I'm now going on my third year as a resident of Hanover Post Oak, located in the Houston Galleria area. Yes, it has taken me three years to leave a review finally.
Part of it was my own selfish reasons as I didn't want this hidden treasure to get overrun by the typical Houston luxury highrise tenants. Those of you that have lived in Houston highrises know precisely what I'm talking about.
I like that it is quiet here. I like that majority of residents that live here are older business professionals. I like that I can go to the swimming pool here on a Saturday to relax and not have to see a lot of drunk people that don't live here.
Hanover couldn't be a better fit for everything I'm looking for in a luxury condo that fits my current situation in life. So after 3 years, I finally had to leave this place a review and put my selfish reasons away.
The main reason for finally leaving this review now is the management staff, in particular, Nicole Hart, the assistant property manager. She has been absolutely amazing and has always taken good care of me. From the initial signing of my lease three years ago to renewing my contract annually, and even reassuring all of us during this Coronavirus pandemic.
Michelle, the property manager, has also been nothing but exceptional in any of my dealings with her as well. Along with the rest of her team, including Ali in the office leasing staff, the entire staff of valet, concierge, and maintenance team.
The amenities at Hanover Post Oak include 24/7 concierge and valet service, a high-tech fitness center, as well as an 8th-floor rooftop style pool with cabanas and a view of the Galleria area. Other standard amenities include a dog park with a pet washing station, dry-cleaning service, business centers with Apple iMacs, a private screening room, a resident lounge, and dining area.
Hanover Post Oak is located around 7 miles west of Downtown (15-minute drive). It sits near the intersection of Post Oak Boulevard and San Felipe, in the heart of Houston's Uptown District.
Uptown (more commonly called The Galleria Area), is the most cosmopolitan neighborhood in Houston centered around the Galleria Mall, which is home to 400+ retailers, & 50 restaurants. The Galleria Mall is the largest mall in Texas and seventh-largest in the United States.
Hanover Post Oak is also situated within walking distance to many different shops, upscale amenities, & restaurants.
BLVD Place, which is a 20-acre mixed-use development, is located directly across the street from us. It includes some of Houston's most popular restaurants in North Italia, True Food Kitchen, & Sozo Sushi Lounge.
My personal favorite is The Original Ninfa's Uptown Houston, which just recently opened in November. This is the long-anticipated opening of a second Ninfa's. The Original Ninfa's on Navigation (Downtown) is the crown jewel of the Houston Tex-Mex scene -- sometimes even credited as a catalyst for the fajita craze that took over America.
For entertainment, Rooftop Cinema At BLVD Place recently opened as Houston's first rooftop theater. The unique open-air venue offers sunset screenings of recent releases and cult classics, food, craft cocktails, and cozy seating. The movies are shown on a giant rooftop screen with state-of-the-art HD projectors.
Finally, my favorite Whole Foods is also located across the street in BLVD Place. At 55,000 square feet, this flagship is the second-largest Whole Foods in Houston, just behind the Sugar Land location.
It is also home to the first brewery ever located inside a grocery store. Known as the Whole Foods Market Brewing Co., it features a rotating assortment of four to eight beers brewed onsite that serve a variety of styles.
Hanover Post Oak's perfect location, outstanding leasing office staff, and overall value compared to other over-priced highrises in Houston can't be beaten.
