It's been fixed... Can you fix the rest of it?

6/19/2008 8:16:59 PM -07:00

Wurzbach stretches from Ingram all the way to what becomes Wurzbach Parkway. The parts that I usually drive though stretch from I-10 to what becomes Ingram. Between Bandera Road and Babcock there were several pot holes. Luckily most of the stretch has been fixed, but it would be nice if they coul...

1604 to downtown

6/19/2008 8:07:42 PM -07:00

This road varies as you drive it from beginning to end. At one end you have very new homes and shopping centers being built. On the other end you have several businesses closing, pot holes, and crime. It’s amazing how driving down one street you can see how much change there is. Careful for the ...

Nice homes, great shopping, but growing fast traffic-wise

6/18/2008 7:53:48 PM -07:00

I am on Stone Oak Parkway often because that is where my home building company builds most of our homes. The homes there are all very nice, the shopping and medical care are excellent (a Baptist Hospital branch is actually on Stone Oak Parkway), and the street offers easy, straight access to Highway...

Not the greatest street ever

6/18/2008 7:50:54 PM -07:00

Harry Wurzbach is a conglomeration of road construction, heavy traffic, and very, very shady commercial and residential districts. I try to avoid it as often as possible – generally the only reason I travel on Harry Wurzbach is to get quickly from Terrell Hills to Highway 410. Otherwise, I try to av...

Nice homes, great amenities

6/18/2008 7:47:46 PM -07:00

Burr Road exists on the Southern edge of Terrell Hills, a “subcity” of San Antonio Texas. On the North side of Burr you can find nice middle-upper-class living with pretty homes. Most of the South side is taken up by the San Antonio Country Club, which is gorgeous to see off of your front yard. The ...

A street with a little bit of everything

6/18/2008 7:42:18 PM -07:00

North New Braunfels spans from Highway 410 (to the North) to Fort Sam Houston (to the South), passing through Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills.

Quiet upper-class living

6/18/2008 7:38:33 PM -07:00

Eldon Road is one of the two main thoroughfares of the San Antonio “subcity” of Terrell Hills. Because the street is composed entirely of upper-class housing, and set in a small city full of upper-class homes, the street is very easy on the eyes, very easy on traffic, quite friendly, and extremely s...

A little bit of everything, and a lot of traffic

6/18/2008 7:35:49 PM -07:00

Blanco Road is one of the longest roads in San Antonio. Some parts of it are less than pleasant (mostly to the South), with low-rent commercial districts and even lower-rent housing, although as you go further North, the appearance and climate gets better. The street itself is not in the best condit...

Transcending two of San Antonio's finest "subcities"

6/18/2008 7:32:10 PM -07:00

Grandview Place runs East to West, starting on Broadway Street in Alamo Heights to the East and dead-ending just past Eldon Road in Terrell Hills to the West. The road itself is not in the greatest condition, but it’s unlikely that you’ll damage a wheel or your alignment from hitting a pothole. Home...

Shopping, nightlife, restaurants, parks, and great education

6/18/2008 7:27:49 PM -07:00

Broadway is one of San Antonio’s main thoroughfares and hosts the prestigious Alamo Heights High School as well as Incarnate Word University.

Budding upper-end community with slight construction traffic

6/18/2008 7:22:43 PM -07:00

Clementson Drive is the main road for the new Clementson Ranch subdivision, north of Highway 1604. The subdivision itself is about 75% “built out”, meaning that the appearance of construction vehicles is still rather frequent on the road. However, homes on Clementson drive retail for between $300,00...

Quiet, neighborly, "exclusive" street

6/18/2008 7:17:07 PM -07:00

Garraty Road is one of the main streets in the small “city” of Terrell Hills, Texas, which lies completely inside the San Antonio city limits. Though Garraty is a main thoroughfare, Terrell Hills itself sports under 5,000 residents, all upper-middle to upper-class, and the police force is excellent ...

The road needs to be fixed!!!

6/18/2008 11:03:06 AM -07:00

I drive to and from school and work on this worad and it is such a mess. My shocks and tires on my car are getting so bad from driving on this road daily. There's no other way to get home then through this way unless I plan on skyrocketing my gas bill by taking the highway which is about 15 miles ...

Newly built area with lots of neighbors some willing to talk and welcome you

6/18/2008 10:58:11 AM -07:00

My street is in a big comotion right now considering the area is newly built and houses are going up like crazy. Once all the building is done it will be a lovely neighborhood.

Busy Street, a lot of traffic

6/16/2008 8:46:13 AM -07:00

Blanco is a VERY busy street in San Antonio and, unfortunately, as it crosses Huebner, it goes from 4 lanes to 2, making it even busier. It has many good resturants and grocery shopping (a new Super HEB has just been upgraded on Blanco and 1604) and it will ultimately take you out to the National P...

Nice Area, but growing quickly and experiencing some traffic issues

6/16/2008 8:39:53 AM -07:00

Stone Oak Parkway used to be a small road on the North side of town. Now, that area has exploded and Stone Oak has seen a lot of construction in the last few years. It is nicely situated and has MANY new residential areas as well as medical (North Central Baptist Hospital), shopping and resturants...

Nice, Upscale Area

6/16/2008 8:33:48 AM -07:00

Broadway street is in a nice, but expensive, part of town. It has many residential areas and some commercial ones; there is a nice park and it borders the San Antonio Zoo. It also has the added bonus of being close to down town without actually living there and traffic is moderate. This area is c...

Six Flags & Shopping, What more could you ask for!?

6/16/2008 8:22:13 AM -07:00

La Cantera Parkway is right in the middle of things. Apart from Six Flags, it also has the outdoor shopping mall (aptly named La Cantera). It is close to the freeway, so it is easy to access VERY close to a new movie theater and resturants. This street is busy and wouldn't be a good place to live...

Great Street for Tourists

6/16/2008 8:17:38 AM -07:00

This street is right in the heart of San Antonio and is ALWAYS busy. It is close to the River Walk and you always have tourists visiting the Alamo, or just wandering around.

Street on a small lake

North Josephine Tobin Drive in San Antonio borders Woodlawn Lake Park, the main feature of which is Woodlawn Lake. Houses on this street mostly overlook the lake, so they have a nice view.

Busy Street, but it will get you where you are going

6/16/2008 7:31:28 AM -07:00

Huebner (pronounced 'Hebner) road is a busy road that will take you from the north area of San Antonio clear down to the Medical School. There are MANY shops and resturants along the way and, during rush hour, is a good alternative to using 1604. However, as San Antonio continues to grow, the traf...

Good Neighborhood, but cars drive fast

Camino Ridge is the main street in the gated community 'The Hills of Sonterra'. The community is has many nice people and there are MANY families that live there, making it a nice place for children to meet friends.

This Street is a Mess

6/15/2008 6:12:52 PM -07:00

Try to take an alternate route from this street if you can. Sometimes the road is torn up from construction and sometimes it gets flooded (which causes more construction). Although it seems like a convenient through street, it's usually better to take an alternate route. The neighborhoods in this ar...

The Good, the Bad, and the Road Construction

6/15/2008 6:03:09 PM -07:00

The north part of San Pedro is by 410 and the San Antonio Airport, but it is absolutely horrible with road construction. Plus, getting on and off of 281 from San Antonio can be confusing. The construction has been going on as long as I can remember and it never seems to get finished. North Star Mall...

Something Fun for Everyone

6/15/2008 5:56:49 PM -07:00

Golf for dad, shopping for mom, and a Six-Flags themepark for the whole family. What more can you ask for?

The Historic Heart of Downtown

6/15/2008 5:51:08 PM -07:00

Not my favorite part of town, but it has gotten better

6/15/2008 5:44:27 PM -07:00

Although it has been built up a lot, there are still a lot of little neighborhoods off of Culebra that I would be scared to go to after dark. There is a lot of shopping there now, but I generally don't like to be in this area because I have trouble getting around. Although it has easy access to the ...

Very solid little middle class street

6/15/2008 5:38:23 PM -07:00

Thousand Oaks is a good through-road from I-35 to Hwy 281. It has a public library, lots of decent apartment complexes, grocery stores, and lots of decent (but not upscale) little restaurants. There are also some schools convenient to parts of Thousand Oaks, and two post offices are close by. The ro...

A very hip place to be - if you can afford it

6/15/2008 5:30:36 PM -07:00

This is an upscale part of town, but very cute! Lots of little shops and restaurants, and cute older renovated houses. Very close to downtown without being swallowed by downtown. You'll find Central Market for gourmet organic groceries and you are close to the Quarry shopping center, which has a mov...

Up-and-coming suburb with lots of amenities

6/15/2008 5:25:48 PM -07:00

Small town in the big city!

6/15/2008 5:21:13 PM -07:00

Wetmore Road is what remains of the little town of Wetmore, Texas. It is now totally a part of San Antonio, but I still thinks its very interesting.

Countour drive: for old rich folks and bicyclists

6/15/2008 9:47:45 AM -07:00

The speed limit on most of Contour Drive is 20 mph, and it is in fact so serpentine that it's difficult to go much faster. Contour drive winds from McCullough through to Hildebrand through Olmos Park, an old money enclave close to downtown-- past some really fancy houses including some gated Georgia...

McCullough in San Antonio and Olmos Park

6/15/2008 9:42:42 AM -07:00

.McCullough goes from Bonham street downtown to the airport just north of the loop, passing through the semi-gentrified Old Main neighborhood east of SAC(San Antonio College) through part of upscale Olmos Park, where you'll find the Olmos drugstore on McCullough and Hildebrand, which has been there ...

San Pedro, San Antonio's main street

6/15/2008 9:38:26 AM -07:00

San Pedro is probably San Antonio's main street, wide and mostly well-lit, the home of tons of businesses including restaurants and auto dealerships, and San Antonio College, the main junior college just north of downtown.

Blanco Road in SA

6/15/2008 9:35:18 AM -07:00

Blanco Road is over 20 miles long. No, really- but that's if you count the stretch that goes outside of city limits. It goes south all the way to downtown, then north past the loop where it becomes. TX Highway 2696. Chris Madrid's, “home of the macho-burger”, is located on Blanco, a couple of blocks...

Broadway, home of Incarnate Word etc

6/15/2008 9:27:08 AM -07:00

Broadway is a big road, as the name suggests, that runs North-South. The original Earl Abel's restaurant used to be located at the corner of Hildebrand and Broadway, across from Incarnate Word College, now pompously known at The University of The Incarnate Word. But sadly, Earl Abel's is no more, th...

Jackson Keller Road

6/15/2008 9:24:32 AM -07:00

Jackson Keller runs Southeast-to Northwest, starting at McCullough and heading NW through primarily residential neighborhoods until it crosses Loop 410 then curves left to intersect the similarly named Vance Jackson, which undoubtedly confuses people from out of town, at least once in a while. One w...

Culebra Road on the West Side

6/15/2008 9:22:11 AM -07:00

Culebra doesn't wind nearly as much as its name implies(it means “snake” in Spanish), but it does pass by Saint Mary's University(home of the Rattlers) and the Southwest Research Institute, as well as a bunch of used car dealerships and Mexican restaurants. The portion close to the University is beg...

Fredricksburg Road in NW SA

6/15/2008 9:19:54 AM -07:00

Fredricksburg Road is known to locals as Fred Road, even though they don't say San Antone.(That's just in the movies.) On the southern end of Fred Road there are lots of apartment buildings, Motels, and used car lots, as well as the inevitable Mexican restaurants. Farther north Fredricksburg passes ...

Babcock Road in NW SA

6/15/2008 9:16:19 AM -07:00

Babcock Road is in the Northwest side of town, and in driving it you mostly passes quickly through residential neighborhoods and some office complexes, until it becomes De Zavala Road, at which point you know you went too far if you meant to stay on Babcock and go towards the many gated apartment c...

Loop Around the City

6/13/2008 12:41:40 PM -07:00

Interstate 410 is the loop that goes around the outer part of San Antonio. This is a great bypass for those who do not want to drive directly through the city or those who don't have business in downtown. The road can get very congested especially if there is an accident. The road is in decent condi...

Small, Short Street

6/13/2008 12:36:55 PM -07:00

First Street in San Antonio is just a small and very short street that goes from Jessup Road to Hood Street. All it is, is a connector road between the two. The road itself is a little rough but drivable. This area of San Antonio is very rural. There are many residences and the streets are kept fair...

Small side street

6/13/2008 11:22:43 AM -07:00

Second Street is part of a more residential/rural area than most of San Antonio. It was a nice road to take a ride down to see more rural parts of the area. The road was a little bumpy but there was no traffic. It is really a nice, peaceful place to go take a ride.

Road that is very congested.

6/13/2008 11:18:13 AM -07:00

West Avenue takes you from North to South through San Antonio. There are many things off this road including residential and business. I didn't like driving it though because it is congested. There are so many roads that come into it that traffic is really stop and go. With all the side streets you ...

Road with lots of things to do!

6/13/2008 11:13:57 AM -07:00

This is a great road! It is a four lane that will take you to many places within San Antonio. My favorite though is a great pizza shop called Big Lou's. It really looks like a hole in the wall restaurant but they have the best pizza ever! The traffic can get heavy but usually is fairly decent.

Just your typical interstate

6/13/2008 11:05:51 AM -07:00

I-10 coming into San Antonio on the west side merges with 35. This is really the average interstate that needs work improving the pot holes and bumps but yet there seems to be construction going on all the time. The traffic gets really bad where it merges and can be horrific at rush hour. Overall th...

Great road and a must see!

6/13/2008 11:01:18 AM -07:00

Roosevelt Avenue is a great road that is in good shape. The traffic can be congested at times but not too unbearable. The main attraction here is the historical museum. You can go and spend the day and learn all the history where these original missions took place. This is a great place to go if you...

Peaceful Place with Beautiful Cathedral

6/13/2008 10:57:49 AM -07:00

While visiting San Antonio I drove West Main Plaza to go visit the beautiful San Fernando Cathedral. There is so much history behind the cathedral that it is absolutely amazing.

Great Place to Take the Kids!

6/13/2008 10:46:30 AM -07:00

Sea World Drive is where the famous Sea World San Antonio is located. The street is in great shape but the traffic is horrific because there are so many visitors.

Your typical travel road

6/13/2008 10:42:37 AM -07:00

East Commerce Street begins when you exit of I-10 and travels all the way through San Antonio to the west side where it runs into Military Road. I used this road a lot while visiting because it takes you right through the city and you can use it to access a lot of San Antonio. The road itself is in ...

Good place for singles

6/10/2008 1:16:26 PM -07:00

Not kid friendly, lots of traffic and very party oriented. Good place to meet anyone under the age of 30.

A very small town

6/9/2008 10:38:32 AM -07:00

I lived in Austin for several years and all i ever heard was...Austin is the greatest place to live. Well, if you are thinking of moving to or visiting, save your money. I hated the place. It is over priced, no real variety when it comes to things to do. If you like being around a bunch of unru...

A Wonderful place to live - Very Family Oriented!

6/9/2008 10:33:26 AM -07:00

Marion is a very small town in central Texas. But for a small town, the spirit is VERY high.

It is a peaceful and quiet town where everyone tends to know you...

Perfect location for families and couples.

6/7/2008 2:53:42 PM -07:00

Oaklawn Avenue and its neighborhood

6/2/2008 5:19:27 PM -07:00

Oaklawn(Avenue): it’s a little rump of a road compared to Preston, but possibly better known for the adjoining neighborhood that bears the same name, mostly around the intersection with Lemmon Avenue. Oaklawn is rapidly becoming gentrified, with independent bookstores and cafes popping up seemingly ...

Preston Road (North Dallas)

6/2/2008 5:15:17 PM -07:00

Preston road goes all the way from north of the loop(LBJ-635) to downtown, where it becomes Oaklawn, but most Dallasites think of Preston as a street in North Dallas because of Valley View Mall’s location, on Preston and LBJ, as well as because of the Prestonwood Country Club just a bit farther nort...

Come to Denton, stay a while, have some corn-kits

6/6/2008 10:34:11 PM -07:00

Denton is a college town about 35 miles north of Dallas and Forth Worth. The town is centered around the two schools, the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University, with student bodies of around 30,000 and 12,000 respectively.

(back in the early 90s TWU became officially co-educat...

Harry Hines Boulevard

6/2/2008 5:42:29 PM -07:00

. Harry Hines Blvd is colloquially referred to by some as a prostitution haven, but I suspect this is exaggerated by locals. It is the home of UT Southwestern medical school and Parkland Hospital, which is where they took Kennedy after he was shot. Maybe hookers lost his brain. Seriously though,alth...

Go see Bachman Lake

6/2/2008 5:39:48 PM -07:00

Northwest Highway is also known as Loop 12, although nobody in Dallas calls it that(also, it's not actually a loop, which may have something to do with it.) On the west side of NW Highway is Bachman Lake, which is a really lovely spot. You can walk or jog the entire perimeter of it to get some sceni...

Webb Chapel road

6/2/2008 5:36:37 PM -07:00

Webb Chapel goes North-South, and it's a little rough on the south side("webb chapel extension") around the three thousand block, where there are row after row of apartment complexes. On the northside around the intersection with LBJ you'll find “Two Guys From Italy” one of Dallas's best affordable ...

.Royal Lane near I-35

6/2/2008 5:33:19 PM -07:00

.Royal Lane near I-35 is mostly not much to look at, but it has a lot of computer wholesalers and other IT businesses , as well a lot of interesting hole-in-the wall Chinese restaurants. Much of Royal on the west side near the Bush turnpike is still undeveloped, until you get to Hackberry Country Cl...

Young Street is a good street to know

6/2/2008 5:30:36 PM -07:00

Young Street is a good street to know if you want to go downtown, because it has a lot of day parking lots, as well as the Dallas Public Library and the oddly shaped city hall just across from it. Also, if you get hungry for inexpensive fare, Young St has a McDonald's and a Subway!

Yes, Dallas has a Lovers Lane

6/2/2008 5:27:59 PM -07:00

Yes, Dallas has a Lover's Lane, er, Lovers Lane. Its best known intersection is Inwood and Lovers, where you'll find the historic Inwood theater( including the swanky art-deco Inwood bar inside the lobby), which has been an Art House theater for at least 25 years now. There's also a great Turkish re...

Mockingbird Lane-Dallas's real main street

6/2/2008 5:25:06 PM -07:00

Mockingbird Lane is probably the premier “main drag” running through midtown Dallas, and a veritable restaurant row. Lemmon Avenue, which intersects Mockingbird across from Love Field, is probably a close second, but Mockingbird has more restaurants and hotels and motels, and it passes through the D...

Lemmon Avenue- (a) main street for mid-town Dallas

6/2/2008 5:22:15 PM -07:00

Dallas has a Main Street, but Lemmon Avenue, possibly tied with Mockingbird Lane, probably has more of a claim to being Dallas’s “main drag” far more than Main Street proper does. The downtown section includes a lot of older, medium-sized businesses, mixed in with newer ones that represent a part o...

Very busy and popular street in Dallas

5/31/2008 4:18:05 PM -07:00

This street is a very long street that goes through a lot of the cities in the DFW area. But the main section of this street is in Addison. This 4-5 miles stretch of Belt Line in Addison is filled with restaurants, bars and clubs.

There are restaurants like Hooters, Chili's and Denny's but there...

Good road connecting West and East Carrollton

5/31/2008 4:09:56 PM -07:00

This street is a pretty decent and clean street to drive on. There are green trees and green grasses on both sides of the street and in the median. The road condition is pretty good as well as they have recently finished contruction on it.

The street is mainly in Carrollton but it can lead out t...

Very busy stretch of street.

5/31/2008 4:01:18 PM -07:00

I work on this stretch of street and it's very busy during the day. It's not busy enough where you'll be sitting in traffic waiting 10 minutes for a light, but enough to have to wait for at least 2 rounds of lights.
This street is mainly commercial as there are tons of shops and restaurants. This s...

Good on north, bad on south.

5/30/2008 3:37:17 PM -07:00

I used to take Belt Line to Montford to work for 6 months so I drive on Montford at least 5 times a week. There is a big difference in its road condition and looks as you drive from Addison into Dallas.

The street is very decent and clean looking when it's on the Addison side as there are shops ...

Nice and quiet street to live on.

5/30/2008 3:18:29 PM -07:00

My uncle used to live here and even though the street isn't the cleanest or newest, it does look pretty decent for its age. The houses on this street, like all the houses in the neighborhood are from the 1970's so it's showing its age. But beause it's old, there are lush green trees and brushes ever...

Party Street of Dallas!

5/30/2008 2:40:51 PM -07:00

Like the previous reviewer stated, this street is mainly for young people to hang out on weekends. I used to frequent this part of town a lot because there are just so much to do.

I would suggest not driving there because parking is a pain in the butt and a lot of people park in front of houses ...

Quiet street in a buzzing area

5/30/2008 2:26:14 PM -07:00

I used to live at the Douglas Park Apartment Complex about 10 years ago and I really miss living there. The street itself isn't the prettiest or the most active, but the streets surrounding it like Lemmon Ave and Cedar Springs are packed with party goers and fun seekers every weekend. About 10-15 ye...

Very quiet street to raise a family

5/29/2008 11:54:51 PM -07:00

I've been living on this street for 6 years and have not had any bad experiences on it. This street is located in the "Indian Creek" neighborhood and is close to a lot of retail places in the area.

At all times of the day, the street is very quiet and peaceful. The street is very clean because t...

Busy street with lots of retail options

5/29/2008 11:41:56 PM -07:00

W Hebron Parkway is very nice and peaceful with a lot of commercial and residential buildings under development. There are neighborhoods like Moore's Farm and Castle Hill that's located on this street. These neighborhoods' average house prices are around $500,000. There are a lot of commercial build...

A busy street that's very nice and quiet

5/29/2008 11:28:19 PM -07:00

I live at the intersection of Josey and Hebron and I love the area. During traffic hours, the streets can get crowded but it doesn't take up much time. This northern part of Josey Lane has a lot of shopping centers, restaurants and banks but it's not very pedestrian friendly as not all parts of it h...

ideal for families

5/28/2008 11:05:01 PM -07:00

this street is ideal for those with families as it is away from the heavy noise and traffic of the city. You can feel safe when your children are outside playing because there are not too many cars that go up and down the street and they generally keep to the speed limit as a courtesy to the residen...

A good place to get some sleep

5/28/2008 11:00:14 PM -07:00

This street is nice, and the homes are really nice. It is a great place to be if you have had enough of the real city life and you just want to relax and have some peace and quiet. However, it is very boring here and unless you have a lot of things at home to sustain yourself, or you just don't care...

Takes you anywhere you want to go

5/28/2008 10:55:18 PM -07:00

If you are looking to go anywhere in Dallas, this is the street you may want to take. And it is fairly decent, and at times can be an enjoyable ride. That is unless you come on the wrong time, and if you do, you'd probably get to your destination faster by walking as this road can go from clear to b...

Great street to visit

5/28/2008 10:40:11 PM -07:00

This is an amazing place to come, and there is something for everyone. They have a mall that is really nice, and I'd say one of the best you could expect to find in any state. Best of all is that aside from the shops you expect to find in malls, This mall has really high end shops where you can find...

Surprisingly very nice

5/28/2008 10:30:16 PM -07:00

Most places with apartment complexes are not considered to be areas where people want to live just for the traffic and the fact that people move in and out frequently and you never know who you have in your neighborhood. This is an exception becuase there are many long term residents and they are al...

Fun for the family

5/28/2008 10:19:09 PM -07:00

Most places you go, you either find something for yourself, or your kids, but it is hard to find a place that has fun for the whole family, This street has things that attract all people, young, old, male, female and you don't have to have a ton of money to enjoy what this street has to offer.

More nature in Dallas

5/28/2008 10:04:33 PM -07:00

this is a street that people who love being outdoors but don't want to live a hundred miles from the city should live. It is so peaceful and beautiful and is really a great place to raise children. there is a lot to do if you have an imagination and a love for being outdoors, instead of locked up in...

A bit of nature

5/28/2008 10:00:26 PM -07:00

Living here, you would forget that you are in dallas and think you are in a forrest or something. This place is so beautiful and for what you get, prices for homes is reasonable. This is ideal for families as there is so many things you can do outdoors. It is safe, neighborly, and it is just overall...

decent but average

5/28/2008 9:56:54 PM -07:00

This street is an ok street with a little bit of shopping. You wont find much originality here because the shopping is inside of a mall, and the stores and places to eat are standard in pretty much all malls in America. It is a way to beat the heat, but I don't recommend it if you want a feel for wh...

a fun little street

5/28/2008 9:53:36 PM -07:00

at times this street can seem boring and kind of plain. There aren't bars and nightclubs all over the place, and the people who frequent this area seem quite tame. That is the best part of it though. it is a great street without all of the madness. Best of all, they have a farmer's market that you c...

Nice street, and it is growing

5/28/2008 7:50:46 PM -07:00

This area is no exception to the whole revamp that many cities in America are going through. They start out as nice areas, turning into not so nice areas, but now the trend is that the people who escaped to the suburbs around fifteen to twenty years ago are reclaiming their cities.
If you are a rec...

another family friendly street

5/28/2008 7:47:00 PM -07:00

This street is great for families of all kinds. Those with young kids are a growing population, but there is still a good number of those with kids the age of the parents that are now moving into this great neighborhood. It is nice because the older people act as grandparents and parents to the new ...

Suburban living with city access

5/28/2008 7:40:03 PM -07:00

This is ideal for people who want to have the comfort and safety of living in a friendly, family oriented community, but don't want to be too far from where all the action is. Everyone is friendly and most people here are very accepting once they get to know you. it is good because they always keep ...

Pricey, but not so friendly

5/28/2008 7:35:43 PM -07:00

If you love beautiful homes, kept lawns, and shiny cars, you will love this street. Here, you can see some really great places and it is almost like a field trip coming out here. If you like to socialize and enjoy being around warm, friendly people. You probably should just keep both hands and feet ...

Family oriented, but single friendly

5/28/2008 7:26:35 PM -07:00

Usually, you have to find a neighborhood that is good for singles if you are single. If you have a family, that single friendly neighborhood is generally not as appealing. Very rarely do you have a neighborhood that is appealing to both singles and those with families. This is one of those rare stre...

original and entertaining

5/28/2008 7:09:10 PM -07:00

This street is simply amazing, and if you are looking for fun, you have got to come here. I'll admit, you are not going to find much if your idea of a good time is drinking beers and walking around aimlessly. This street has some of the most unique entertainment and it caters to a more sophisticated...

Nice for a more established person

5/28/2008 7:02:46 PM -07:00

This street is nice. It has all the things you could want from life. That is, if you are out of the party phase and are settle in a career, and have a family. This is a great place to raise children, and you never have to worry about strangers. That is because it seems like there is always someone o...

Great area with a bad rap

5/28/2008 6:57:58 PM -07:00

Despite what you may have heard about this street and area, it is one of the nicest, and well kept streets in Houston. There isn't a whole lot to do, but what they do have is culture and great places to eat. It is family friendly and best of all, there isn't as much noise as you would expect from a ...

Quiet, and nice for young people

5/28/2008 6:53:15 PM -07:00

This is a great place to be if you are young. That is because it is nearby one of the best colleges in the state. There is never enough time to meet all of the wonderful, interesting people that are usually involved in some way with the school. The best thing about it is that it is not like most col...

A little bit goes a long way

5/28/2008 6:49:07 PM -07:00

When it comes to this street, a little bit goes a long way. It is great for young people who live the hustle and noise of the city and who love to party. If you are looking for great food at a reasonable price, come to this street. If you are looking for drinks, although I don't recommend asking for...

You Must Go!

5/27/2008 3:26:57 PM -07:00

Located on Dallas Parkway is the Galleria Mall. There are some of the greatest stores here including Versace. Also there is this HUGE indoor ice skating rink that you must see. Everything about this place is a must. The shopping is great, food wonderful, and ice skating is so much fun. They offer in...

Good Road to Take Through Dallas

5/27/2008 3:20:24 PM -07:00

Interstate 45 is a great road to take from south Dallas up to 75 which continues to North Texas. The road is in decent shape. Traffic can be outrageous if you are on 45 at the wrong times of the day. There are also a lot of exits as you are going through the city that you can take to access a lot th...

Pretty rough road!

5/27/2008 3:15:54 PM -07:00

Marilla Street is a rough road. It has a lot businesses located on it. It also has a lot of patch work done to the pavement so no part of it is level with the rest which makes for a rough, bumpy ride. It has great sidewalks though which you could enjoy and lots of pretty trees lining the road and si...

Dallas Farmers Market

5/27/2008 3:12:06 PM -07:00

The Dallas Farmers Market is located on Farmers Road. This is a cool place to go to get all kinds of things. The roads a little rough but not unmanageable. It really could use some maintenance but that is not usual for these roads. Its a great place to go walk around and look around while in Dallas....

Your typical Interstate

5/27/2008 3:07:03 PM -07:00

Interstate 30 is just your typical interstate. During rush hour the traffic is horrible. If there is an accident blocking the road you could wait for several hours. The road could use some new pavement and some of the potholes are bad. This is one of your main roads coming into and going out of Dall...

Very Nice Place

5/27/2008 2:59:56 PM -07:00

Commerce Street is where the Dallas Grande Hotel is located. It is a wonderful place to stay if you are going to visit Dallas. There is so much to do within walking distance. There are stores, eateries, and lots of other things. The road is in good shape but the traffic can become very congested at ...

The most beautiful homes!

5/27/2008 2:39:36 PM -07:00

Swiss Avenue has some of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. Most of them look like older homes that have been remodeled but they are so amazing. I could ride up and down this street for hours just looking at the houses. This is a great street for those who love to go site seeing! The traffic...

Great place for the family!

5/27/2008 2:33:42 PM -07:00

North Market Street is where "The West End District" is located. There is so much to do here, including shopping, eating, playing, and just having fun. If you visit here, which is a must, you need to go visit Wild Bills Western Store. They have some of the coolest things in that store including hand...

Location of the Dallas Convention Center

5/27/2008 2:30:16 PM -07:00

The Dallas Convention Center, located of Griffin Street, is a place everyone needs to go. It is SO HUGE! It is such a beautiful place and they have some of the most wonderful concerts and shows there. My favorite is when they host the car shows. The road is in pretty good shape and could use a litt...

This is in the Business District

5/27/2008 2:25:54 PM -07:00

Akard Street is where the Dallas City Hall is located and the Convention Center can be accessed from here. The road is in great shape and traffic can be congested at times, especially when things are going on at the Convention Center. Overall this is a great road to use to travel through Dallas.

Great place to shop and Alternative to the Tollroad

5/27/2008 12:46:58 PM -07:00

Preston Road runs through Highland and University Park and is one of the premier places to shop in Dallas besides Northpark Mall. Preston Center is located at Preston Road and Northwest Highway and has lots of shops and restaurants. Preston runs parallel to the Dallas North Tollroad and is an excell...

Ideal place to start and raise a family

5/27/2008 12:28:38 PM -07:00

A friend of mine lives on Hanover - it is a beautiful neighborhood with large houses. It is situated in University Heights located in University Park and costs a pretty penny but is certainly worth it. Many families play in their front yards and young couples walk along the tree-lined sidewalks. It'...

Highland Park and University Park main artery

5/27/2008 12:24:07 PM -07:00

Hillcrest Avenue runs along the beautiful Southern Methodist University as well as through Highland Park and University Park which happen to be two of the premier places to live in Dallas, Texas. There is a great mix of restaurants, spas, dry cleaners, and retail along Hillcrest opposite SMU. Along ...

Great place to hear music and get a tattoo

5/27/2008 12:13:10 PM -07:00

Main street is not a place to live but is a great place to hear some good local music and get a tattoo. Main Street is part of Deep Ellum which is known for being a place where you keep your purse close and your eyes open and has a dark, dirty, genuine atmosphere. There's a great mix of art gallerie...

Perfect place to go out

5/27/2008 12:07:19 PM -07:00

Great, upscale place to live

5/27/2008 12:00:39 PM -07:00

Cole Avenue is part of the Uptown Dallas district and has lovely upscale lofts, apartments, and townhomes. It's pretty much occupied by young professionals and young couples. There's nearby access to the Katy Trail which is a great place to walk, run, or bike after work or on the weekends. There's a...

Montfort is an Excellent Conduit from There to Anywhere Else

5/27/2008 11:26:14 AM -07:00

I've often found Montfort Drive to be an excellent alternative to The Dallas North Tollway or Preston Rd. when travelling through North Dallas. Montfort's appeal is limited, of course, to length in relation to your own travel needs. But, when living in North Dallas near Addison I found this drive in...

Great place to raise a family.

5/27/2008 10:43:07 AM -07:00

A friend of mine lives here and I have spent a great deal of time on this street. This is a wonderful place for young families - it runs right through Snider Plaza which has an array of upscale restaurants (Penne Pomodoro, Felissa's, and Amore's), down-home restaurants (Kuby's and Peggy Sue's BBQ) a...

Too much going on here

5/27/2008 7:37:56 AM -07:00

I used to visit a friend of mine here often. This is a small street off of Westheimer and the only residents are those who live in the West Point Apartments. It was ALWAYS noisy...there are always cars parked on the side of the street which made it hard to navigate. Even so people were often speedin...

Nice place to retire

5/27/2008 10:33:09 AM -07:00

I lived in the Wilshire House Apartments at 6151 E Mockingbird Lane in 2007. It wasn't restricted in terms of applicants, but it was practically a retirement village - I was in college at the time. As I moved out it seemed as if the tenants were becoming a bit more varied; younger families, other co...

Blink and You May Miss Verde Valley Lane.

5/27/2008 10:14:39 AM -07:00

Verde Valley is a small stretch of Dallas, Texas blacktop wending its quiet way past the gated condominium communities that bump up against a wooden sign announcing the fact that another step will bring you onto the coveted lawns of Addison. I've often heard the word 'Addison' spoken of in hushed, ...

Wonderful place to live as a young professional

5/27/2008 10:06:47 AM -07:00

I love driving home everyday, the streets are lined with flowers and people with their dogs and children getting out and getting some fresh air. There are always great events happening in the Village Country Club, live music and entertainment are not hard to find. Most the people living here are you...

Southpoint Drive-The Illusion of Suburbia Within City Walls

5/27/2008 8:16:04 AM -07:00

Southpoint Drive, Dallas, Texas, is a cut-rate substitute for an already second-rate dream. This area presents the visitor with a cheap 'study' into semi-suburbanite psychology. I only assume that illusion is one which a homeowner can live with.
Southpoint is one of several short, curved virtual-cl...

Nice quiet street with great neighbors

5/27/2008 7:30:10 AM -07:00

One of my good friends lives here, and it really is a nice street. It's a cul-de-sac, so everyone on the street knows each other pretty well and are very friendly. There are several families with children, and the kids often play basketball in the circle without having to worry about traffic speedin...

This is HORRIBLE

5/27/2008 7:24:27 AM -07:00

My ex-boyfriend lived here, so I was often visiting. This street is HORRIBLE. There are mainly apartments on this street which is not a problem in and of itself. But the complexes are not well kept, the gates are often broken which means anyone and everyone can walk or drive up off of the street int...

Nice location, but impersonal

5/27/2008 7:18:40 AM -07:00

My brother lives here, and the location is great: near the Medical Center, near the major freeways, near downtown. But there is always traffic on this street. Dining is few and far between, and they are usually fast food places such as Subway, there aren't any real sit down dining restaurants nearby...

Lovely area, great neighbors!

5/27/2008 7:12:27 AM -07:00

A friend of mine lives here and often has cookouts and other get togethers at his place. The neighbors are fantastic, they often wander over and are very accommodating. There are several families on this street, and mostly everyone is dog friendly. There are often people out walking their dogs and v...

Quiet street, near EVERYTHING

5/27/2008 7:07:55 AM -07:00

My sister and her family lives here. Other than the fact it is located extreme North, it is a great place to live if you work nearby. There is an elementary (Greenwood Forest Elementary), middle (Wunderlich Intermediate School), and high school (Klein Forest High School) all within walking distance....

This was one of the best streets I ever lived on!

5/27/2008 7:00:35 AM -07:00

I lived here for 2 years while I was in college. It was great! I lived in an apartment complex, but this street was also a part of a residential community. There were lovely homes on this street as well. The lawns were always nice, lush and green. It was a quiet neighborhood, although it was located...

Nice for families

5/27/2008 6:54:06 AM -07:00

My dad lives on this street. The neighbors are very nice to one another, they look out for each other. There tends to be a lot of people with loud music driving up and down the street, but overall it seems to be a nice place for families. There are a lot of children who ride their bikes and skate up...

Nice, but has gone down

5/27/2008 6:49:33 AM -07:00

This area (Westheimer & the Beltway) is a GREAT location for shopping, dining, and nightlife, but it tends to get pretty noisy. Even though this is a smaller street, there is still quite a bit of traffic due to the location. Neighbors in this area tend to get noisy, with quite a bit of arguing and f...

Quiet, friendly street

5/27/2008 6:45:06 AM -07:00

I grew up on this street, and my grandmother still lives there. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and neighbors really look out for one another there. The yards are well kept, there is a family YMCA, 2 churches and 2 elementary schools within walking distance. There are gas stations, grocery stor...

Great location, overall nice place to live

5/27/2008 6:40:01 AM -07:00

I currently live on this street. For the most part I enjoy it. It is near all of the major freeways, near downtown, and near the Texas Medical Center. There are a few nice food places nearby (Luby's, Reggae Hut) but most places are not super close. It is a prime area of town due to the proximity of ...

Beautiful country road

5/27/2008 4:14:00 AM -07:00

FM 1486 is a long country road that runs through Montgomery, Texas. The traffic is light and the scenery is beautiful. It is a wonderful street to live off of. The only thing you need to be careful of is deer crossing the road at night.

Busy suburban street

5/27/2008 4:10:21 AM -07:00

Jones Road is a busy suburban street located near Cypress, TX. It has a wealth of shopping centers and restaurants, yet still retains that country feel.

Dark road with lots of traffic

5/27/2008 4:06:26 AM -07:00

Cypress North Houston is a beautiful road. However, at night there are no overhead street lights and it's pretty dark. Also, during peak traffic times it is almost impossible to enter.

Clean country road without the country feel.

5/27/2008 4:02:18 AM -07:00

Huffmeister is a four-lane road beginning at Highway 6 and narrowing down to a two lane road following Cypress N Houston. It is clean and easy on traffic.

Major Road, close to everything

5/26/2008 9:16:37 AM -07:00

I lived on Arapaho Rd. in Dallas TX for over a year. Some of the nice things about living on a busy street are the transportation possibilities. Being so close to the major hub that is Dallas makes places easier to get to. The safety of the neighborhood is good depending where you are at. The int...

Hidalgo is most sought after street in Houston's Galleria area

5/25/2008 8:14:22 PM -07:00

The 5300 block of Hidalgo is like a mini-neighborhood all it own, with its brownstone-like many patio homes and tree-lined private drive safe from the main lanes of traffic. Check out www.StGeorgePlace.com for the larger neighborhood's website. This neighborhood clearly is the best kept secret i...

Access to I-10

5/24/2008 6:46:03 PM -07:00

US 59 begins and ends in Loredo and I-10 in Houston. It is your typical highway that needs improvements. The road is rough and the traffic horrible. You access a lot of side roads in Houston from 59. There are a lot of businesses of of 59 and several residential areas. This road really needs paved t...

Just a Connector

5/24/2008 6:39:57 PM -07:00

Walnut Street is just a connector road between Rothwell and Wood Street. It is right in Houston and is in the industrial part. It has a few pot holes and other little road problems but overall not a bad street. It is not used by visitors usually because it is not around the shopping and other activi...

This street could use some cleaning up!

5/24/2008 6:34:00 PM -07:00

This is a nice neighborhood with very nice residents but the houses are worn down. The yards and streets really need to be cleaned up. As with other smaller streets, you have to watch out when you are driving because sometimes kids are playing near the road. Overall, it is a great neighborhood that ...

Friendly Suburban Neighborhood

5/24/2008 6:29:29 PM -07:00

This is a residential area. The roads really need improvements. Sidewalks would be great! You have to drive slow and carefully because it is very common for children to be playing in or next to the road. Neighbors are friendly. The neighborhood could use a little cleaning up and trimming of trees. O...

Access to all of Houston

5/24/2008 6:20:48 PM -07:00

Main Street allows you access to all of Houston's great assets. Dining, shopping, entertainment can all be accessed from Main Street. You can use the shuttle to get just about anywhere. It is a great street to visit. The traffic is congested and can be loud at times but otherwise a great place.

Your Typical Interstate

5/24/2008 6:16:29 PM -07:00

East Freeway is your typical interstate. There is a lot of traffic, mostly during rush hour times. The roads are somewhat rough and need maintenance. You can access a lot of Houston from East Freeway. Downtown, shopping, dining, and other things can be reached from the freeway. Overall, not a bad ro...

Great Neighborhood For Families

5/24/2008 5:38:51 PM -07:00

This is a great place to live. All the neighbors are very friendly. The neighborhoods are pretty clean and the cost of living is about normal. It is very close to downtown so you would have easy access to many things such as shopping, eating out, and lots of other things. The traffic can be bad at t...

Great for Shoppers and Drinkers

5/24/2008 5:31:51 PM -07:00

The things I love about Westheimer Road are the Bars/Lounges and all the shopping. I love to go have drinks at Shimakos and Firkin & Pheonix. This street is really long and there are many other things here, especially houses. Depending on the street, there are different things on each end. Families ...

Great Place to Spend the Day Shopping

5/24/2008 5:23:54 PM -07:00

There are so many great stores here...European Walking Store, House of Coffee Beans, Wolf Camera, and my favorite Fleet Feet Sports. I love to bring my kids here when we come to visit family. We can spend all day walking around to the shops and eat all in the same place. Wonderful place for families...

Great Street to Visit!

5/24/2008 5:16:41 PM -07:00

There are several places on Times Blvd. in Houston including my favorite "Main Street Theater". The have such great shows here. Every time I am in town, I make sure to go see them. I can't wait to visit and see Present Laughter in June. I also love The Bead Shop and G&G. A great place to go if you a...

great place if you are gay and want to party

5/24/2008 4:00:37 PM -07:00

The area around the Montrose Westheimer intersection is well known for being a gay neighborhood. As long as you are not homophobic this is a great place to hang out. I take my kids there alll the time and there are some great restaurants like Niko Nikos or La Mexicana (great decor and a covered pati...

If you are gay this is where to go

5/24/2008 3:49:33 PM -07:00

Party street in a cool part of city

5/24/2008 3:44:32 PM -07:00

Richmond runs a long way through Houston but the area down near the Galleria is well know for being a party area of the city. A great place to hang out and drink beer and eat good food. Also a good place to meet other people. I wouldn't want to live on it though. It's kinda busy, especially around m...

Fairly quiet street in a great location

5/22/2008 11:13:44 AM -07:00

Vermont is located in the heart of Houston's Montrose neighborhood. I lived in a duplex on Vermont seven years ago and loved it. The street is pretty quiet.
It's close to everything I wanted. The University of St. Thomas is a few minutes away. There are many good restaurants including Cafe Mont...

If I won the lottery, I would want to move here

5/22/2008 11:02:24 AM -07:00

South Boulevard is in the South Hampton neighborhood in Houston. The homes on this mature, established street are beautiful. There are some great contemporary houses thrown into the mix here.
This street is wonderful because of its location. It is close to a major highway, but feels far from one...

Wonderful street for both residential and retail

5/22/2008 10:51:06 AM -07:00

University Blvd. is located in the West University neighborhood in Houston. It is close to the beautiful Rice University campus and Houston's first-rate medical center.

Stuffy street in exclusive neighborhood

5/22/2008 10:34:12 AM -07:00

Larchmont is located in the super-exclusive River Oaks neighborhood in Houston. It is a residential street but very centrally located. The vibe on the street is stuffy but the homes are beautiful.

Larchmont is close to lots of shopping. The River Oaks shopping center and the Upper Kirby Distri...

More retail and restaurants than residential

5/22/2008 10:26:22 AM -07:00

West Gray is one of my favorite streets in Houston. It hooks up to River Oaks and the Montrose neighborhood. The residential areas of this street are pretty exclusive. River Oaks is one of the wealthiest zip codes in America.

West Gray is a great street for shopping and eating out. The River ...

Noisy, unsafe street in a good neighborhood

5/22/2008 7:48:21 AM -07:00

Hopkins Street in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston is not a good place to live. It's a fun place to hang out and good for nightlife but living there is not safe (especially at the Pacific Street intersection). I lived in an apartment at this intersection and it was awful. There were very youn...

Recently transformed street

5/22/2008 6:51:15 AM -07:00

Just a few years ago, Nett consisted mostly of lower income, single family homes. Only a few of those older homes remain today. Poorly constructed, over-priced townhomes have gone up in their place. The surrounding neighborhood has transformed as well. There are many great restaurants near by, s...

Beautiful street to visit with lots to do

5/22/2008 6:17:03 AM -07:00

Sul Ross is a beautiful street in the heart of Houston's Montrose neighborhood. It is walking distance to the University of St. Thomas which has a beautiful campus designed by Phillip Johnson. It is also home to the Menil Collection - a world class private art museum. The museum was designed by a...

Mixed neighborhood very close to downtown

5/22/2008 6:05:04 AM -07:00

On this street you find a mix of housing types and people as the neighborhood is transforming from low-income to yuppie. There are large complexes of new (built within the past 5 years) townhomes. The townhomes are mostly modern, metal buildings that cater to the young business/corporate crowd. S...

Quiet, family-oriented street in established neighborhood

5/21/2008 2:43:40 PM -07:00

This is a quiet, residential street in the Oak Forest neighborhood. The houses were built in the fifties and young families are beginning to move to this family-friendly neighborhood. Many of the homes on this street are from the 1950s but big, new construciton is popping up on this street as well...

JuST OK for me

5/20/2008 5:33:08 PM -07:00

Well this drive has nothing special to tell about. There are not any point of interests except the quiet place to sit with you loved one for sometime. Both of its sides have huge parking lots spread over a vast area. You hardly see anyone passing by this. Well the lookout drive is the long one but ...

Such a nice place in TX

5/20/2008 5:28:42 PM -07:00

I really love this place. Golf is one of my favorite sports and this street has some special associations to me. Synergy Park Boulevard connects to Waterview Pkwy in the west. The Golf park is huge and beautiful. There is such a nice and a wonderful view all over since there are not any buildings ar...

A great street to visit

5/19/2008 6:27:33 PM -07:00

You may know of all of the streets with great shopping and dining, one of which is Beechnut street. However, after you are done shopping and eating and having a few great drinks, you may be tired and this street has some of the best hotels in which to do so.
This is an upper class business street i...

The price for Beauty

5/19/2008 6:21:04 PM -07:00

This is a lovely street to visit and is amazing if you are able to live anywhere near it. That is because this street could be considered to be Houston's version of New York's famous fifth avenue. It is fun to windowshop but if you intend on taking anything home with you, you better do a whole lot o...

A Shopper's Delight

5/19/2008 6:16:28 PM -07:00

This street has many things on it, though most of them not so interesting to visitors. It is a nice street to live on but if you are a visitor you will find one great thing, and that is the shopping. This street is host to some of the best shopping in Houston. There is something everyone and every b...

Another Green street

5/19/2008 1:58:25 PM -07:00

I have been to the Vickie Drive several times to visit one my friends and everytime i go there i want to stay a little longer because of the peaceful and calmful atmosphere.

I would a green neighborhood with lots of beautifull constructed small houses. There are many points of interest ...

Very nice street in quiet neighborhood.

5/18/2008 12:54:36 AM -07:00

The residents of Glencoe Street are lucky enough to not only live in a beautiful neighborhood, but also a wonderfully quiet one. Major highways nearby allows for easy access to shopping, dining, and much, much more. Large older trees here supply plenty of shade for those who like the outdoors on nic...

A police nightmare!

5/18/2008 12:37:08 AM -07:00

North Garrett Street really is a police officer's nightmare. Gang activity goes unchecked in this neighborhood, along with drug use and prostitution on many street corners and back alleyways. Residents of this street are always having to look over their shoulders and rightfully adds more locks to th...

Bad street, not to be trusted.

5/18/2008 12:27:29 AM -07:00

Like other streets nearby San Jacinto Street has plenty of dangerous aspects. Large groups of rough looking young men making threatening gestures to traffic is all together too common. Drug deals and prostitution can be witnesses at all times of day here. And the police force seems either unable or ...

No Hype Necessary

5/18/2008 12:21:31 AM -07:00

This street is ideal for people who love to be in the middle of it all. Though there isn't a whole lot of things to do directly on the street, it connects you within minutes to anything you could need or want, from high end shopping to affordable, expensive lunch or dinner, to affordable. Best of al...

If you want hype, come get it

5/18/2008 12:17:03 AM -07:00

This street is just a bunch of hype. It is a typical area for people with a lot of money who don't care much for identity when it is much easier to just look to the next man to see what things should be. It is rather boring and once you've spent your money on that one of a kind 4 figure shirt that e...

Fun street to visit

5/18/2008 12:12:11 AM -07:00

this street is exactly what it is supposed to be all about. you can make a full day of fun right here and you dont' have to drive from one place to another. You can have breakfast, go find something to do, go shopping, have lunch, go do more shopping or go see a movie, and then have a nice dinner at...

Horrible, horrible street!

5/18/2008 12:07:45 AM -07:00

North Harwood Street, a dangerous street among many other dangerous streets around the Dallas area. Police cars can always be seen on the street afer being called for domestic violence or drug related arrests. 34 Gang and gang-like groups are constantly a treat of bodily harm on and near North Harwo...

Nice street with old school appeal

5/18/2008 12:05:26 AM -07:00

This is a nice friendly street to live on. There is always someone to talk to and they are more than willing to talk to neighbors. If you are visiting and are lost, people almost fight to be the one to tell you how to get to where you want to go. There are teens and children but they are all behaved...

A street for sports fans

5/18/2008 12:01:03 AM -07:00

If you are a sports fan this street is a must for you as it is the home to the Houston Astros Major league baseball team. There is always hustle and bustle on this street and when there is a game in town you can feel the electricity. Enjoy food from the street vendors, you can even get official merc...

mild to almost boring

5/17/2008 11:52:34 PM -07:00

There isn't much to say about this street except for that it can be very boring. It doesn't offer really much in the way of great dining or great shopping. I don't think this street was meant to really be a tourist attraction so much as it was meant to be a way to get to the great shopping and dinin...

Decent food, but not much else

5/17/2008 11:46:59 PM -07:00

This street is not bad if you are looking for good food at good prices. there is a lot to choose from and if you are like me, and you like authentic mexican food, you will not be disappointed. The bad thing is that while there is a few different types of food offered on this street, the ones that se...

Loud and dangerous street.

5/17/2008 11:06:09 PM -07:00

Live Oak Street itself is pretty loud and dangerous. Poorly lit, this street is not really safe for women or children, if anyone. Drugs and loud questionable activities make this a very poor choice when looking for a new place to call home. This street offers cheaper housing but is not worth it afte...

Older neighborhood with nice clean streets.

5/17/2008 10:29:02 PM -07:00

Kings Highway is located in North Oak Cliff, which is built on gentle, rolling hills. Beautiful older homes line the streets, adding character and class to the neighborhood. And because it's located outside the center of Dallas, the residents here have real privacy without the ever present intrusion...

Nice and Historic!

5/17/2008 10:13:36 PM -07:00

North Winnetka Avenue has more than its share of old homes. History buffs will truely love taking a relaxing drive along this street! Located far enough away from the hussle and bussle on the downtown area but still close enough for easy shopping, entertainment, and culture of Dallas. North Winnetka...

Quiet street, great for retirees.

5/17/2008 9:56:40 PM -07:00

Merrimac Avenue is another great street among many in this part of Dallas. Like its neighboring streets, Merrimac has lots of older trees offering ample shade for the residents. Large, classy brick homes on sprawling grassy lawns are plentiful and very few children along this street makes it extreme...

Wonderful old neighborhood!

5/17/2008 9:42:39 PM -07:00

Older homes dominate this street, all with their own manicured lawns, and shaded yards and sidewalks. The residents here enjoy a bit of a reprieve from their hectic lives when they come home to this peaceful setting, Yet they are still close enough to all the shopping and entertainment they could ev...

Great residential street.

5/17/2008 9:27:20 PM -07:00

Monticello Avenue is located just off North Central Expressway, giving residents quick access to downtown Dallas, the city's colleges, abundant shopping, and entertainment. This street is lined with comfortable yet upscale homes, manicured lawns, and shaded sidewalks. The residents of this neighborh...

Good Living Area For Families

5/17/2008 1:59:07 PM -07:00

There are some nice apartments on Jonsson Blvd. One of the biggest advantages of the place is its nearness to Tom Thumb grocery store and lots of other restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is very peaceful. It does not have much traffic and is away enough from W Campbell Rd. to be safe from noise...

Closed street, Very peaceful and shady

5/17/2008 1:54:00 PM -07:00

Cullum St is a very green and shady street. I love the place because it is so calm and peaceful. It used to be open for traffic but now it has been closed. That only adds to the serenity of the place. There is dense tree at the western end of the street. I have some stunningly beautiful birds around...

Nice Living Area

5/17/2008 5:42:14 AM -07:00

This is a very calm and peaceful neighborhood. One of the biggest advantages of the place is that it is somewhat close to lots of good restaurants and grocery stores. Not only that, the restaurants are multicultural ranging from bangladeshi, egyptian, indian, pakistani, chinese etc. I have had some ...

Dallas Downtown Park

5/17/2008 5:30:14 AM -07:00

This is very close to the Giggs Park which is located very near to the Dallas Downtown area. A bit far from the congestion of the downtown, you can enjoy this place and take some rest. It is relatively peaceful and nice to be around. Stay at the western edge of the park as it is away from the nearby...

A great view of the lake

5/17/2008 5:24:34 AM -07:00

The mountain creek lake bridge provides an awesome view of the expanse of the mountain creek lake. If you drive around the place, make sure to drive through the bridge, you will enjoy it. While moving towards east, you will notice a huge part of the lake on your left. A relatively smaller portion of...
