About
Westbury
Westbury, located between Meyerland and Willow Meadows, is a residential and mid-century Houston neighborhood with curving ranch-style streets and a broad greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hillcroft Avenue and West Bellfort Avenue corridor, where taquerias, bakeries, and small grocers line the storefronts in a steady hum. Brick one-stories and tidy lots set a low-slung architectural rhythm, with pockets of newer infill along major streets. Westbury Park and the Willow Waterhole Greenway add long, open sightlines for walking and birding. The Westbury Civic Club and the Westbury Community Garden act as local anchors for meetups and seasonal projects. Drainage channels and bayou-adjacent paths shape the geography into a patchwork of quiet blocks and active edges.
