Braeswood Reviews
Rating 4.19 out of 5 16 reviews
The neighbors in this neighborhood are extremely active and the community is incredible. We're blessed with the schools in the area that the kids are fortunate to attend (like Pershing Middle School and Mark Twain Elementary). The parks in the area are always full of life and I am proud to have grown up here. The neighbors stay in contact through Nextdoor and everyone is friendly.
I really like that everything I need is nearby. I currently rent and everything from a bank, grocery stores, pharmacy, hospitals, and restaurants are conveniently located.
Police only show up if there is something serious going on, something dangerous, not for simple burglary or break-in. I've called about a strange man camping out and charging his cell phone next to the Leasing Center (and across from my apartment), and because I didn't see and report a weapon, they ignored my call. It took multiple calls from me and others before a swat of police caught him. I usually don't see any cops driving around. I do wish my apartment complex installed a fence around the parking lot that I park; my car has a history of being broken into. Again, I report the break-in to the cops, nothing else happens. Fortunately, I have not heard of anything worse that this in my area. There are no registered sex offenders in my apartment complex that show up in Houston records.
