shaernurse Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Do you think Oak Forest or Garden Oaks will ever get a HEB. Would love to see one in the old Northwest Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 There been rumors that HEB bought the sears property on Shepard I would love if they renovate the HEB on 18th street and also consider expanding it by using the former walgreen spot next door.

Yes, it is still open and serving the Greater Heights, Timbergrove, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest area. I buy tools and such there, plus many of our appliances came from that location.

OldHouseLover Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Check out the Eastwood area of the East End in SE part of town. It's in the shadows of UH campus across freeway from UH down Cullen. OakForest is in NW part of town, not convenient to UH [unless downtown campus]. With light rail in East End, you have more options than in the past. Flipping & builders doing urban renewal gives the Harris & surrounding appraisal districts reason to up values, taxes increase [especially on rental property...no homestead exemptions] & insurance follows with increased costs. I'm not being negative about urban renewal, just being honest. After 50 yrs in the rental business, the cycles keep rolling. What's hot today, may be cold tomorrow. As Kenny Rogers sang "you gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run". Big decision with my grey hair & price of oil per barrell [which makes Houston tick]. I wish you well in your search. Being native Houstonian & having had property in East End, I'd pack a lunch & drive the East End as many rentals are not on Multiple Listing, just signs in yard [as I do]. Many think East End not safe, I never had problems in the 30 yrs I owned property there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBC2HTX Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Anyone able to provide more recent insight on Oak Forest West, including Mangum Manor, Forest Pines and Forest West? Wife and I are looking at homes in the area (since our money goes further here) and think the area is prime for appreciation, particularly the homes outside of the floodplain.
