Welcome to Energy Corridor

The Energy Corridor refers to an area which runs along Interstate 10 from Kirkwood in the East to Barker Cypress Road in the West. The area got its name by the fact that many energy companies are based here including majors Shell and BP.

However, the actual Energy Corridor residential "market area" is to the south of this business district.

The area is extremely popular with Energy Industry employees wanting a short commute to work and still be close to all that Houston has to offer. The area is made up of leafy residential streets with older homes, some gated master-planned communities, and a great selection of apartments. Many employees also commute into this area daily.
