I live out here. If you like the outdoors you have Bear Creek Park, George Bush Park, The Terry Hershey Trail, and even the Millie Bush Park for dogs. If you take the area from Kirkwood to 6 and Westheimer to 10, it's s packed with people, schools, restaurants, businesses, etc. I can understand if someone prefers to live inside the loop, but the west side is very crowded and bustling in its own right
