Spring Branch is an up and coming neighborhood. I moved here with the hope it will become one of the top neighborhoods to live in. Taxes are high, but schools are supposed to be good. I don't have any children so can't comment on that. There is not a big night life, but I have seen a couple bars and restaurants open up.

The neighborhood is quiet, not much gun fire for the city. Crime is low, houses are nice, and yards are for the most part kept nicely. Kids can pl;ay in the park at the center of the subdivision with no problems. Very little mischief going on. Neighbors wave as they walk or drive by. Very pleasant area.

People walk at all hours in the area. Kids play outside and in the park. Overall it's far better than some of the older subdivisions or gated communities. Not worried about being home with the front door unlocked.

Beyond the odd Fish Fry at the local catholic church and HOA meetings, there aren't many community events.
