Georgia and Florida.

eta and i seem to recall freaking WESTHEIMER runs right through the middle of it..probably the busiest non-interstate road in all of houston.
Westheimer is the border of river oaks at best. Nothing south of that really has any claim since it's off space in greenway or upper Kirby. Past Kirby is where montrose starts.
River oaks, the neighborhood, is pretty well contained from Sam Filipe to the bayou and the railroad to Shepard/Kirby

Some really nice places. Buckhead, Mountain Brook, Brentwood, Starkville, Tx has a ton, Charleston, etc. I am not sure you can single out one.

belle meade meets all that criteria you listed and it IS a city and the nicest neighborhood anywhere in the south.
Belle Meade is perfectly fine, but it's up against bigger contestants.
It probably wins the bracket that has Mountain Brook in it

Westlake is like 4 miles from downtown Austin and is literally separated by a small bridge from the area you described. As far as proximity to downtown area it's not different at all really from Park Cities or River Oaks.
This also needs to be mentioned with Belle Meade, which is basically an older version of The Woodlands. It is a good hike from Downtown Nashville
Say what you will about Houston traffic but river oaks a really quick trip to downtown.

you can walk out on your 2 acre lot in belle meade, breathe the fresh 80 degree air with low humidity then head to the largest park in any city this side of NYC or take a 45 minute trip to waterfalls.
in houston..you can leave river oaks, sit in ungodly traffic and sweat in the 101 degree 111% humidity and swear the concrete never ends as you try to find anything of value to do outdoors

One is Houston and one is Nashville. They're really not comparable when it comes to the top end of the wealth scale (though I'd definitely prefer Nashville overall).

just because houston is bigger resulting in more people with money doesn't mean that has a direct relationship with the 'nicest neighborhood'.
in fact, climate, crime, geography, acerage and quality of life have much more to do with it.
dont care how much money you have in houston, you won't be able to build a house with this type of view

So we are just going to pretend Nashville traffic isn't complete dogshit too? and that Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou park aren't literally connected to it River Oaks?

You leave River Oaks to the NE and its a park on the bayou for the next 3-4 miles until you reach downtown. I'll give it to you that the areas surrounding the 610 loop to the suburbs make everything look like a concrete stripmall, but inside the loop is very wooded with green space. Just look out a downtown highrise to the west and pay no mind when on the interstate.
River Oaks is nice, but doesn't have the charm of the Historic Heights area. Now the crime might be an issue, but like mentioned earlier, the upper-middle class might live a potatoe gun's launch from a crack-house in Houston.
