About Willow
Meadows-Willowbend
Willow Meadows-Willowbend, located between Meyerland and West University Place, is a residential and park-adjacent Houston neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and bayou-greenway edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the intersection of South Braeswood Boulevard and Stella Link Road, where low-slung shopping strips, local eateries, and everyday services set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Bellaire Coffee Shop, Meyerland Plaza, and the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center act as familiar community pillars. Brick ranch homes and updated contemporaries sit under broad oaks, with sidewalks that lead toward bayou trails. Weekend routines often orbit around nearby parks, tennis courts, and the JCC campus. The geography reads as calm interior blocks framed by major boulevards and green corridors.

Quaint 2/1 in thriving Post Oak Manor. Great bones for renovation/ adding square footage with the existing 16x16 structural slab pre-plumbed in the rear, or a few repairs needed to make an excellent starter home. Original hardwoods, newer roof, updated electrical panel, and French doors. Numerous oak trees overlay Sanford street as you approach the property. Don't let this one pass you up.
