Park West

Set well west of the Westchase District proper, Park West stands near the point where Richmond Avenue meets Westheimer close to West Oaks Mall, in the Alief area of west Houston. Bridge Property Management runs the garden-style community, which offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Renovated interiors carry high ceilings, wood-style flooring, black appliances and full-size washers and dryers in the unit.

Shared space includes a resort-style pool and hot tub, a clubhouse with a fireplace, billiards and theater rooms, a business center, a fitness center and a playground, and the community accepts both large and small pets.

The location trades proximity to the Westchase office towers for lower rents and quicker access west. The Westpark Tollway and Highway 6 are both close, putting the Energy Corridor, Sugar Land and the Katy Freeway corridor within reasonable driving range, while Beltway 8 leads back east toward Westchase and the Galleria.
