Telge Entrance to Longwood


Quaint church at the crossroads in Cypress. This is where all the major roads intersect, forming a picturesque triangle. This would be an ideal spot for a real town center.

I love these pictures of your neighborhood. We've visited Houston before and was really impressed with the tree lined streets, neigborhood parks, and beautiful homes. Seems like a nice place to raise a family.......Hope to see more pictures.

Hey Mr football . . . That was great seeing the pics. Really gave me a feel for the community. Here in california homes would start from the 1 million mark to be in a place as nice as that. I have a home as a rental in Indian Village in Cypress I think it's called. Is that visable on the aerial map you posted? I chose it because there were a fair amount of trees as aopposed to some other communities I looked at which looked barren except for a few starter trees.
Where did you get the aerial picture?

[Mr. Football]

VILLAGE OF INDIAN TRAILS is due directly NW of Longwood. This satellite photo may have been taken prior to that community's development, but in this photo its in the forested area nw of the pushpin.

[aslowdodge]

Thanks for the map.

Looks very nice. What is the commute like from there to the med center? What do the HOA fees run?
