I don't know what the boundaries of WestChase are. The district headquarters are on Richmond, which is about a mile north of Harwin. My recollection of that area is that it's mostly office and commercial buildings.

There are a lot of scummy apartment north of Briar Forest, west of the Beltway. Also along Beechnut near the Beltway.

There are few places in Houston that are more than a mile from a high-crime area.

Re: Harwin St in Houston

I think it's helpful to look at the underlying facts of these cases.
A 30-year-old man was charged today with the murder of his roommate and the aggravated sexual assault of a woman his roommate was dating, police said.

Jason Bernard Russell, was charged in the shooting and killing of 30-year-old Deval Andrews, who was found dead Friday morning in the backseat of a car at the men's southwest Houston town home in the 9800 block of Pagewood, authorities said. He was charged with the sexual assault of a 24-year-old woman.

The three had gone out Thursday night to celebrate the woman's birthday. When they returned about 3:30 a.m. Friday, ...
Maybe, just maybe, if people don't hang out with losers and get drunk, they will avoid a lot of trouble. Those principles have served me well for decades.

This kind of garbage can and does happen everywhere.

Can you point to news reports of this event? There are too many rapes and shootings in Houston.

West of Gessner. It's called WestChase.

I had an office at Westheimer and the Beltway until 2005. I've spent some time in that area.

Re: Harwin St in Houston

i guess this is what you're talking about: http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2 ... n=describe

I had never heard of it.

There are a lot of good Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in that area, especially on Bellaire, which is about two miles south of Harwin.

I hope you have a safe, fun trip.

Re: Harwin St in Houston

Harwin runs through a fairly upscale area; but it's not far from Sharpstown, which is a pit. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable walking alone there. I would maintain the same situational awareness as on any city street.

Most of the crime in that part of Houston is robbery of small stores, particularly convenience stores.

What is of special interest in that part of town? Most visitors want to go to the Galleria.
