The neighborhoods hugging the 1,500-acre park mix three-story townhomes, rebuilt Crestwood homes and busy Washington Avenue storefronts. Tera Moving plans home and business moves around the park, inside the 610 Loop.
Around the park
About the area
Memorial Park covers roughly 1,500 acres just west of downtown, most of it inside the 610 Loop, with I-10 along its northern edge and Memorial Drive running through the middle. The land was Camp Logan, a World War I Army training camp, before Will and Mike Hogg bought it and sold it to the city at cost in 1924. Today the Memorial Park Conservancy runs it, and the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center occupies 155 acres inside the park.
The neighborhoods on the park's east side, including Camp Logan, Crestwood and Rice Military, fall in the City of Houston's Washington Avenue Coalition and Memorial Park Super Neighborhood. City planning data shows housing units there grew from about 8,669 in 2000 to nearly 20,000 by 2019. Much of that growth is townhomes and condos replacing older bungalows, which means more stairs, tighter lots and shared driveways on a typical moving day.
Crestwood, bounded by the park on the west, Buffalo Bayou on the south and I-10 on the north, began developing in the 1940s, and many of its original ranch houses have given way to large custom homes. Rice Military, between Washington Avenue and Buffalo Bayou, mixes bungalows with newer townhouses. Both sit in the 77007 ZIP code and are zoned to Houston ISD, unlike the Memorial area farther west.
FAQ's
Common questions from people moving near Memorial Park.
No. Memorial Park is the large city park and the neighborhoods around it, mostly inside the 610 Loop in ZIP 77007, such as Crestwood, Camp Logan and Rice Military. The Memorial area is a separate part of west Houston that runs along Memorial Drive from the villages out to Highway 6. We serve both.
We move households and businesses in Camp Logan, Crestwood, Rice Military, the Washington Avenue corridor and the surrounding inner-loop neighborhoods. We also cover nearby River Oaks, the Galleria area and the Heights side of town, plus the rest of greater Houston.
No. Stairs and long carries are included in our hourly rate for local moves. We send enough movers to handle multi-level townhomes efficiently, and furniture disassembly and reassembly are part of the job, which helps with pieces that will not fit up a tight stairwell.
Yes. We handle restaurants, retail shops and small offices along the corridor, usually after closing, overnight or on a weekend so you lose as little business as possible. We coordinate with the landlord on certificates of insurance, loading access and timing.
Local moves are billed hourly, so you pay for the time the crew actually works. A deposit equal to the two-hour minimum holds your date and is refundable if you change plans 48 or more hours ahead. There are no hidden fees, and Released Value Protection is included.
