Super
Neighborhood #83- MacGregor
This
Super Neighborhood has a recognized council established March 14 , 2005.
Your super neighborhood at-a-glance:MacGregor is a collection of neighborhoods on both sides of Brays Bayou east of the Texas Medical Center. The area became home to many of Houston’s African American professionals during the 1950s and 1960s. At that time some large homes were demolished or converted to commercial uses. As a result some parts of the community include stately homes interspersed with small motels and deteriorated apartments. Some subdivisions, notably Timbercrest, University Oaks and Riverside Terrace along South MacGregor, retain their gracious residential characteristics and contain numerous examples of outstanding architecture. Home construction and commercial development have recently revived, especially on the southern edge of the area.
