If the heart of Houston is the inner loop area, the pulse is in the Galleria where businesses, prestigious neighborhoods, restaurants, and clubs thrive. 

• Interstate 10 east to downtown, west to the energy corridor
• West Loop (610 inner loop circling the city)
• US 59 southwest and northeast
• Highway 290 west to Austin
• I-45 north from downtown, and south to Galveston 

 The Galleria area is so vast and inclusive there are countless housing options including apartments, town homes, patio homes, high rises, and single-family residences. The area is best known for its gated private neighborhoods, small enclaves, and towering high rise apartment homes overlooking the bustling center of commerce and fun. The Galleria, a huge shopping mall featuring major department stores and boutiques, is at the area's center. 

The Galleria features some of the finest restaurants in all of Houston, some of the most sophisticated shopping malls and villages, and it's less than five minutes from the Compaq Center, the home of the Houston Rockets. Downtown Houston and a host of cultural attractions are a short drive away.
