Forgotten Neigborhood????

That IS creepy. I wouldn't dare walk that area...even if I was with a couple of people. There's no telling who is hiding out there.

yeah, when I went I was creeped the creeped out. The lack of city noises that gets me. It is so darn quiet there.

Its crazy that this is right across the Bayou from this:








Oh and does anyone know what type of birds are these??


Saw them hanging out with some blue herons in the bayou

Those look like White Egrets.

That's really creepy. I love urban exploration. If you really want to be creeped out, Google abandoned theme parks, or hospitals.

oh the abandoned hospitals do freak me out. Well hospitals freak me out whether they are active or abandoned, I just don't like the feeling.

I love urban exploration too. Love both sides (during construction, and after use/ abandonment)


I made this thread to sorta gauge how long it takes for nature to reclaim areas after human activity.

No, it is vacant because it is too flood prone to be developed.

I was walking the other day and stumbled upon it. It is just completely deserted. Only streets are left.

It is kind of spooky to see a neighborhood with no houses, not a trace of humanity other than roads and bridges to nowhere. There are cul de sacs to nothing.



You can barely see where lots were.
No utility poles or wires. Nothing at all but neighborhood roads.

There are no street signs. the only reason I know what the hood was called is because it still shows up on maps.

Anyone who used to live near Greenspoint remember this area???

It seems to have been settled in the 1950's long before the Greenspoint economic boom and bust of the 80's.

I dunno, it sure spooked me that there is no life in that area. I would think after a year or two the area would be reclaimed by squirrels, coons, deer, etc, but I walked the entire hood and saw or heard nothing.

You can still see what used to be lawns resisting recolonization by native plants. man we really do screw up areas big time.

This neighborhood was purchased by the Harris County Flood Control District after Tropical Storm Allison due to severe flooding as a part of the TSARP and Greens Bayou improvements.

This neighborhood has been cleaned up all the trees have been removed here is more info

I just found this place on google maps when I was looking at the Gunspoint/Greenspoint area and was wondering what happened.
