Historic Glenbrook Valley Civic Club “Glenbrook Valley Is A Deed Restricted Neighborhood” July

2014

Our Neighborhood in the Spotlight Glenbrook Valley’s star continues to rise as even more media coverage of Houston’s largest Historic District hit the stands in April. Houstonia Magazine, a trendy periodical that covers all sorts of interesting topics in the city, came out in their April issue with their list of 25 hottest neighborhoods for 2014. Glenbrook Valley was included in this short list. This accolade comes on the heels of a flurry of recognition our once seemingly forgotten neighborhood has received since being designated the State’s first post WWII Historic District. This past Fall, the Houston Chronicle spotlighted Glenbrook Valley in an article “Overlooked Glenbrook Valley now attracting Attention.” Last year’s accolade from no less an authority than "This Old House" magazine was mentioned in both of the above articles, as well as yet another feature in the Chronicle, and one in on-line magazine "Culturemap.com," their third time to feature Glenbrook Valley since we started the designation process!

Nuestra vecindad en el foco La Estrella de Glenbrook Valley sigue brillando como aún más cobertura de los medios del Distrito histórico más grande de Houston llegó a los puestos en abril. Houstonia Magazine, una revista de moda que cubre toda clase de asuntos interesantes en la ciudad, llegó en su edición de abril con una lista de las 25 vecindades más calientes o atractivas para 2014. Glenbrook Valley fue incluida en esta lista corta.

Este elogio viene detrás de una oleada de reconocimiento nuestra una vez aparentemente olvidada vecindad ha recibido desde que fue designada el primer Distrito histórico posterior a la segunda guerra mundial del Estado. Este otoño pasado el Houston Chronicle destacó Glenbrook Valley en un artículo “Overlooked Glenbrook Valley now attracting attention.” El elogio del año pasado de una autoridad no menos que la revista “This Old House” se mencionó en ambos los artículos ya mencionados, también como en todavía otro reportaje en el Chronicle, y uno en la revista electrónica “Culturemap.com,” ¡su tercera vez para destacar a Glenbrook Valley desde cuando comenzamos el proceso de la designaWe have had Glenbrook Valley homes ción! grace the cover of "Houston House and Home" not once, but twice since our des- Hemos visto hogares de Glenbrook Vaignation, as well as 3 different homes lley en el cubierto de “Houston House featured in the on-line blog, "Retro Reno- and Home” no solamente una vez sino vation."
