Fact is if you live in or near the loop you're not going to heaven anyway

Didn’t realize there were so many Oak Forest/Garden Oaks baws on TD. We’ll have to get at any place not named Walking Stick.

We live in Timbergrove, we’re moving out of HISD first kid will enroll in Kinder Aug 2023.

We’re zoned to Sinclair which is at or just below Oak Forest level. We heard the quality dropped since covid. Kids still wearing masks. I’d do lots of research to avoid buying there getting frustrated and sending your kids to private.

That’s a good one! Of course, they also won’t do much for the community!

I live in Cypress and am not going to comment on OF other than there is massive growth and continued gentrification. Very up and coming. Lots of restaurants, bars, etc. From people I know that live in that area, it’s a younger area than The Heights. Y’all will probably like it a lot.

Now on to churches...not recommending any, but I’m also a bit of a backslidden baptist. I think you’ll find that overall in every single thing, Houston is less conservative than BR. In town definitely skews pretty liberal, but most people are in the middle. Houston is very much a place of you do you and I’ll do me and everybody is good. It’s just a very accepting, live and let live, non judgy place. I think that’s why we don’t really have riots like other big cities.

Welcome to the neighborhood! Note or south of 34th? We are also zoned to OFE. You pay a premium for it, and will still need to send to private after elementary, unless Black middle turns more.

Can’t help you with churches, but a lot of the good places have been named.

Great neighborhood, friendly neighbors. Hang out at the parks and meet some neighbors. Krogers gets the job done, but HEB in the heights is much better.

Gatlins is legit

Trivia to win pie at Great Heights is fun. You’re less than 10 minutes from the fun Heights bars and restaurants.

Property crime seems rampant. I’m just south of you in Timbergrove and it seems way worse in Oak Forest.

OF/GA baws. Email me at my screen name at gmail for an invite to my crawfish boil this fall.

ETA if you sprinkle crawfish don’t come.
