Downtown-adjacent living at its best! This home puts you: - Minutes from Galleria, Medical Center, Memorial Park - Close to universities, sports venues, and top eateries - Near craft breweries, aquarium, and Houston Zoo - 10-15 min from Hobby Airport, 8.2 miles from George Bush Airport (IAH) Historical information First Ward is located within one mile of downtown Houston, and it is considered to be one of the city’s most historic wards. It was initially the center of Houston’s business district, and it is deliberately located at the intersection of White Oak Bayou and Buffalo Bayou. First Ward was created in 1840, and it is one of the first four original wards in Houston. So centrally located this is where you need to be if you need to be in Houston. Nearby all major Houston attractions and thoroughfares. Winter street has a rail line running on it which is occasionally used. Within walking distance to metro rail, bus stops, restaurants, taquerias, grocery stores, bars, and clubs. A quick cheap uber ride to all inner loop Houston neighborhoods and close to all major freeways. Please check the digital guidebook we sent for full details.
