Yes, we liked the quality of his work very much, plus he is a nice person - someone you would feel comfortable doing business with. We liked Eastwood quite a lot and could see ourselves really enjoying the neighborhood and location. There are still a couple of things that we are weighing pros and cons about. We are also trying to keep an open mind about other neighborhoods/areas too, but we do keep on coming back to this one. So we are trying to do all the research we can. When I saw this thread regarding the retail, I thought it would be a good place to pose this particular question. Maybe I shouldn't have said pedestrian activity, I guess loitering would have been a better word. It would be weird to think about people just standing around behind your house or something (not that they would, but it was just something that crossed our minds). Thank you very much for your comments. It is good to know other people on the street don't seem concerned.

Hello, My husband and I were in Houston a couple of weeks ago and looked at several houses in Eastwood. We met the owner of Garland Company and were able to see his homes under renovation as well. We were quite impressed with him and the quality of his work. We are particularly interested in a home on Rusk that is being restored. This home backs to the new retail area. How do you think the new retail could impact the home? (Some of our concerns are things like bright lights lighting the parking lot, increased pedestrian activity close to the house, other potential businesses that could go in, etc). Or could the new retail bring potential benefits? I recognize there is some distance between the house and the retail center but I can't quite remember how much. Thank you in advance for your opinions and comments.
