Midtown

• Neighborhood in Houston, TX
• 10

Current Resident: Very central, modern, vibrant, walkable neighborhood with easy access to downtown, and most of Houston's freeways within a 5 minute drive. Plentiful nearby restaurants, nightlife. Large enough neighborhood to find a quieter corner. Close to Buffalo Bayou trails and few other small city/neighborhood parks. One or two really good schools nearby, but make sure to check zoning, as others are not good at all. Car crime is an everyday problem.

Greenway / Upper Kirby Area

• Neighborhood in Houston, TX
• 10

Current Resident: The Greenway/ Upper Kirby is one of the best jewels in Houston TX. Conveniently located 7 minutes away from the Galleria, 12 minutes away from NRG stadium and 10 minutes away from Midtown, this area is great if you are traveling or if you want to live here. One of the peculiarities and amenities is that despite being close to it all, you actually feel far enough from the overwhelming galleria trafic. Moreover, there are shops, restaurants, theaters, and of course..plenty of Starbucks around.
