These homes are also just across the highway from neighborhoods like Hunter's Creek Village, and the houses clustered in this area are generally priced higher. Here, homeowners are within minutes of the nearby Memorial City Mall. Residents further north need to travel slightly farther to enjoy the same amenities, but these residents also enjoy access to the many parks that populate northern Spring Branch.
Homebuyers will find that this neighborhood is, on average, pricier than much of Houston. However, prices are fairly consistent with surrounding neighborhoods. Positioned closely to some of the more affluent areas of the city, Spring Branch boasts more than a few multi-bedroom homes in elaborate designs that command a higher purchase price.
For residents who would prefer to stay in the neighborhood for their dining, there are several restaurants along Long Point Road, which cuts down the middle of Spring Branch. True to Houston's diverse roots, residents will find Mexican, Thai, and even Honduran restaurants at which to dine.

Patio bars are beloved in Houston, and there are a few on opposing ends of the neighborhood where residents can enjoy dinner and a drink. It's an otherwise peaceful part of town where most Fridays are spent at one of the many restaurants around the area. However, residents are also close enough to nearby Washington Avenue that they can easily enjoy a late evening on the town if they want.
Along Interstate 10, residents can quickly head east for a visit to Memorial Park. Popular running trails cut through the area, and there's also an arboretum in the southern part of the park. The local tennis center and golf course also make for popular destinations on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Along 290, residents can be carried toward Cypress, while along the Interstate 10 route, travellers can head west toward Katy or east toward the downtown area.
