I love that you wrote this, mostly because it echoes my own feelings about the area. I've been living within walking distance to CityCentre for the last 5 years and have been watching the area develop and grow. We recently outgrew our 5 year old, 2 bedroom condo and sold it for a very significant profit. We love this area, the schools and the opportunity that it offers, but just couldn't justify the expense of a house in "Memorial." There is so much new construction just north of I-10, that we are now under contract with a home builder and are having a 4 bedroom home built just 2 miles from CityCentre. We looked at moving to the suburbs and other areas inside of Houston, but it's so hard to beat the amenities, schools, price and opportunity of the BW8/I10 quadrant. I have a feeling my family will be in this area for quite some time.

I've been visiting CC at least once a month since it opened, and it's things opening up. The only thing that bothers me at this point is that it seems to be very dining oriented, with hardly any retail shops. From their website under the dining and shopping tab: 17 dining establishments 7 shopping establishments Seems sorta 1 sided... also not a single mens clothing store. Maybe because Memorial City mall is right around the corner?

The wife and I tried SushiPop on their opening day and thought it was a big letdown. For the price, I expected it to be much better. Great looking place though. Hopefully they are just working out the kinks and will improve over time. Until then, Koto on Westheimer near Wilcrest will continue to get my sushi money.

Couldn't agree with you more! I think it's so popular because of the atmosphere.
