St. George Place - Uptown Livable Centers Study

We are creating a community-driven vision for St. George Place-Uptown. Whether you live, work, shop, or visit here, we want to hear about your experiences and ideas for the future of this area.

Your feedback will help identify opportunities to improve safety, connectivity, public spaces, housing choices, and neighborhood destinations.

About St. George Place-Uptown Livable Centers Study

St. George Place-Uptown is a vibrant neighborhood with a diverse population, thriving businesses, major destinations, and employment centers.

As the area continues to grow, this study will help create a community-driven vision for the future of St. George Place-Uptown by identifying opportunities to encourage economic vitality and investment, strengthen parks and public spaces, enhance multimodal transportation access, support housing choices, improve safety and accessibility, and celebrate neighborhood identity.

St. George Place-Uptown is a culturally, economically, and historically diverse community.

St. George Place-Uptown is located about six miles west of Downtown Houston, just outside the 610 Loop. The neighborhood includes a great mix of housing types, businesses, offices, parks and green space, and community destinations. Major corridors such as Westheimer Road, Richmond Avenue, Hillcroft Avenue, and Post Oak Boulevard connect residents and visitors to jobs, shopping, dining, services, and entertainment.

The study area includes destinations ranging from the luxury retail of the Galleria to Houston’s largest Flea Market. It is also home to Waterwall Park, one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, and Houston’s first dedicated bus rapid transit corridor. The area continues to experience economic growth, new residential development, increasing tourism, and reinvestment that are shaping its future.
