West U is my ideal place in Houston. Cinco Ranch just sucks. The selection at the closest Macy's in West Oaks sucks. For the good, stylish (and more expensive) clothes, I am forced to drive to Memorial City Mall or preferably The Galleria locations. It seems Cinco Ranch doesn't have the higher incomes that support those two nice stores.
While I am happy that Houston is getting the recognition it deserves, and West U is really pretty, I'm not particularly fond of the area. It's just a little too "Leave It To Beaver" for me. An enclave is most certainly what that area is: a pocket of walkable, clean, quiet, and safe neighborhoods in the middle of a nasty, bustling, urban center.
"Had it been the fresh prince of palos verdes, things might be different."
LOL, oh my god, people in PV would die of embarrassment if such a show was made!!!!! They like their privacy, and the celebrities who live there deliberately do NOT want to live the Beverly Hills lifestyle. I remember all the fuss when Buddy Ebsen (a long time resident, you may remember him as Jed Clampett) wanted to produce a show up there. And plenty of people were up in arms when The Falcon and The Snowman came out. They only allowed one scene of RPV (the initial scene of teaching the falcon) and they were adamant that no signs or other identifying factors be seen in the shot so that lookyloos wouldn't try to find the park.
Then why do they have numbers? lol. Looks like a ranking to me.
I didn't even notice any numbers, heh. But anyway, notice how they seem to go out of their way to mention places from a lot of different cities? Gives you the impression that they're just taking what they think is the best neighborhood from each of a variety of cities and then pitting those against each other. It's not the same as saying, "these are the X best urban neighborhoods in the country, regardless of where they happen to be located."

Well, regardless of what their intentions were, I'm just glad that my city is finally getting some long overdue props.
I think I agree with this. While Park Slope (Brooklyn NY) is trendy in terms of housing stock it is not comparable to older communities like Brooklyn Heights or even the totally re-habed Upper West Side--which went through its own trendy days.
I lived in them all
