Location
Tanglewood features an ideal location due to its relatively central location. Residents of the neighborhood often have a short commute to work as main roads like Memorial Drive, Sane Felipe Street, Woodway Drive, and the 610 Loop connect the neighborhood to major job centers like Downtown, the Galleria, the Energy Corridor, and the Texas Medical Center. In addition, Tanglewood is just next to the 610 Loop, which shortens the commute when travelling to the other parts of Houston, which may be located further away. Because the neighborhood is not as large as other Houston neighborhoods, the quality of location will not vary much between homes like they would with homes in East End or Northside. The convenient location of Tanglewood definitely factors into why many choose this neighborhood to buy or build in.
