Good schools, well kept landscaping with mostly suburban looking middle class homes. Some larger (e,g, greater than 5,000 sq ft) beginning to emerge as growth expands. Close to Sam Houston Tollway, I-10, Memorial Hermann, Memorial City Mall, variety of restaurants from pho to pizza to Mexican. Great mix of diversity in terms of ages (from Gen z to Boomers and everything in between), single/married, LGBT friendly, nationalities, political persuasions, and races. Many people seen jogging or walking dogs. Safety is good, police/EMT response great. Some strip mall/pawn shops south of subdivision make subdivision distinct boundry--would be nice to get rid of those. Also close to burgeoning energy corridor jobs. Highly recommended.
I have lived in Spring Branch for 18 years. I remember the area struggling with violence and hearing gunshots as a child. While I expected the area to worsen, it has actually improved. The city has taken great measures to improve my neighborhood. I feel safer and the area is nicer. Shopping, food, and schools are nearby as well as three of the major freeways. New real estate and town homes are available for a great price, especially when considering its proximity to downtown Houston.
I grew up in Spring Branch and it was an awesome neighborhood! Respect went a long way. I would like to see the neighborhood kids now days show a little bit more respect towards each other. Respect other people values, opinions, and differences.
