Third Ward is one of Houston's most prominent inner city neighborhoods. It is predominantly African-American, and has a die-hard reputation as one of the city's largest "ghettos". Here's what most Houstonians think about when they picture Third Ward...









But trust me, the neighborhood is a lot nicer than it looks on the main streets. Most of it is beautiful areas of older homes...









There is also an interessting suburban style development going up right along OST...








Just for reminder, all of this is inside the loop... within 5 minutes of downtown or the med center.

Finally some townhome development and high-end real estate is also a large part of Third Ward...





Parkwood area










Of course Third Ward is also Houston's "educational heart", being the home of both the University of Houston and Texas Southern University. The neighborhood is definitely more than meets the eye. Thanks for viewing.
