A vibrant locale blending urban energy with suburban charm
The Woodway Highrise is situated in the heart of the Uptown-Galleria District, one of Houston's most dynamic and sought-after neighborhoods. This area, which experienced significant growth during the late 20th century oil boom, has evolved into a premier shopping and business district while maintaining a residential charm.
At the center of the neighborhood's appeal is The Galleria, Texas' largest shopping mall and the seventh-largest in the country. This massive complex spans 2.4 million square feet, housing over 400 stores and dozens of eateries. From high-end luxury brands to popular retail chains, The Galleria caters to a wide range of shopping preferences. The mall also features a 20,000-square-foot ice rink, adding a unique recreational element to the shopping experience.
For those who prefer outdoor shopping, Uptown Park offers a more intimate retail experience. Located about a mile from The Woodway, this open-air center features upscale boutiques, restaurants, wine bars, and cafes. One of the newest additions to the area is Lombardi Cucina Italiana, known for its exquisite Italian cuisine and Wagyu meatballs.
The neighborhood is not just about shopping and dining. Memorial Park, the largest urban park in Texas, lies just beyond the district. Spanning 1,500 acres, the park offers 30 miles of trails, a tennis center, a golf course, and various other recreational facilities. Closer to home, residents can enjoy the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park, featuring a 64-foot-tall sculptural fountain that provides a cool mist on warm Houston days.
For groceries, residents have several options within easy reach. Whole Foods Market is less than a mile away, offering a wide selection of natural and organic products. Randalls, another full-service grocery store, is about a mile from The Woodway. For those willing to venture a bit further, H-E-B and Central Market provide even more options, each about two and a half miles away.
The area also caters to cultural interests. The Jeannette & L.M. George Theater, home to the A.D. Players theater company, is nearby, offering a variety of theatrical productions throughout the year. This 35,000-square-foot venue seats over 450 people and stages full-length shows that run for at least a week.
With its mix of urban amenities and green spaces, the neighborhood surrounding The Woodway Highrise offers a balanced lifestyle that appeals to a diverse range of residents, from young professionals to empty nesters.
Strategic location with diverse transit options
The Woodway Highrise benefits from its strategic location in the Uptown-Galleria District, offering residents various transportation options. While the area is primarily car-oriented, there are alternatives for those looking to reduce their reliance on personal vehicles.
For those who prefer public transportation, several bus stops are within walking distance of the building. The S Post Oak Ln & Riverway Dr stop, served by the Canal / Memorial line, is less than a quarter mile away and can be reached in under a minute on foot. About a five-minute walk from The Woodway, residents can access the Woodway Dr & Post Oak Ln stop, which is served by both the Canal / Memorial and Hillcroft lines. Another option at a similar distance is the Woodway Dr & Sage Rd stop, served by the Hillcroft line.

While the area is primarily designed for car travel, there are some opportunities for walking and cycling. The nearby Memorial Park offers extensive trails for recreational walking and biking.
