The neighborhood is going through a transformation. New construction over the past four years is changing the look of the community. It's like living in The Woodlands without the commute. The streets are very quiet and it's very private. Crestwood is five minutes from downtown and the Galleria.
Schools are probably the weak part of the neighborhood, if there is one.
Crestwood is zoned to Houston Independent School District's Memorial Elementary, Hogg Middle School and Lamar High School. Many children attend private schools such as Kincaid or St. John's. The nice thing about the neighborhood is that you have a lot of the original residents. These people planted the trees and selected the lumber to build the house. People get in here, they just don't want to get out.
