COMMUNITY DESCRIPTON AND HISTORY: Greater Inwood area was developed in the early 1960s for oil executives during the Houston oil boom. During this period, the Inwood Forest Country Club was built, a private golf course, later became a community gathering place. The club, located on Antoine is no longer used as a golf course. This ethnically diverse community has a mixture of land uses, with single-family residential comprising the majority (85%) of the land uses. These homes are located in 35 neighborhoods including Inwood Forest, Candlelight Oaks, Woodland Trails, Candlelight Forest, Forest West and Antoine Forest Village. Industrial uses account for the second highest (9%) land use and are concentrated primarily along two major thoroughfares, Bingle Road and Houston Rosslyn. The International Paint Company is one of the major employers in the area. Office uses, which account for the least (2%) land use, are scattered throughout the area. Several large apartments in the area are located along Antoine, Tidwell, De Soto, Holly View, West Little York and Gulf Bank.
