The Hobby Area District is in a highly competitive neighborhood, centrally positioned in Houston, one of the nation’s most thriving centers of global commerce. With William P. Hobby Airport at its core and downtown Houston just minutes away, the accessibility and relative affordability that characterize the District provides an advantage that few other places can offer. Also known as Harris County Improvement District #9, the District was created by the 80th Legislature in June 2007 under Section 59, Article XVI, of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 4110 of Special District Local Laws Code. It is bounded by Dixie Drive to the North, Interstate 45 to the East, Almeda Genoa Road to the South and Mykawa Road to the West.
