re: Anyone here live in Bluebonnet Highlands?

A friend pointed this thread out to me yesterday but I didn't get a chance to respond until now.

I've lived on Hillpark for a little over 3 years. I really like the neighborhood. Seems to be mostly young families on my street or retirees with no kids. As others have said, it's nice having easy access to Bluebonnet (Mall, Parkins Rowe, various restaurants, 2 theaters) and you can get to the Siegen area quick as well. The neighborhood also feels pretty safe.

Before they built the Walmart I was opposed to it, but now that it's there I kind of love it. It seems to be nicer than most of the other Walmart's I've been in and it's easy getting in an out of it. Super convenient if you need to pick up something at any hour of the day.

I would say the cons are that pockets of crime still crop up occasionally, though that's nearly anywhere in BR. The yards are very small, but having the soccer field out there really helps. If my kids and I need more space to play something, we just go grab an empty field to play on (there's also 2 baseball fields, some fishing ponds, and a dog park there). I also wish there was a closer restaurant other than the La Carreta's.

Oh, and it'd be nice if the neighborhood had more trees and shade. Of course, when a big storm comes through like last week, I'm happy we don't have many.

I hope that helps.
