Waterford Grove Apartments

Crestdale Drive runs north of Hammerly Boulevard in the Spring Branch section of northwest Houston, and Waterford Grove occupies a large two-story, garden-style campus there. The scale of the unit mix is unusual for the area: floor plans run from one bedroom up to a four-bedroom of about 1,600 square feet, and some homes are laid out as two-story townhome-style units rather than flats.

Two pools anchor the grounds, with a fitness center, dog park, playground, volleyball court, a gated courtyard and an outdoor kitchen pavilion with grills. Interiors have been updated with wood-look flooring, quartz counters and gray cabinetry. The leasing office keeps bilingual English and Spanish staff and accepts Housing Choice Voucher applicants, both of which matter in a part of Spring Branch with a large Latino population.

I-10 and US 290 are the main routes out, with Beltway 8 a short drive west, so the Energy Corridor, Memorial City and the Galleria are all reachable without crossing Downtown. Grocery and strip-center shopping sits within walking distance along Hammerly and Blalock.
