Spin off from this thread: //www.city-data.com/forum/houst...l#post17013424

One person believes that Southwest Houston is anything from I-10 down to 59, over to Downtown. I say that the far northern boundary of Southwest Houston is Westheimer at best going down to 59. I go by this map:

Though, I'd extend the northern boundary to Richmond. Anyway, according to the thread I linked, Memorial City Mall is in Southwest Houston according to one poster. My question is, do you believe the Memorial City Mall area is Southwest Houston, or do you just call those areas simply "West Houston". What are your boundaries for SW Houston?

I think Southwest Houston Area is everything outside of Loop 610 and between it and Beltway 8 and in between I-10 & US 59. So that would be Missouri City, Stafford, Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenburg, & the likes.

I have always thought of Memorial City area to be Western Houston.

Seems like that would include Memorial City also.

South of Westpark and West of 288. Anything within that area is what I consider southwest.

Just like River Oaks ways always River Oaks and Tanglewood was always Tanglewood. They are all in Southwest Houston. Nobody ever heard of West Houston. Katy was Katy and anything north of Katy road was Srang Branch.

west and southwest are not mutually exclusive. the issue at hand here is :
Are westheimer and the other areas you mentioned in the SW, and the answer is yes.
The west covers the northwest and the southwest. notice how both of them have WEST in their names

it will be easier on you if you just admit that

geez what are they teaching in schools these days?

I don't know because I use downtown as the center and pretty much anything diagonally southwest of Downtown is what I consider southwest.

Katy Rd seems a little too far up to be called southwest.

its been the boundary for as long as Crone can remember.
The greater southwest chamber of commerce uses that as their boundary.

I think I trust those two sources the most. did you take a look at the website from the chamber of commerce??
