Neighborhood

Greater Fondren Southwest is part of the Brays Oaks District of Houston, Texas. This large neighborhood stretches from Brays Bayou Park to the north and US Route 90 to the south. The Sam Houston Tollway forms the western border of the neighborhood.

Named for oilman Walter Fondren, this historic neighborhood contains some hidden gems and is rapidly gaining in popularity due in part to its proximity to Downtown Houston, which is just 15 miles northeast. Houston Baptist University is just outside the neighborhood and is easily reached by heading north on Fondren Road. Greater Fondren Southwest is considered one of Houston's Super Neighborhoods. There’s an amazing mix of low-lying apartments and single-family homes for rent, meaning every renter will find their perfect fit.
