The Montrose / Spring Branch Affair

Known as Houston’s quirky, artsy neighborhood, Montrose is a magnet for gifted millennials after decades of attracting their open-minded Gen X and baby boomer forerunners, along with academics, international visitors, and the like.

Education Persuasion

A neighborhood with great public and private schools attracts families with children as new residents. In turn, new residents attract new businesses that meet the families’ needs. This formula is key to the unfolding transformation of Spring Branch. Here we take a look at the area’s education standouts.

The Language of Success

Centrally located in the nation’s most ethnically diverse city, Spring Branch is the place where you are most likely to hear Korean spoken — along with English, of course, as well as Spanish and Vietnamese and a smattering of Polish. The language mix  isn’t just talk, either — it’s a way to do business. Read how businesses can leverage Spring Branch’s global character to their advantage.

Location Motivation

When Houston-area businesses go where the action is, they look where most roads lead. The path takes them to Spring Branch, which helps explain the area’s ongoing dynamic transformation. Bounded by the 610 Loop, Interstate 10, the Sam Houston Tollway and Highway 290, the district is a relatively short drive from downtown Houston, the Galleria area and the suburban Energy Corridor. And with Spring Branch’s burgeoning mix of ethnic restaurants, from Mexican and Korean to Polish to Argentine, you can eat your way around the world without leaving.

District Services Support Spring Branch Business Sector

Virtually every U.S. business benefits from basic government services such as paved public roads and clean water supplies. But the Spring Branch Management District goes well beyond the basics in support of businesses in its boundaries. Private security patrols, graffiti and litter abatement, tailored economic data, a new recreational trail, public art and more are part of the package the District provides at no cost to help businesses launch and thrive.
