Under the pine cover outside Houston’s North Loop
Eastex-Jensen has a second name – Houston’s "Super Neighborhood 46," where businesses and civic organizations come together to form a large community. The neighborhood is outside the North Loop and consists of native pines and residential subdivisions dotted between community parks and local markets. Residents can also spot some standout landmarks like La Luz Del Mundo Houston Central, an ornate Greco-Roman church complete with a soaring golden dome on top. The neighborhood is also in a prime location that is less than 15 miles from both downtown Houston and the George Bush Intercontinental Airport. “The area is perfectly situated between the middle of downtown and, on the south side, Spring and The Woodlands,” says Cory Gutowski, a Realtor with Key 2 Texas. “In my experience, residents are so close-knit because they grew up here and have family members who still live in the area.”

Eastex-Jensen is just a few minutes away from Downtown Houston.
I-69, I-610 and Eastex Freeway connect to the metro
It is easy for residents to commute from Eastex-Jensen to downtown Houston, which is 10 miles away, or head to George Bush Intercontinental Airport, about 15 miles away. The neighborhood has some Ride METRO bus stops along main streets like Jensen Drive and Little York Road, and drivers have quick access to Interstates 69 and 610, as well as thoroughfares like Hardy Toll Road and Eastex Freeway. However, Eastex Freeway is one of the most common sites of crime in the area, particularly robbery. This gives Eastex-Jensen a CAP index score that is higher than the national average overall crime rate. “We work hard to have relationships with our local law enforcement and to make sure people know what to do to be safe, but like any part of the city, there are parts people know to be cautious around,” says Lucia Talley, a member of the local Sunbeam Curry Civic Club.
