Northside / Near Northside

The Near Northside is one of Houston's oldest neighborhoods, just north of downtown between I-45 and Hardy Street, from Burnett Street up to roughly Cavalcade. It grew up around the Hardy rail yards in the late 1800s, became a center of Mexican American Houston after World War II, and is anchored by Moody Park and the METRORail Red Line along North Main and Fulton Street.
