"Second Ward, Houston"

There are a number of nearby communities to this neighborhood. Some of these include Greater Eastwood and Magnolia Park. If you visit this area you will find easy access to major Houston roadways. The Second Ward is within close proximity to Interstate Highway 45, Interstate Highway 10, and the East 610 Loop. These roads provide visitors and residents with easy access to many other portions of the city. Here you will find older apartment complexes and residential choices.
