Houston's Pleasantville neighborhood is east of Downtown Houston and just south of Interstate 10. Area parks like Pleasantville Manner Park and Pleasantville Park are great greenspaces in Houston, a city with more than 56,000 acres of parks across the metro area. Pleasantville is often associated with Groveland Terrace, another inner loop neighborhood. In addition to the residential areas here, several industrial sections with large warehouses call Pleasantville home also. Among the best things about this mixed-use district is the strength and commitment of the long-time Pleasantville residents that have helped sustain it over the years.
