"The commute is easy Metro transit near by. And yes 10 minutes away from downtown but traffic is really bad to travel freeway is less than five seconds away. Tuesday Thursday are any given day. The Train has roads blocked until it passes. So it will take30 minute are longer to travel downtown."

"Dangerous area to live in. Very poorly maintained. Although there is always cops, when called and needed they never show up. City of Houston also writes tickets for minor things and doesn’t comply with all other houses. "
