Living in Mid West makes running errands an easy task. Situated between the Buffalo Bayou and Westpark Tollway, this neighborhood offers stores and restaurants of all kinds. One can find residential subdivisions surrounded by local businesses and locally owned establishments, along with one of the fastest routes to Houston’s biggest shopping centers, the Galleria Mall.
Traditional ranch-style homes are among the most prevalent and range from $350,000 to $700,000 in price. Recently built contemporary-style homes sit in small gated subcommunities and offer designs intended to be more energy efficient than other local offerings, using features like UV-blocking windows and climate sealing. These homes range from $350,000 to $550,000. The largest properties in the area are situated north of Westheimer Road, are between 4,500 square feet and 5,500 square feet in size, and sell for $1 million to $2 million.
“One place that everyone likes to go to is the Galleria Mall,” says Joely Trijo, Leasing Professional at Summervale Apartments. The Galleria is a little over 2 miles from Mid West via Westheimer Road and offers hundreds of stores and restaurants. Residents running errands also have many shopping and dining options within the community. Popular retailers include Aldi on the west side of Westheimer Road and the Walmart Supercenter on the east side. Mid West hosts a diverse range of locally owned dining and shopping outlets like Nara Café, a bistro and hookah spot that offers its visitors games like cards while they eat popular dishes like lamb chops. Around a mile and a half away is the Westchase District Farmers Market, where shoppers can find locally sourced goods. “Each Thursday when we open, we have different shops selling different products from week to week. If a customer doesn’t like our selection one week, they can come back next week and there’ll be new options to choose from,” says Sherry Fox, Vice President of Communications for the Westchase District.
Mid West has three main thoroughfares that split the neighborhood into six parts. Fondren Road splits the community down the middle from north to south and is connected to the other two thoroughfares. Westheimer Road and Richmond Avenue are in the northern and southern parts of the area, respectively. Westheimer Road is where the majority of the community’s shopping and dining outlets reside. “Westheimer Road has all the shops but that also means the traffic during the day can get really bad,” says Trijo. Richmond Avenue, in contrast, provides the most access to the neighborhood’s residential sections. Bus stops line these streets to provide easy access to public transit.
Rasmus Park is the largest of the four local parks at 9 acres on Mid West's south side and provides a concrete walking trail, playgrounds, a baseball field, and a picnic space with grills. The 3-acre Briarbend Park is among the most popular green spaces in the community for its access to the 26-mile Buffalo Bayou Paddling Trail via a kayak ramp. Visitors enjoy the park’s playground, walking trail, and picnic space. In the southwest corner of the neighborhood sits Tanglewilde Park. The park provides another concrete walkway, playground and a sheltered picnic area. Finally, Briarmeadow Park has many of the same amenities as its counterparts, along with a tennis court.
Houston Independent School District, rated B by Niche, is the largest public school system in Texas. Mark White Elementary School offers a one-of-a-kind French language immersion program and has a B-minus Niche rating. Briarmeadow Charter School is in the southeast part of the community and offers an A-minus Niche rating along with school uniforms and a 15:1 student-to-teacher ratio. Wisdom High School sits on Hillcroft Avenue and scores a C on Niche.
Every January, Houston hosts the Chevron Houston Marathon, which runs through Post Oak Boulevard, a little over 2 miles from Mid West, allowing residents to cheer on participants as they test their endurance.
