The heart of Houston’s energy sector

Houston is known as the Energy Capital of the World, and the heartbeat of the city’s fuel industry is centered in the Energy Corridor. Major companies like Shell, ConocoPhillips and BP have headquarters in the Energy Corridor, creating thousands of jobs in the district. Aside from being one of the leading employment hubs in the country, the Energy Corridor also offers diverse housing, an array of local restaurants, and proximity to some of Houston’s biggest parks. The Texas Legislature has spent two decades promoting economic development and entertainment in the area, making it a viable home base for Houston residents who work in and out of the energy sector.

Eldridge Parkway hosts dozens of local eateries

While the Energy Corridor is known as a fuel and energy hub, the retail part of the neighborhood has plenty of restaurants and businesses for locals to enjoy outside of work. Eldridge Parkway has multiple restaurants, including Tex-Mex at Pecan Creek Grille, sushi at Aka Japanese Cuisine and dessert from Kolache Factory. Memorial Collection Center on Dairy Ashford Road is a small shopping center with Kroger and Randalls grocery stores, a bookstore, a pet supply store and a hobby shop. CityCentre, a retail center with upscale clothing, beauty and home goods stores, is just off the Sam Houston Tollway.
Located at 1510 Eldridge Pkwy, it's a local gem for Texan cuisine enthusiasts.

Townhomes and mansions away from the energy business hub

The residential parts of the Energy Corridor offer a medley of options, from townhomes in gated communities to postmodernist properties with clean, geometric facades and sprawling Tudor and French-influenced homes with pitched roofs, arching doorways and turrets. Prices range from $300,000 for a small ranch house to $700,000 for a large Tudor-inspired home. A few large properties over 4,000 square feet can sell for close to $1 million. While these homes differ in appearance, they are all in similar neighborhoods with looping cul-de-sacs and small yards. These residential streets are tucked away from the main business district along the interstate.

Bordered by Bear Creek and George Bush Parks

Thousands of acres of green space surround the office space in the Energy Corridor. Bear Creek Pioneers Park borders the Energy Corridor to the north of Interstate 10 and contains nearly 50 sports fields and courts, an equestrian trail and even a small zoo. To the west is George Bush Park, which stretches 7,800 acres. Some of the park’s features include jogging trails, playgrounds and a 500-acre shooting range. In the center of the Energy Corridor is Terry Hershey Park on Memorial Drive, which has 11 miles of hiking trails and runs parallel to part of the 53-mile-long Buffalo Bayou. “In Houston, we’re used to flat land, but the trail system is real hilly and has lots of trees and is a nice relaxing walk,” says Thalia Guderyon, a Realtor with Compass RE Texas who has over 20 years of experience selling homes in Houston.

Corporate headquarters line I-10

Employees working in the Energy Corridor can either commute via I-10, which runs through the area’s business district, or on a METRO bus. There are several bus stops along I-10 Frontage Road as well as Memorial Drive, Grisby Road, and Eldridge Parkway, which all cut through the residential parts of the area. MD Anderson West Houston is also along I-10 and offers some of the best cancer treatment programs in the state.

Houston, Katy and Spring Branch Schools intersect in the Corridor

The Energy Corridor crosses into three different Texas Independent School Districts -- Houston, Katy and Spring Branch. The Katy Independent School District is the highest-rated local school system. It earned an overall A-plus score and the title of the best school district in the Houston area from Niche. Within this district, Maurice L. Wolfe Elementary School and Mayde Creek High School both have an A-minus rank on Niche, and Mayde Creek Junior High School scores an A. However, some schools in the zoned districts are several miles away from the Energy Corridor, which can cause some challenges for local parents. “What usually happens is that kids go to the elementary school that’s close, and then by the time they get to middle school, their parents will either switch to private schools or think about moving because the middle and high schools are so far away,” Guderyon says. The Energy Corridor is also within 20 miles of two universities, Houston Christian University and Texas Women’s University.
Maurice L. Wolfe Elementary School provides a vibrant learning environment for students.
