Uptown Houston

Uptown is the ultimate urban lifestyle that showcases the best of Houston on a grand scale. It is one of Houston’s key economic engines and has evolved from near rural conditions in the 1960’s into one of the nation’s premier mixed-use urban centers. This dynamic interchange of traffic, transit, pedestrians, and commerce conveys energy and convenience. Uptown is common ground for all to share and enjoy, for all to feel safe and respected, a place that elicits the best of human kindness and prosperity. The Uptown District works to obtain and provide a variety of services and improvements for the Uptown area. The Uptown TIRZ mitigates traffic congestion, encourages new development, and grows the area’s tax base. One of Uptown’s signature thoroughfares, San Felipe, has been reconstructed into a pleasant and easily traveled roadway. The Land Bridge and Prairie over Memorial Drive will reunite the north and south sides of Memorial Park, providing safe crossing for people and wildlife.
