Westbranch provides Houston homebuyers with an active neighborhood in a convenient location in the city. Located along Beltway 8 and near Interstate 10, which makes the commute downtown or to the Energy Corridor for work easy. On top of its location, Westbranch offers multiple green spaces that help anchor community gatherings, including the pool at the Westbranch Recreation Center. “I know it is cliche, but the location is just really tough to beat,” says Quinn Luong, a former neighborhood resident and sales associate with Coldwell Banker Realty. “It has effortless access to I-10 and Beltway 8, and it's just an easy five-minute drive to CityCentre. The neighborhood has a fairly affordable homeowners association that plans community events, like the annual Easter Egg Hunt.”

Variety of architectural styles in Westbranch
Wide streets are donned with whitewashed sidewalks and shaded by palmetto palms and magnolias. The community was originally built in the 1970s but saw additional construction in the 1990s. While development has stopped on the residential side, commercial developments have been springing up more recently. Buyers can choose brick ranch homes with two-car garages, split-levels with hipped roofs, Craftsman-bungalows, or Colonial Revivals on average-sized lots with fenced-in yards. Prices from $155,000 to $393,000 based on condition and size. “Houses fly off the market like hotcakes when things go for sale here because it is not very often that they do. The housing inventory is older, and not much real estate development has happened here,” Luong says. It's home to multiple places of worship, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.
