thats what I would think too. Someone that I know gave me the link. It could be another hoax but who knows. I mean it was on facebook

Heather Mills? Paul McCartney's wife? doesnt she only have like one leg? Man what happens if it popped off during the show? I mean no offense to the legless population but that would be hilarious. also I think Steve from 90210 is goin to take it this year. I mean he's Steve freakin Saunders there is no questioning his dancing abilities.

so my 9th grade health teacher was wrong? it isnt the Mississippi run-off? How could you do this to me Mr. Ermis!

Memorial Parkway. anything south of highland knolls to kelliwood and west of mason to east of fry. also anything off of provincial closer to the freeway off mason. Nottingham Country is still good but the houses will need rehab.

my parents havent landed on a place just yet. There were some homes in Wilchester, Briargrove Park, and Enclave that look interesting though. they are looking to downsize from a two to a one story home but basically in the same area. we have seen some out in cinco but that is so far. commuter rail! I believe that my friends did rent next to Stratford. Yea Spring Woods vs Memorial Parkway is toss up between locale and schooling. I liked MP, but there are other schools that you can petition for such as Beck or Garland. Im saying this bc I dont know the quality of MP anymore, but when I went there it was great. Taylor has always been a great school as well. Looking back though, it could have been harder. Well, I wish it was harder. Supposedly they have increased curriculum at the schools though. In spring branch, it would have to be closer in at Memorial middle. I still believe it is closer in travel time though. Our HOA is pretty nice. if youre one to not mow your lawn or leave trash out early, than you would not like it. haha. also BL HOA was the one to stop METRO from extending the park and ride to south of the freeway (now where BP plans expansion). so that was an excellent win. I do think that our HOA also pushed the judge to final ruling of the erotic establishments being x number of feet away from schools. we had trouble that you could see them from the wolfe playground when I was a kid. but thats in the clear now. also our HOA is working with BP for long term planning of the area. BP doesnt have to talk to us but they have been most generous as our neighborhood has a high per capita of BP employees. It too is likely that the north wall of BL will be replaced with a uniform brick fence. When that happens the HOA might take ownership of the wall though. It now belongs to the homeowners. BP says they will finance a portion of it but what portion we do not know. I dont know how much youre interested but BL and likely the other neighborhoods have women's and men associations inside the neighborhood. In order to get to know one another better and have some downtime from work, etc. They are get togethers at local country clubs and the houses in the neighborhood. A newsletter is issued every month for BL regarding what all is going on in the neighborhood. It is also posted on the website. Also if you live out here you must join the Westlake Club or Memorial Athletic Center. Well you dont have to but if youre into fitness nothing beats it. The security patrol in our neighborhood is awesome. for the fact that I can call them to help me with a battery jump for my car or walk my house/take care of pets when we are on vacation. All the guys that have worked for the neighborhood have been great. Especially when I was teenager and we used to hang out with him at the front of the neighborhood and pay him off with pizza to look the other way when we were throwing parties or doing stuff that kids do. Fleetwood and Memorial Thicket have roaming patrol as well. Memorial Thicket is more secure with the single entrance and the same goes for the first Fleetwood with backs up to BL. Though I have seen the Fleetwood patrol guy sleeping it up on occasion, but likely they all have once or twice. The only houses that I would watch out for/avoid in our area are the ones on the far west side of the Fleetwood south of Memorial. They are really huge but Kickerillo did a number on those houses and they have all had problems. From what I know, BP plans to build a new child development center that will likely encompass a full time elementary school. BL and other residents are petitioning to be able to join even if they do not work at BP. And garbage pickup is every Wednesday and Saturday by a private firm. Theres also heavy trash and recycling days as well. I know there is no restriction on whether a resident should put out bags or have a trash can. I can go on and on about BL. But it is nothing if you dont actually see the houses and drive the neighborhood to see that everyone here is riding their bikes, walking, or jogging at all times of the day and always with a smile on their face.

you dont think that theres enough rider capacity from energy corridor to memorial city (the new med center) to galleria? the line stops of energy, mc, and the 610 transit center. farther west could be park and ride on kingsland. especially if lines are put down 90, 290, 249. Putting one down 10 would connect the entire west. that is if the other lines are constructed. but of what they say about the new city centre development or even the mc developments I believe that there will be enough capacity. but yes I see how it would be costly to implement one. where is the row? unless they raise or it or strip the center lane ideas but thats not goin to happen.

after the katy project is finished, will there still be room for a commuter rail? or will it likely have to be raised rail? it boggles me where the row would be found.

the only thing is to apply to be reassigned to Stratford and the middle school. Two of my friends asked for it and Katy and Spring Branch granted it. I think that they may have rented an apartment in the district during that time though. That is always something to consider. Rent an apartment in that school district and use that as the kids' home address. I always hated the fact that I had to drive so far out to Taylor when I was in HS and had to be bused out to Memorial Parkway. Other than the drive though, both were great schools. There is no denying that. There is also private. Some catholic schools are close (I believe Pope John for elementary). and of course village, the montessories (one is down the corner on grisby and addicks howell), and I believe that they plan to open the BP Childrens Center for all residents of the area. Nottingham Forest has a high crime rate? I did not know that. I know that they plan to change the Kendall Branch library into a police substation after the move. or at least thats what Council woman Holm wants to do. Also there are talks concerning BL about the increased traffic flow once BP is finished. The HOA wants to do as much in lieu of gating the neighborhood as they can. one idea which was proposed is to construct guard towers at the entrances to the neighborhood. They remain city streets but it will stop the flow from those cutting through to Memorial. All of this is on the barkers landing website though under the BP heading. http://www.barkerslanding.org and the energy corridor website http://www.energycorridor.org or the less visited http://www.energycorridor.info There is another house on rock cove for sale as well at 602 Rock Cove going for $395k but it is 3442/8136. It was nicely remodeled though. The water heater burst and flooded the house so the homeowners decided to remodel the entire thing. Really nice. But it does fit your parameters for lot size.

803 SOBODA CT 3700/10636 (Thornwood) 703 QUEENSMILL CT 4137/12238 (Fleetwood) 615 FAIRPORT 3919/13160 (Barkers Landing) 13302 APPLE TREE RD 3169/10557 (Nottingham) 14911 CAROLCREST ST 3184/10500 (Westchester) 14130 HEATHERFIELD DR 3429/13980 (Memorial Dr Acres) 14207 KELLYWOOD LN 3379/15420 (Nottingham) 15014 TURKEY TRAIL CT 4346/11035 (Turkey Trail Estates) 15010 TURKEY TRAIL CT 4473/11259 (Turkey Trail Estates) 626 W FOREST DR 3729/12467 (Yorkshire) prices range from $385k-595k. also I can recommend one house: 607 ROCK COVE 4100/9266 (its mine)- Barkers Landing of the others I will also recommend 14911 Carolcrest. It was my brother's in laws' former home. Great renovations/remodel. The new owner wants to move to a farm or something. beats me. It is in the Westchester subdivision. If you know where the St John Vianney Catholic Church is, its right behind there. finally, 615 Fairport. It has been on the market quite a will. Its around the corner from our house in BL. but 607 Rock Cove is your safest bet. hehe. Sorry, 803 Soboda Ct is 350k

what size lot are you looking for? what size house are you looking for?

in the 80s I mean my friends parents bought their house for like 70k in 88 or 89. a house today which is likely worth close to 400-500k

thanks. I tried contacting meeks partners but they never returned my phone call. the guy lives in my neighborhood. I should just ring his doorbell. haha. the church seems to be making use of the trees in the area. hopefully the development continues that way.

that is true but would a developer build class A apartments so close to low income housing? in the enclave-eldridge corridor sueba has built away from the class b and c apartments that are housed next to the village school. it would be a nice retail center but I was only commenting on the corporate campus idea which was posted on the board. other utilizations will likely be better. there are areas north of i-10 which sbisd can use for a new stadium without interfering with reservoirs (eg britmoore).

the price of oil destroyed that area.

did Sysco own the land on the east side of enclave? likely they got some tax abatement if they developed something new or to that standing. or didnt know what do with the cash or long-term debt they had. you know it was them that burned down that house a couple of years ago that sat on briar forest. I would like to see what property that how encompassed. but still no one knows what is happening at eldridge and memorial? I havent seen any renderings of the the library yet. they said that it was to involve terry hershey though. the old library I think is going to be turned into an hpd substation. at least this is what the residents of nottingham forest want it to be turned into.

Sysco is new building that was just built on enclave. Also theyre building something on their old hq site. dont know what it is. anyone here know? There is other development on Enclave thats supposed to be starting this Fall but those signs have been there for ages. Also polydoros is a horrible developer. just throwing that out there. The new center on eldridge enclave looks like it is going to be nice. any renderings? I dont believe they have torn down the trees there. what Im goin to hate is when parkway develops the lot on the northwest side of enclave and eldridge. those trees are amazing. the new public library is supposed to built just south of the bank of america drive thru on the banks of terry hershey. and I do not know what is goin on at the site on eldridge which meeks partners is planning. theres been streets put through but I dont know what its supposed to be. a church went up on the west side of the lot. and memorial hermann owns all that land so we will see. the development north of the freeway on eldridge is a spec building.

yes a corporate campus next to a school is a great idea. I highly doubt it would work out. The closest corporate campus is north a few miles for conoco but it has no impact on Stratford. That use would cause too much of a traffic hazard in the area and more ROW. If it was created into housing, it would be low income (see the area). Unless the person that utilizes area also buys the apartments and surrounding townhomes, etc and redevelops it. What I want to know is what is katy isd going to do with the land off hwy 6?

it doesnt say whether theyre working with the city centre development team. who is doing city centre again? I believe it is in the plans for city centre to build a hotel as well. if so that is a lot of capacity for memorial city. hopefully theres people to fill the rooms

shouldnt you nominate kickerillo? olde oaks and ponderosa forest were incredible neighbors (haha). I mean he didnt use shabby construction at all. we should wonder about the vintage...

the new expansion of BP (8000 new jobs) and the katy freeway will see the area skyrocket. it will be like greenway plaza and west university. hopefully. you will also see a lot of houses in the coming future up for sale for this reason. those older generations that cannot afford the taxes on the new appraisals and the families that bought the homes in the late 80s for around $70k will be unable to pay. then comes a newer generation of people looking to spend money in memorial. likely the land around wolfe elementary will be developed into a mixed junior high and high school. either private or public depending on what katy isd does. the area does not flood (except for hard rains in fleetwood- Allison like). it has the 2 reservoirs and a detention plain (old addicks school lot). likely housing prices have not risen bc of katy isd and the trend westward has yet to reach the area. it is still a steal for the new development to come. but the area bets on energy prices more so than any other. the houses usually range upwards of $100 psf. that is still a great price to pay for area. in terms of katy isd, parents dont like the idea of paying this much money and busing their kids 15 miles to junior high and high schools. it should be zoned to spring branch. at present, wolfe elementary is a lackluster school with test scores deemed paltry by comparison. with a median income in the area of around $110k I think wolfe should be a better school (like it was when I went there). just as the council woman should be pam holm instead of traci lawrence (District G instead of A) the area is not defined in the right parameters. 80-90% of children in the area go to private school. other than that, the area is incredible.

nevermind. I believe this to be a scraped plan of what the dominion at post was supposed to look like. unless prime residential (whiteco) has assessed new land then this is dominion. sorry for getting your hopes up

I believe I found the plan for this building or another one that will be built? It is only 21 stories though http://www.meekspartners.com/projects_deta...ulti&pos=11 if this isnt it, where do you think the location is?

if you really wanted to know, its A school- where they send the kids who get kicked out of reg high school getting caught with weed in your locker or being high as hell on pills or coke (Taylor) is the primary reason kids get sent there. and of course alcohol and fights (both equally awesome)

your fear is that market is going to be saturated with existing units? so no one to rent/buy I agree with you in the terms that too many developers are going high end with their apartment developments. in the bus section a few sundays ago, some [developers] were bragging about installing granite and building elaborate community centers stocked with plasmas and starbucks outlets (kidding with the latter). Im all for the community aspect of the apartment complex but I believe most just want to live there and only deal with the neighbors when they make too much noise. I think the market will become saturated with high end apartment developments. but the new generation graduating college in these next few years is different and most of them enjoy the idea of the high end complex. its my opinion though that apartments were built so that college grads wouldnt have to live with their parents after graduating. if the new notion is that these kids will shell out over 1500/mo for a 600-700 sq ft apartment then by all means build. but if history proves us right, theyre looking for the deal rather than the loft. they did just graduate college- you know? the saturation will help existing complexes and lower the value of new townhome developments. single family home prices may be adversely effected but likely in the category of the ones which rent for 1500/mo in the area of the new spur of development.
