Gogo's take on Hastings Green
“Go with care. Hastings Green is primarily a quiet, working-to-middle-class residential subdivision in northwest Houston rather than a dedicated visitor destination. While residential streets are generally peaceful, visitors should remain mindful of typical suburban property crime, especially along nearby major thoroughfares like Jones Road and FM 1960.”
