What are the ghetto part's of Houston?

Question

What are the nice living part's of Houston or Houston area?

Answer 1

NICE:
The Village
Galleria
Highland Village
Memorial Hieghts
Highway 6 (any part of it between Westhiemer and 288)
Sugarland
The woodlands
champion's forrest
katy
cypress
City of bellaire

Horrible:
Acres Home
3rd ward (except by U of h and Mcgregor)
5th ward
I45 (between greens road and W fuqua)
there's more but those are the worst
Sharpstown (and most of the southwest is gang infested. There are exceptions)

Answer 2

The Gulfton area was not previously mentioned. It contains many Katrina refugees and is known as the Gulfton Ghetto. It is southwest, not too far from Sharpstown. Yes, there are the ward areas, Acres Homes, and South Wayside, too.

Houston is not zoned, so you can literally have crappy areas next to nice neighborhoods. On the west side, along Briar Forest Road (in between the Beltway and Kirkwood), are a series of old, low rent apartment complexes. You constantly see police cars going in and out of there. North and south of these apartments are nice subdivisions where houses sell in the $200-250K range. I live 3 miles north of there, in Memorial, where you can walk alone at night, houses start at $300K, and the only time I see a cop is when he's writing a traffic ticket to some soccer Mom in an H2.

P.S. I don't know where people are getting this, but there is no Memorial Heights area in Houston. There is Memorial (my area) and The Heights, but they are nowhere near each other. I've seen this twice today from two different posters.

Answer 3

There's alot of ghetto neighborhoods in Texas. Sharpstown area is scarey. There are others but I am fairly new to Houston still, I have only been here for a year and am out in the Kemah Clearlake area and plan on moving over to the Sugarland area in the next month and a half.

Answer 4

there are ghetto parts on all sides of town:

right around downtown
3rd, 4th, and 5th ward
south houston
alief
down mlk blvd.

as for the nicer parts:

sugarland was voted top 5 places to live in the us.
katy
the woodlands
champion's forrest area
memorial heights
galleria

if your looking to purchase, anything nice inside the 610 loop is going to be much more expensive than outside the 610 loop.

Answer 5

its nice every where though down town is more exspensive to live it more around the bay area and factory out side the high ways to the east.

Answer 6

woodlands, clearlake, westchsase
