Very convenient to downtown, memorial, katy, freeways/beltway to get around the city. Nice, quiet, family oriented neighborhoods. Very safe feeling.

The neighborhood is quiet, not much gun fire for the city. Crime is low, houses are nice, and yards are for the most part kept nicely. Kids can pl;ay in the park at the center of the subdivision with no problems. Very little mischief going on. Neighbors wave as they walk or drive by. Very pleasant area.

People walk at all hours in the area. Kids play outside and in the park. Overall it's far better than some of the older subdivisions or gated communities. Not worried about being home with the front door unlocked.
