Trinity-Houston Gardens, an established community looking to the future
Trinity Gardens and Houston Gardens, collectively known as Trinity-Houston Gardens or “The Gardens,” is a network of small neighborhoods located in northeast Houston along Hunting Bayou. Trinity-Houston Gardens provides a sprawl of rural-urban living with a long-established community that takes care of its own. “My great-grandparents plotted their property here, and I live six blocks from my childhood home,” says Huey German-Wilson, a lifelong resident and founder of the Northeast Houston Redevelopment Council. “It’s a good blend of people who have been raised here and people that are moving in, and we’ve got lots of development in store. It’s almost rural, in a way. We still ride horses on the streets; one of my neighbors trains his horses just at the end of the block. I’ve lived in lots of suburbs, and it’s just not what we have out here.”
Midcentury homes among rural-urban streets
Most homes in Trinity-Houston Gardens were built in the 1950s and 1960s, with some historic residences dating back to the 1930s. The housing includes primarily detached homes, typically bungalows and ranch styles. Despite significant floods in the past decade, new plots continue to be created in The Gardens, signifying a shift in development. Older three-bedroom homes sell between $200,000 and $220,000, while rare, new contemporary properties sell between $225,000 and $250,000. Today, Trinity-Houston Garden residents still enjoy large lots compared to the average Houston lot. “It’s lush, green – to me, really beautiful,” German-Wilson says. “We have a lot of open ditches here. For the last 25 years, the city took the position that neighborhoods with open ditches didn’t need sidewalks, so we’ve been working with them to develop more sidewalks for us. We want everything to be more safely walkable, especially when the streets flood, and we’re going to make it happen.”

Getting creative to bring good food and new businesses to the neighborhood
Most businesses in Trinity-Houston Gardens are locally owned, with neighborhood grocery stores and several community pantries. Off Tidwell Road are big-name stops of Walgreens and Family Dollar. “The big fight is to get wholesome food in the area, which is why we started the community farmers market; we’ve had to get creative. We have people who’ve set up food trucks until brick-and-mortar places get developed,” German-Wilson explains. That being said, she mentions there are still some well-established restaurants in the area. Triple J’s Smokehouse has been serving authentic barbeque since 1994, while the family-run A&K Cake Shop packages fresh pastries daily.

Updated outdoor recreation in the community
Trinity Gardens Park and Rosewood Park are go-to pocket parks, and Busby Park notably went under a major renovation in 2018, now featuring a new playground, trails and pavilion. “We started it just as a concept, but we got a grant through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department,” says Lisa Johnson of the City of Houston General Services Department. “Neighborhood parks are the jewels of the park system. It sets a standard.” The Northeast Multi-Service Center is also irreplaceable for the community, offering countless resources, from parenting classes to family nutrition support and hands-on learning for urban agriculture.

Where residents go to chat with neighbors
The neighborhood thrives in community events, whether block parties or heading to the Northeast Community Farmers Market to mingle. In 2021, the Trinity Gardens Gospel Choir – part of the Trinity Gardens Church of Christ, a large worship anchor for the area – performed at the first annual Juneteenth celebration held in Trinity Gardens Park.

The street where I live is more quite then others. I live in a dead end area so a lot of cars don't come by. We do have a train close by so we here it from time to time.

Trinity garden definitely isn't pleasing to the eye. Its rough, through and through. However, often you run into those who are striving for more and actually work to better themselves. There are also so many people who are kind and want to make a difference; like thsoe is dog rescue. I have met so may people who actually want to help the overwhelming population is stray dogs in the neighborhood. It's definitely one of the down falls.
