Golfcrest is a historic neighborhood in Southeast Houston, located near Loop 610 and Telephone Road. It derives its name from the now-defunct Golfcrest Country Club, which once served as a local recreational center. Today, the neighborhood includes a mix of mid-century homes and newer developments. Golfcrest is known for its proximity to Glenbrook Park, as well as easy access to Hobby Airport and downtown via I-45. The area is culturally diverse, with a strong Hispanic presence, and features several taquerias and bakeries. The nearby Glenbrook Valley Historic District adds architectural interest, especially for fans of 1950s and 60s ranch-style homes. While not a typical tourist spot, Golfcrest offers local charm, affordability, and access to major city points.
