    "Most truly walkable neighborhood in Houston. excellent area for walking the dog with lots of trees, grass and dog parks nearby. if you're worried about car break-ins or people leaving the club at 2 am, look for a different area, but it doesn't bother me."

    "Probably not the best for kids. I would suggest finding another area to live if you have kids. Unless you have the money to purchase a house with a large yard here."

    "There are plenty of dog parks around here, Bagby Park, Glover Park, W. Webster, Midtown Park, etc. You won't have any problem walking the streets around here either as you see plenty of 🐕 owners everywhere. However, there are plenty of one-way streets and people don't always use caution. "

    "The park a three blocks away has 300 year old oak trees, so beautiful. We have get together everyday where we let our dogs socialize and there are always community events at this park, art sells, food booths, party atmosphere on weekends, etc. I love being able to walk to the Toyota Center from my house! And, Discovery Green! We ride bikes to the events and outdoor concerts. Urban living at its finest!"

    "It's walkable and what isn't walkable is a quick uber ride away. It's only 17 minutes to the Hobby Airport. It's 10 minutes from the galleria. Specs and HEB are within a mile. Awesome area! "

    "The restaurants and the night life make this a fun and upbeat neighborhood. It feels safe to walk in the evenings and everything you need is nearby and convenient. I never feel bored or lacking entertainment and it’s centrally located near all the major freeways! Mostly young 20s and 30s live in this area, but you’ll find a few young families and older couples."
