Bremond St, Greater Third Ward

My first encounter over here was delightful. My friends had renovated (sort of) an old mansion and threw a party. At first, I noticed their house was directly in front of a depot for USPS trucks and mail-delivery cars and the lights are kept on 24-hours a day. The condominiums next to their house were nice and looked new, but it didn't appear that anyone lived there. Next to their house was another mansion-esque house, but it was boarded up, overgrown, and seemed to be housing crackheads for the time being. I locked my car. Twice. My friend told me his car had been used as a toilet a number of times and broken into several other times before. Behind their house was an abandoned auto repair shop, which had police officers in front of it the entire time I was there.
Other than the constant lights shining in your front windows, the lurking crackheads and fairly busy traffic, this midtown location could be an exciting place to live. Just down La Branch is a small, homely neighborhood that is well kept. You are about 3 minutes from jumping on I-45, which can take you to the east side of downtown, or if you wish you can take La Branch to Minute Maid Park or any number of downtown locations. It is also near River Oaks, which allows plenty of shopping opportunities and the famous River Oaks theater. But, if you are thinking of visiting this area or purchasing a home here, watch your things and be sure to lock your doors.
