toxtethogrady Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 1/19 by Michi on SSP Boy, do I not want to drive a car into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRichardson Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Boy, do I not want to drive a car into that! Then I would recommend NOT moving to the SkyHouse River Oaks. Seriously, Westcreek Lane is a TWO LANE ROAD, that terminates on both ends WITHOUT streetlights. It was *barely* tolerable with ~1000 apartments and $1/SF rents. I did a lot of work from home. If I got hungry at 5 PM and didn't have any food in the place, I weighed "starving" and "eating sawdust/unidentifiable crap off the floor" quite heavily when compared to the prospect of attempting to drive to anywhere. This meant I did a lot of grocery shopping at 10 PM, which I actually preferred. But I didn't like having the option of 5 PM virtually made impossible.

jgriff Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Why would people that live in Skyhouse get on 610? I drive around this area all the time and live nearby and I never get on 610. That's for people that live in the sticks and have to drive on highways to work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Yes, if you live there you don't need to get on 610, just enjoy its beautiful scenery from your balcony.You've obviously never seen SkyHouse Austin or SkyHouse Dallas.. Both overlook major highways. The one in Dallas literally backs up to the feeder road... For the record, I think it's kind of weird they are developing all these high end residential developments at Westcreek/along 610. Clearly it's a fantastic location for development. But I would imagine 610 will deter a few buyers/renters from moving to Westcreek. Edited January 22, 2015 by cloud713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the fantastic/priceless views of Uptown, Downtown, and the TMC will surely be overshadowed by 610 Edited January 22, 2015 by Montrose1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have those views. But if I had the money I would rather buy up a place in 2929 or 2727. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernz Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 That's right, if you prefer not to have views of 610, you can choose views of the Target parking lot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 That's right, if you prefer not to have views of 610, you can choose views of the Target parking lot.. . . .and beyond the Target parking lot you have skyline views of Downtown, Greenway, and the medical center. Which I'm sure will be amazing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Although I don't like the sky house towers, I'm excited about the small color paneling on the top, as well as the signage. A little more pizzazz on the loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 woah! i wonder why they only put the signage on this tower. do any other SkyHouses have light up signage like that? i dig it too, as cookie cutter as the towers may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubrt Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The Dallas one does. I haven't seen any other ones in person, but I'm assuming the downtown Houston one doesn't have it because of that stupid signage rule. Though Embassy Suites has finally put up signage and Hilton Americans has always had it so maybe that's changed, or doesn't apply to hotels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ah thanks. Ive only seen like 3 other SkyHouses and havn't noticed any of them with that signage (though the Dallas one was still U/C last time I saw it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoninATX Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) The Skyhouse in Austin also has it's signature as well it lights up. Edited May 12, 2015 by JoninATX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
