Living big next to Memorial Park
From weekly meetups for the garden club to hosting the Spring Block Party, these activities are just glimpses into Crestwood-Glen Cove's sense of community. "We have a great mix of residents who enjoy being neighbors," says Charlie Bingham, President of the Crestwood Glen Cove Civic Club. Previously a training camp for soldiers named Camp Logan, the land was repurposed into Memorial Park in the 1900s, offering numerous recreational activities like hiking, sports and yoga classes. Residents also benefit from the proximity to an elementary school within the neighborhood and a country club. Five miles from downtown Houston, the area offers luxury homes boasting access to botanical gardens, fine dining, shopping and the arts. "Crestwood really has all the benefits of the big city without living in a concrete jungle," Bingham adds.
