Gulfton is a largely residential neighborhood in Southwest Houston, just off the 610 Loop and beside the affluent Bellaire, one of Houston’s most popular neighborhoods.
Gulfton had a reputation for bad master-planning and development during the ’70s and ’80s mainly due to its enormous blocks of warehouse-style apartments. However, the neighborhood is on the rise due to its location, affordability, and recent commercial development in the area.
