Fondren Gardens
"Hectic area"
Fondren Gardens is located in Southwest Houston, right on the edge of The Sam Houston Beltway. It is close to Missouri City, Sugarland, and First Colony. Main streets traveled in the area are Hilcroft and Fondren, along with Beltway 8. This area is very small and has little housing on the residential side. The land is mostly made up of businesses and strip centers.
The area of Fondren Gardens has several religious facilities to choose from, including Greater St. Matthew Baptist Church and Fountain of Praise. Several fast food restaurants are in the area, but for shopping and sit down dining you will want to travel a few minutes down the road to Sugarland or First Colony Mall.

"Can't Make a Garden Out of Dirt"
Fondren Gardens is a decently sized area with little housing. Most of the area is taken up by large business and industrial buildings. The apartments to the southeast provide affordable living for singles, couples or young families and the condos to the northwest are a little more expensive, but serve the same purpose. Small homes take up central Fondren Gardens, and while they are affordable, they are also minimally maintained, doing just enough to make them look semi-clean. Many of the driveways are not paved, so dust is pretty common throughout the subdivisions. Retainment ditches encircle Fondren Gardens, which is nice for when rains or hurricanes hit, but otherwise, they are an eyesore and an attractive home for snakes and rodents. The neighborhood is filled with useful streets to get you around Houston, though. Both Fondren and Hillcroft extend into the west Houston suburbs, where there is plenty of shopping and entertainment to take part in. Orem takes you to S. Post Oak, which is a direct line to Downtown Houston and the Galleria. The shopping and chances for entertainment are fairly limited in this section of town, but 90 and Beltway 8 offer you the opportunity to get out and discover the rest of this great city. Town and Country Mall is just a short trip heading west on the Beltway and 90 meets up with I-10 around downtown.
