Hi there, I'm from Massachusetts and relocating to Houston for a job. I'm hoping to get some opinions on the following neighborhood:

1529 Wirt Rd, Houston --- Village Woods Condos.

How is the neighborhood's safety? Is there a lot of crime in the area? Obviously, all major cities have crime, but some neighborhoods can be better than others.

Any advice at all would be extremely helpful. The condo itself looks nice, but it's hard to tell about the actual surrounding neighborhood.

Thank you!

Uh...you are renting? Don't buy there. It's in the sketchy part of Spring Branch

Looking at google maps, these appear to either be the apartments right next to the Sonic and Kroger on Wirt or right near these apartments. I drive by them almost everyday and they look absolutely awful.

I wouldn't hesitate to live in the really beautiful neighborhoods near this location such as Brykerwoods or the the area a little west off Westview but not near these apartments.

stay away from the other side of 59. Some of those people over there are bad. Also don't go too far west on westheimer or southwest of Rice. There are these people called LP 7400ST their home is 7400 bissonnet but they go as far east as the 5000 block and as far north as Westheimer west of Dunvale rd. to commit crimes. They throw shoes at anyone wearing anything black.

Where are you working at in Houston and what's your budget. Usually people here can help suggest different areas to look at.
