Northwest Houston offers suburban paradise among retail and restaurant offerings

-

Northwest Houston’s short distance from big city attraction­s and amenities plus the rolling hills, trees and acreage for livestock and gardens are just what many homeowners are searching for. There are 585,000-plus residents in northwest Houston currently.

Major hubs such as the George Bush Interconti­nental Airport, downtown Houston and west Houston are accessible.

The Cypress area in northwest Houston is also home to award-winning masterplan­ned communitie­s including Coles Crossing, Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Lakewood Forest, and Fairfield. In Towne Lake, there is also a boardwalk, which offers sailing and boating, shopping, studios, restaurant­s, offices, and a Texas Children’s Pediatrics Cypress office — with additional northwest-area locations of TCP as well.

Residents in this area can enjoy various parks and outdoor activities including Bear Creek Pioneer Park, the Cypress Creek Mountain Bike Trail System, Telge Park, and Dyess Park.

Ready to shop to your heart’s delight? Snap up some bargains at Houston Premium Outlets in Cypress. Further entertainm­ent can be at Sam Houston Race Park, BlackHorse Golf Club or at local distilleri­es.

Tomball has a steady stream of community events including their annual German festival, a crawfish festival, and a bluegrass festival. In Cypress, the annual spring Wine Fair Cy-Fair attracts more than 3,000 attendees to sample 200-plus wine varieties.

A major greenway initiative plan is underway throughout the northwest corridor, which will ultimately yield 40 miles of park and trail systems. ■
