Copperfield is one of Houston's "Upper Middle Class" residential areas, away from the "hassles and bustles of Midtown", yet conveniently located close to major highways. From this prime location, you will have easy access to and from George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Downtown Houston.

The house is close to many grocery stores and movies theaters are just minutes away. There are plenty of restaurant along Highway-6, with diversified culinary. I also recommend that you include a visit the newly developed Barker Cypress Waterfront (15 minutes away) as part of your discovery of Houston.

For your more "Serious Shopping Spree", within a 15-mile radius, you have the choice between Memorial City Mall, City Center, Willow Mall, West Oak Mall, Hwy 290 Outlet Mall, Katy Mill Mall and the Galleria. Flea Market (open Saturdays and Sundays) is less than 3 minutes away.

If have time please consider to include Johnson Space Center (NASA) in your program, as well as the many museums in Downtown Houston ("District Museum").

Access to community pool should be available in Summer (I am working on getting access card). Please DO note that NO LIFEGUARD is in attendance, i.e. "use at your own risk".
