Shopping in the Centre and eating at the Bistro

While downtown Houston is 14 miles away, Memorial residents can drive to CityCentre, a shopping hub across the Sam Houston Tollway. “The CityCentre has been a huge boost to the neighborhood,” says Eric Herpin, president of the locally run Nottingham Civic Association. “All the shopping and restaurants and theaters there make it a fun gathering spot.” The nearby Randalls is a go-to for groceries and other essentials, while Tres Market Foods is a popular spot for grab-and-go items. Bistro 555 features a menu of fabulous French dishes such as filet de vivaneau au four a bois and les modules du Rabelais paired with wines from an extensive menu.

A simple drive to Houston via the freeway

“I’d have to say that the area’s proximity to downtown is one of the main draws for homebuyers. You can be away from the noise but close to the action at the same time,” says Herpin. It’s no wonder as to why – Houston is just a 14-mile drive east from Memorial via Katy Freeway in the neighborhood’s north. Besides Katy Freeway, North Wilcrest Drive and North Kirkwood Road are the two main thoroughfares from which all of Memorial’s residential streets stem.
