Ranch At City Park: Multifamily At 11900 City Park Central Ln.

[houstongal]

Does anyone know of the City Park community going up around 288 and W. Orem? I noticed several builders are building in the area. My husband and I are considering moving to this area due to its proximity to the medical center. Is this a good neighborhood to move to? Also, how are the schools around this area? If we do buy a home there, we plan on raising our kids there and staying for about 5-7 years.

First, just for clarity, City Park is not in Pearland. It lies north of the Pearland city limit.

I'd advise you to read this thread for an in-depth discussion of City Park. In addition to what you will read there, I checked last week and there are 4 registered sex offenders living there - 2 in City park itself and 2 in the adjacent apartment complex.

Bottom line: I'd recommend steering clear of it.

If you want to buy a home I'd suggest going a few miles further south, into Pearland, on its west side along the 288 corridor. There are many nice homes in Shadowcreek Ranch, Southern Trails (where I live), or other subdivisions. Our schools are ok and crime is much lower.

This information is very helpful. Thank you!
