Public schools are part of Spring Branch Central's allure
With roots going back to 1830 as a German dairy farm settlement, Spring Branch Central has matured into a diverse community that appeals to just about everyone for its top-ranked public schools, multicultural shopping options and proximity to downtown Houston. “There are people from all over the world there,” says Magaly Guajardo, a Realtor with Re/Max Real Estate Associates, who’s been selling homes in the area for four years. “The area itself is a bit commercial. There are lots of restaurants and businesses. The schools there are very good and that’s what it’s most recognized for. There are a few districts in Houston that have a lot of bad reviews. Schools are an important factor for families when choosing a place to live.”

The neighborhood is quiet, not much gun fire for the city. Crime is low, houses are nice, and yards are for the most part kept nicely. Kids can pl;ay in the park at the center of the subdivision with no problems. Very little mischief going on. Neighbors wave as they walk or drive by. Very pleasant area.
