North Shepherd Drive runs past the community and carries traffic south to the 610 North Loop, approximately 1.5 miles away, and on toward the Heights and Downtown. West 43rd Street, approximately 0.4 miles south, is the main east-west route across this part of north Houston.
Shepherd Park is approximately 0.4 miles west and Durham Elementary approximately 0.5 miles northwest. Garden Oaks Shopping Center with ALDI sits approximately 0.7 miles south, Whole Foods Market on the North Loop approximately 1.6 miles southeast, and Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital approximately 2 miles south. For a buyer looking at new construction with the established streets of Garden Oaks and Oak Forest nearby, 721 Thornton offers a ten-home community close to both the Loop and West 43rd Street.
