Get Acquainted with Houston by Lisa Zapalac
Growth is a widely used term to describe Houston – and it’s happening in the Suburbs – from the South to the North – there’s an endless list of premier master-planned communities and cozy neighborhoods offering everything from affordable homes to first-time buyers to custom, upscale style. Often referred to as micro-metro’s – Houston’s developers have designed communities offering the best in top education, entertainment and social amenities.
Houston’s city government has a no-zoning commercial/residential policy and over 20 major management HUB Districts.
Super 88
Houston City Management has divided Houston into 88 Super Neighborhoods; the geographic breakdown of these community clusters are based on “look-alike” infrastructures, the resident’s needs and the demographic density of the local population.
Each of the Super Neighborhoods has a local council comprised of residents who meet and discuss needs, problems, risks and opportunities. The communication to City Council is a first-hand experience given through the eyes of an actual resident from that neighborhood.
