Your Super Neighborhood at a glance:

Greater Fondren Southwest is found at the southwest corner of Beltway 8. The center of the area was undeveloped until the 1970s when construction began in Fondren Southwest. The area includes the neighborhoods of Braeburn Valley West and Glenshire. Many of the homes built in Fondren Southwest were large and expensive, frequently contemporary in style. Much land was reserved for apartment construction, and thousands were built along the major thoroughfares. When the local market collapsed in the 1980s, these complexes deteriorated rapidly. The community has successfully worked to eliminate the worst of these complexes. Recently several orthodox Jewish congregations have located in the area, adding to its diversity.
