"Perfect place for trendy singles and young couples"
A trendy, updated area of Houston nestled among The 610 Loop, 59-The Southwest Freeway, and Interstate 10-The Katy Freeway is Greater Uptown. Located in a prime Houston area, perfect for shopping, working, and dining; this chic upscale neighborhood is the place to be. You will find major Houston roadways in this area including San Felipe Street and Chimney Rock. Tree lined roadways and active home owners can be found exercising at local parks or having brunch at patio dining spots. However, the majority of Houston employers are located in the nearby Galleria area, which can cause traffic and congestion at peak travel times during the week.
Close to Midtown & Downtown Houston, Greater Uptown is the perfect spot for singles and young couples. This is one of the best areas of Houston for nightlife, and is home to many of the famous bars and clubs. Being close to Memorial Park you will find setback areas filled with joggers, dog walkers, and even fitness boot camp groups. There are a vast amount of major employers in the area since it is close to The Galleria. Grade school students residing in this area will attend HISD schools, which tend to have a bad reputation, but there are a variety of private schools to choose from if your pocketbook allows.
