I have been living in this community since I moved to Texas after Hurricane Rita in 2006. They welcomed us with open arms and I've been embraced with nothing but love, support, and opportunities since living here. We are in a community known as Acres Home on the northside of Houston and I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else. We have an array of ages and ethnicities around me that influence and change my life daily. We have many means of transportation around this area including the Metro bus stop, ubers, cabs and safe sidewalks for bikers. We have community centers, schools k-12, a college, and living home all within walking distances.
This town has been my home and I love my home town so much I have meet many great and friendly people
There's all different ages
This is the area I grew up in and love. I've watched my elders live and thrive here . Some have passed away but quite a few are still here enjoying life and most of my clients have been in this area
