Page 1, November 2017 Greater OST / South Union

DescriptionGreater OST/South Union is a collection of neighborhoods in south central Houston inside Loop 610. Most of the homes in this community were built just after World War II. Many of these small homes have been converted to commercial use, especially along Martin Luther King Boulevard. Other areas, such as LaSalette Place, remain deed restricted and well maintained. One small portion of Riverside Terrace is included in the community immediately south of MacGregor Park. Commercial development has revived along Old Spanish Trail, and the Shrine of the Black Madonna church has purchased and redeveloped a number of deteriorated properties near its sanctu-ary. In addition, new home construction is occurring in various locations throughout the area.
