Formally known as Springwoods Village, City Place Plaza has become one of the more prominent parts of Spring. Lots of money and development has been poured into this area, to where it's now a destination for retail, events, food, commercial, and residential options.
Initial impressions would suggest that it's not that big for Texas standards, but it's really spanning 60 acres of mixed-use development. There are views of new buildings, walkways, lots of parking, and a view of a (man made) lake. It's really a great place to enjoy just about anything and is well maintained throughout.
Food wise, it's a mix of local and national chains. Think MOD Pizza, CAVA, Chick Fil A, Chipotle, Jinya Ramen, Beard Papa for the national side, but options like Torchy's Tacos, Tarka Indian Kitchen, and Common Bond. There are niche options like Island Grill, Sushi Rebel, or Zoe's Kitchen
I appreciate the fact there's always something going on here. It's a mix of family fun and adult only events, and a solid programming variety to appeal to everyone. I think indulging in some of the food options from City Place to sitting in one of the lawn chairs at the lake makes for a relaxing time.
I feel like places like this can only exist outside of the loop. Down in the city where there's potholes, no sidewalks, and beat up buildings; it's super refreshing to be in a place like City Place where it can at least give an impression for the kind of development potential we're seeing across the board.
