West Houston/Energy Corridor

The vision for West Houston/Energy Corridor began in the early 1990s, when a land developer looked past the Houston-area farmland and saw the makings of an elegant residential community. The earliest builders involved made their statement with a selection of luxurious, showcase homes. In 1995, the impressive recreation complex celebrated its grand opening. With a large swimming pool, playground and courts for volleyball and tennis, Lakes on Eldridge could treat its resident base to a resort-like experience almost every day. Later phases of development added waterside jogging paths and lush common areas, as well as additional homes. Developed by Ryko, Lakes on Eldridge was designed for beauty and function. Its 26 acres consist of three primary neighborhoods and roughly 2,200 homes. Shirley Kirk Elementary, within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CIFSD) is located within the Lakes on Eldridge community.

Area parks include Terry Hershey Park, George Bush Park, Bear Creek Park Complex and Ray Miller Park. The largest of these are George Bush and the Bear Creek Complex, totaling almost 10,000 acres between the two of them. George Bush Park features the American Shooting Center for skeet shooting, plus hiking trails, baseball fields and soccer fields. The highlights of the Bear Creek facility are its three golf courses, equestrian trails, tennis courts and the wildlife habitat.

Despite its peaceful atmosphere, Lakes on Eldridge is surprisingly close to Downtown Houston and the Energy Corridor. That means that urban conveniences and opportunities are never far away. The area is home to several established companies, including BP Amoco, CITGO Petroleum, Exxon Mobil and Shell Oil. Lakes on Eldridge is a perfect choice for energy industry professionals who yearn for an oasis-like living environment that doesn’t require a long commute.
