Surrounded by iconic sites in Willow Meadows-Willowbend
At a glance, Willow Meadows-Willowbend is made for people working at Houston's mammoth Texas Medical Center, just a few miles away. This world-famous institution, alongside NASA, has long been an anchor of Houston's economic growth and subsequent popularity. Willow Meadows-Willowbend is also just 2 miles from NRG Park, site of the Astrodome and sometimes wryly referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by Houstonians for being the first air-conditioned stadium. NRG Park also has a massive convention center and is home to several events beyond Astros games, from rodeos to concerts. This neighborhood is perched just on the outer edge of the southwestern side of the Inner Loop, so convenience is vital for people living here. "I know it's an overused term, but it's accurate – I always hear residents say that it's a hidden gem," says Angela Ritchey, a long-time Houstonian with Coldwell Banker Realty who's been selling homes for nearly 20 years.

A way to settle near Brays Bayou
Large, spacious family homes for entry-level prices close to job opportunities have traditionally drawn people to Willow Meadows-Willowbend. The Willow Waterhole Bayou cuts north-south through the community. Simple mid to late-century ranch houses back up to the tributary, shaded on wide streets by old-growth willow oaks and magnolias. Tastefully renovated and quiet-seeming modern properties stand near Willow Park alongside stucco contemporary homes and cottages. Willow Meadows-Willowbend sits right on the southern border of Brays Bayou, so potential homeowners should know that while the bayou has over 15 miles of trails, it's also prone to flash floods. Older ranch homes sell between $350,000 and $380,000, while contemporary townhomes and large detached houses usually sell between $390,000 and $500,000.

I live in a safe neighborhood, and I haven't really heard about anyone having problems or about crime there. However, I think we may be near some worse neighborhoods, so you have to look out for where you are and make sure you don't end up in any of those dangerous areas.

I like the heat, so I like Houston weather. It can be humid here, because we're so close to the coast, but I like that it doesn't get too cold during the winter. Sometimes we have to worry about hurricanes during hurrican season, but it's not an annual occurrence.
