The Urban Oasis
The Calloway Park neighborhood is a part of the Riverside District’s southwest gateway, and is the District neighborhood closest to the Texas Medical Center’s central campus. Its neighborhood park and all of its streets and utilities were reconstructed in between 2008 and 2010.
This neighborhood gets its name from a park located within the neighborhood's borders. This park is named for a long-time resident of the Riverside District, octogenarian Yvette Calloway, who has worked tirelessly for the community most of her 80-plus years. Inside the park's landscaped perimeter, families will find playground equipment, picnic benches, lush landscaping, a pavilion, and water features. Ms. Calloway has been called "a jewel of Texas," and her namesake park reflects it.
Families will also appreciate the close proximity of several of the Houston Independent School District schools to the community. In fact, highly-regarded Thompson Elementary School is approaching an exemplary rating as one of the best in the entire city.
Just beyond the borders of the Calloway Park community, residents will find convenient access to many of Houston's major employment centers, most of the city's major transit ways and all the finest things the vibrant city of Houston has to offer.
Calloway Park is also less than ten minutes from the world-renowned Museum District, the Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theater, McGregor Park and Hermann Park, with its newly renovated golf course and clubhouse.
Calloway Park is bordered by Kelton Street on the north, Natchez Street on the south, Bowling Green Street on the West and Allegheny street on the East.
Homes in this neighborhood range in size from 1,400 to 2,200 square feet and start at an affordable $190,000.
