Greenway - Upper Kirby Area

Greenway - Upper Kirby Area sits inside Houston’s Inner Loop just west of Midtown and River Oaks, centered around the Greenway Plaza office complex and the lively corridors of Kirby Drive, Richmond Avenue, and Westheimer Road. The neighborhood blends major employment centers, like Greenway Plaza and nearby Lakewood Church, with walkable blocks of restaurants, boutiques, gyms, and upscale shopping at places such as Highland Village and Greenway Commons, plus green space at Levy Park. This mix of offices, dining, and entertainment creates steady activity throughout the day and into the evening, which means traffic on the main arteries can be busy at rush hour and on weekends, especially near shopping centers and popular restaurants.

Because of its central location and high demand, parking in Greenway - Upper Kirby Area can feel tight closest to Greenway Plaza, Lakewood Church, Levy Park, and the dense clusters of bars and eateries along Kirby, Westheimer, and Richmond, where street spaces and surface lots fill quickly. Visitors will find a patchwork of options including office and residential garages that offer guest or paid parking, structured garages attached to mixed-use developments, retail lots serving major centers like Costco and other big-box stores, and limited curbside spaces with posted time limits or pay-to-park rules that must be followed. Planning ahead by reserving a space before you arrive helps you avoid circling busy blocks, cuts down on delays from congestion around key intersections, and makes it easier to enjoy the neighborhood on foot once you park. Always review the latest local parking regulations and official city guidance before your trip, and consider booking parking in advance to save time and reduce stress.
