That is my usual response to the often asked question:
"What is going on in the Northside?"
Northside? Growing up that was the area from Downtown to Jack Rabbit Road and 75 over to Lake Houston and back to Downtown. Therefore, since some people when you say Northside may now want to include Tomball, Spring and The Woodlands I try to call where I live the Near Northside and quickly add for clarification, "Inside the Loop".
Greater Northside Chamber of Commerce has a lot going on in a big piece of that geography.
The Greater Northside Management District also has a lot going on
In my little section I try to pass along what I can:
North Central Civic Association on Facebook
and
Super Neighborhood 51
If you wish to find out how Super Neighborhoods and the Alliance are tasked with making your desires known to the Mayor and City Council you can explore that.
Avenue also has a lot going on around here. They have shepherded the Near Northside Quality of Life Agreement and the more recent report State of the Northside.
Our friend Jeff at January Advisors has made a lot of maps as have I and at the bottom of this blog post he wrote about Chapter 42 you will find a link for one that gives a pretty good idea of home ownership in the Near Northside.
Now if that is not enough for you and you are good with data here is a bunch of HCAD data for Super Neighborhood 51.
So, now you tell me, what is going on in the Northside?
