The Best Neighborhoods in Houston to Spend a Weekend
Houston is colossal. Spanning 9,444 square miles from The Woodlands to Sugar Land and beyond, it’s just smaller than Massachusetts, and bigger than the entire state of New Jersey. That’s a lot of area to cover, especially if you’re trying to do it in one weekend. So, you may want to consider sticking to one ‘hood, and getting to know it really, really well. Whether you’re visiting for just a few days or are simply in search of new grounds to stomp, we’ve got a guide to the city’s best neighborhoods to hangout in. Dig deep into one of these five spots, and over the course of a weekend you’ll find hikes, museums, fun things to do, and, since this is Houston and we’re totally awesome, unbeatable food and drink.
