Memorial & the Energy Corridor

The Memorial area runs along the west side of Houston, generally west of the loop, and blends into the Energy Corridor employment district farther out along I-10 and the Katy Freeway. It is known for wooded, established subdivisions, good tree cover, and a more suburban-in-the-city feel than the inner-loop neighborhoods.

What tends to define the area:

Who it suits: buyers who want more space and tree cover, a quieter residential setting, and easy access to west-side employment and parks, while staying connected to the rest of Houston via I-10 and the Beltway. Because the area covers many separate neighborhoods, schools, commute, and lot character can vary a lot from one pocket to the next.

• A range of housing, from mid-century ranch homes on larger lots to newer construction and townhomes, spread across many distinct subdivisions.
• Proximity to large parks and green space, including the Terry Hershey Park trail system and George Bush Park on the west side.
• The Energy Corridor itself, a major concentration of employers, which makes the area convenient for people who work on the west side and want a shorter commute.
