Major streets in the area include Memorial Drive, Addicks Howell Road, Eldridge Parkway, Barker Cypress Road, Park Row Blvd. The majority of people in the area drive personal vehicles, while some use the Addicks Park and Ride. The Park and Ride operates the Houston Metro for those looking to make their downtown commute shorter, and it also organizes ride shares for those commuters looking to carpool. This area is perfect for those employed by major energy companies that work in the Energy Corridor.

Addicks Park Ten is a homey and inviting suburban area dominated by middle aged Caucasians. The homes are very well kept, as are the local strip centers and retail shops. This area is very family oriented with inviting single family home subdivisions such as Clay Meadows, Berkshire, Bear Creek Estates, and Amesbury Park.

"Suburbia"

Here you will find many mini-vans, many shopping centers- both new and nearing the health code violation line, many small subdivisions with houses that are very similar, if not the same. Highway 6 is the main thoroughfare out here, and is usually pretty packed, especially during peak rush hour times. As I said, there are plenty of little shopping centers, but many of them are run-down and look dirty. The grass in many medians and shoulders is overgrown, only cut every month- maybe even every few months. Nightlife is somewhat non-existent in this area. There are a few bars, but the nearest club is Hush, which is closer to Katy. So, if you are looking for a relatively quiet place, this is the place for you. There are also nicer shopping centers as you get farther north, but it seems like quite a hike. There are ample places to eat in the area, but there are relatively few options for finer dining than your typical fast food options. There is a Cracker Barrel, Brothers Pizza (highly recommended-especially pineapple with jalapeños), and Cattleguard at the intersection of I-10 and Highway 6.
The nice thing about the area is Bear Creek Park. Bear Creek Little League, Soccer league and various other children's sports programs are centered here. As a kid, I played many baseball tournaments here, and while I was still young, I noticed that this area was unlike any place in Houston I had seen before. I have since seen other places like it, but it was nice as a child to know that there were still places with big trees and lots of grass. There is also a miniature exotic zoo on the grounds that can prove very exciting for young children and adults alike. The park also has plenty of open space and picnic tables for family outings. The houses in the area are affordable and comfortable. The major plus for living here is zoning for the Katy Independent School District. Many of the schools in this district, including those that have zoning for kids in this area, are among tops in the state in educational standards.
