NOW, THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS LEARNED THAT THE CITY AND HPD ARE ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BECOME INVOLVED THAT I NOW BELIEVE IT WILL BE SOON THAT OUR COMMUNITY WILL RISE IN THE STATISTICS AND WILL LEARN THE IMPORTANCE OF A VOTE AND HOW IT MAKES A CHANGE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF US ALL!

Resource Assessment

Meadowbrook/Allendale is located on Houston’s southeast edge bounded by the cities of Pasadena and South Houston, Loop 610, the Gulf Freeway, and the Ship Channel. The northern part of the community is home to several major chemical plants. The southern corner, which was once an oilfield, is now an industrial area. Several wooded neighborhoods with single-family homes are nestled in between. The oldest areas, Meadowbrook and Allendale, were built before World War II. After the war, Forest Oaks and Oak Meadows were built for Houston’s growing population of middle-income citizens. The newest addition to the area, Meadowcreek Village, contains the largest homes in the community.
