Our Take

Houston's 77001 neighborhood is a mixed bag. With a low Walk Score and mostly car-dependent, it's not ideal for those without a car. However, the commute to downtown Houston is relatively short, and there are some good schools in the area. Be aware of the high flood risk and consider the long-term implications.
