Houston and its ever changing landscape, Political and Physical

So I decided to go for a long walk the other day in one of Houston's amazing park areas, Eleanor Tinsley Park and Buffalo Bayou Park. "Eleanor Tinsley Park is a section of Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston, Texas. It was designated on April 20, 1998 in honor of Eleanor Tinsley, who served as a member of the Houston City Council At-Large for 16 years. The park houses the Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark, the Shady Grove Victim Memorial, a Henry Moore sculpture entitled "Large Spindle Piece", the Houston Police Officers' Memorial, Glenwood Cemetery, the San Felipe playground, jogging trails, and a sand pit which can be used for volleyball. This is all inside a bigger section called, Buffalo Bayou Park. Buffalo Bayou Park offers 160 acres of beautiful scenery and skyline views, artwork, a nature play area, the “go-to” dog park in the city, hike and bike trails, and gathering places for visitors to enjoy outdoor activities as well as live, artistic performances. Stretching from Shepherd Drive to Sabine Street between Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive, it is fulfilling its potential as one of the country’s great urban parks. This park recently went through heavy flooding though in the last couple of months after being renovated and completely "modernized". This park was designed this way in order to relieve other bayous in Houston and make way for the water in our system to make its way to the sea. 









 This area is home to affluent Houstonians with homes in the price range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions. In the immediate surrounding areas you will find River Oaks, The Houston Heights, Montrose and Washington Corridor. These are all great areas with home values that continue to rise year after year. If you would like to check out the real estate in these areas for a new home or investment property, please call me. I want to be your Realtor. 

The people in this city are also very active in sports, arts and especially politics. During my travels around the city, I usually have the honor of meeting different groups of people that represent the many streams of politics. From rightest right to leftest left, I want to meet them all. That is part of what makes Houston, Houston. We might not all see the same way politically but we all seem to love this city and our way of life in Texas. 


 I was able to make a fundraiser at an  awesome venue with valet parking called, 

Rosemont Social Club. Rosemont Social Club located at 910 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77006,

A lounge in the heart of Montrose - Houston serving cocktails and lite bites with an indoor/patio bar. It was a good time and a great atmosphere. I met a couple of very nice people and I had to a chance to catch up with old friends and new ones




Houston really has something for everyone and it is impossible not to meet great people. So if you are looking to move closer to the action or if you are ready to slow down and stop and smell the bluebonnets, I can help you find the perfect spot. 

If you are ready to Buy, Sell, Lease or Invest, I want to be your Realtor.
