Central to Houston
Vintage vibes meet modern-day living in Meadowbrook-Allendale, a community established just before World War II that continues to grow with the times. "It's a pretty central location. The only thing that takes longer than 20 minutes is Galveston Island, which takes 35 minutes. We have this calm and peaceful place, but we're not too far from the fun," says Michelle Miranda, vice president of the Oaks Meadows Civic Club and 26-year resident. Meadowbrook-Allendale is home to several major chemical plants and an industrial area, but this is balanced by the greenbelt along the Sims Bayou to the west. Directly south of the neighborhood is William P. Hobby Airport, which may create some air traffic sound occasionally but certainly only adds to the area's convenience.
Beyond academics, Park Place Elementary School encourages students to explore their passions.
Meadowbrook-Allendale has an artistic spirit as can be seen in different murals in the area.

Houston pollution is very bad. Also, there is trash everywhere; an unusually large amount. Traffic is terrible no matter what time of day it is.

There is only one bar in the area, and that is down my street but it seems unapproachable.

It's an average place, people are friendly. Where I live there is crime but that is to be expected everywhere. I enjoy living where I am now because it holds memories of my family and me.
