I was wondering what the general consensus was on the Inwood Forest area. I realize there are some apartments in the area that are a bit troublesome but the homes and the neighbor look great.

Maybe after a bunch of bulldozers take care of everything. After an attempted carjacking in the 90s, we moved and haven't been back there but maybe 3 or 4 times since, and only during the day. It continued to go down, down, down. We lived on Desoto in some (formerly) nice apartments (86-87), in a townhouse by the golfcourse (87-88), and in a home in Inwood North (88-96). We have friends that still live over there, but once they retire in a couple of years, they are moving.

why not? They have ran out the 3rd ward folks off 288 by the old CLC campus with expensive townhomes...

4th ward has all but evaporated

The Heights is known for the heights of the housing costs as they're bulldozing every small home for 10 townhomes

The key with Inwood is what happens around it as it mirrors Fondren

Unlike 3rd Ward, there's nothing adjacent that Inwood could ever hitch its wagon to. It's surrounded in all directions by lower income, low value property. Perhaps 50 to 100 years from now, when Houston is home to 20 million people, could gentrification finally spread that far to encompass Inwood.

Sometimes you just have to write off an area. Inwood was ahead of its time, but time has unfortunately run out.

The adjacent benefits are not there now but it might be in the future.
Low income neighborhoods today might be rebound neighborhoods tomorrow.

Acres homes will never rebound.
