Louetta Rd, Houston

I love Louetta Street and the surrounding area. It feels like a suburb, because it is. It just happens to be (barely) within the Houston city limits. North NORTH Houston, but still Houston. I must say though, it doesn't feel like Houston at all. More laid back like Austin or Boulder Colorado. I have a good friend who lives off Louetta and another friend who lives nearby on Cypresswood Drive. I have gotten to know the neighborhoods very well.
Louetta cuts through most of these neighborhoods as it runs from I-45 through 249 and almost all the way to 290. These neighborhoods sit between Spring, Texas and Willowbrook mall. You have everything you need on this side of town. The locals seem to be a nice mixture of lower middle to upper middle class. Everything seems new and fresh (the local Kroger where my friend shops is the biggest and nicest grocery store I think I have ever seen). Like golfing? Several courses in the area. Plenty of shopping, food, and entertainment. In fact, there is no real reason to go into Houston proper which is why my friends rarely do.
If you are visiting Houston, you could probably do without seeing Louetta road and the surrounding areas. They are too far away from the bright lights of downtown. But if you are looking to move here, this is the best spot you will find on the north side without being in another town.
As far as Houston goes, this is as non-city as there is. Is that a good thing? For some it is a GREAT thing.
