Current Resident: Security is the main thing. The police are always driving through the area. They sometimes leave their cars parked at different parts of roads throughout the evening.

Current Resident: Montrose is the best place we’ve ever lived. The area we’re in is the north part of Montrose (near River Oaks Shopping Center). It’s extremely safe and we can walk to just about anything. I think overall when people talk about crime, they’re really talking the Midtown areas or the pocket right around Westheimer & Montrose (the latter having drastically improved the past couple of years). I honestly don’t understand why those who can afford it choose to move elsewhere when you’ve got so much, so close.... Read 29 reviews

Current Resident: This is an awesome neighborhood with lots of families out and about daily. The people are friendly and schools are top notch - my kids went to Horn ES, Pin Oak MS and Bellaire HS - all great schools! We love the nearby pools, doggie park, playgrounds and nature discovery center - everyone comes here for great events such as the pumpkin festival, bird watch, and kids love the little animals and discovery rooms. We enjoy kicking ball at Evelyn's Park, plus there's a cute little restaurant and outdoor seating, and weekend life music. It's all within walking distance from Bellaire's Southdale where we are. We also enjoy being so close to Whole Foods, HEB, restaurants and Meyerland shopping center.... Read 57 reviews

Current Resident: Cons: Very little diversity in any sense of the word. Including the public schools. People are often openly bigoted here, will try to push their religion onto you, and are snobby. The houses and rent are overpriced. Pros: The public schools in the area are super great, academically, and some are nationally-recognized. There are some great local restaurants here, and some great shopping areas like City Centre, Memorial Green, and Memorial City Mall. You will have close access to Memorial Hermann Hospital and medical services. There are enough sidewalks, for the most part. The neighborhoods are mostly safe, especially compared to the other neighborhoods in Houston or in other large cities. There is a lot of community engagement, too, like sports and extracurricular things that you and your kids can participate in. Also, it's a quieter neighborhood compared to other Houston neighborhoods.... Read 86 reviews

Former Resident: I’ve been living here for the past 5 months and it has been a very friendly, and quiet neighborhood so far! Minus the overhead airplanes and such, it’s a very scenic and green environment with plenty of parks and other natural features. There are the parks, pools, nature trails, nearby malls, marketplaces, stores and of course, the very plentiful hospitals here in Houston and the amount of childcare and job opportunities. It’s wonderful to live here overall.... Read 144 reviews

Current Resident: This area is considered to be the "heart of the city." I've lived here for about 10 years (since 2009), and I love living in Greenway/Upper Kirby! My now ex-husband chose this neighborhood because it was close to where he worked. He moved here ahead of me to start work. I therefore moved here sight unseen. I couldn't have chosen a better place to live. I had spent most of my life in suburban Philadelphia before living here. I always wanted to live in the city. Urban areas in the US South are quite different than in the North. Although Greenway/Upper Kirby is definitely an urban area, it almost has a suburban feel. Yes, there's a ton of amenities--stores, restaurants, etc.--within walking distance. However, there are lots of trees and parks around, too. Because we're in the middle of Greenway Plaza, one of the city's largest commercial centers, it gets quiet at night after the offices empty. I think that what I love the most is that this neighborhood is a foodie's paradise.... Read 11 reviews

Transportation facilities are good, and buses run frequently to the TMC and Mission Bend, connections to Downtown, which leads to a fair level of convenience.

Current Resident: My experience growing up in West University has been amazing. Overall, the suburb has shown to be an incredibly safe, tightknit, and fun community. Since I moved in to the area late in to my lifetime (as a child) at 8 years old, I thought it would be difficult to assimilate and make friends with the other kids. However, I was instantly proven wrong. Since most children who lived in the area went to the local school, I quickly got comfortable, and made tons of friends - many of which lived in my neighborhood! These friends became friends I would still have today in my senior year of highschool, and I continue to remember almost every day how much West University means to me and how much it has contributed to my development....

Current Resident: This is one of the more affluent parts of Houston and it shows. Schools are great, gorgeous homes, lots of shopping and places to eat. The local elementary school, River oaks elementary, has the coolest playground I’ve ever seen. The area is safe and well protected and there are lots of families and pets. I think the roads could be a little better but that’s a big city of Houston issue in general. My favorite part of living here is being close to Montrose, the galleria, rice village, and Buffalo bayou park. Talk about being in a great location.... Read 12 reviews
