Westchase District’s Board of Directors has hired Charly Weldon as the organization's President/CEO. Weldon takes over the position from Jim Murphy, who is retiring after 28 years of leading Westchase District.

For the past seven years, Weldon has led Family Houston, a non-profit organization connecting families to community resources, including food, shelter, employment assistance, mental health counseling, and financial counseling. Prior to that, she served as Executive Director of The Beacon, which works to meet the needs of Houston’s homeless population.

“I was born in the old Spring Branch Hospital and lived in Westchase during the 90’s,” said Weldon. “To be a part of developing Westchase is very exciting. You’ll always find me advocating for our city.”

Weldon was chosen during an eight-month search, led by a four-member search committee made up of Westchase District board members. “Charly is a strategic leader who has great experience collaborating with a board of directors,” said Westchase District Board Chair Harry Greenblatt. “There was no doubt when we met with her that she would be a good fit with our current team. We’re confident that she will take the District to the next level.”

Weldon’s first day on the job will be Tuesday, May 30. Murphy – who is responsible for founding the District in 1995 – will continue to assist as a consultant.

When you think of a “Farmers Market” what items come to mind? For most, it would be fresh produce, honey, salsa, jam, and handcrafted goods. While the Westchase District Farmers Market is known for its abundance of these items, it also offers a delightful surprise in the form of its "Farmers Market Food Court."

Every Thursday, we invite you to take a break from cooking and indulge in the culinary creations of our talented prepared meal vendors. Our food court is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking convenient and mouthwatering options to take home for dinner. 

Discover the exotic flavors of Nepali Fusion, where their famous roti takes center stage, delighting your taste buds with every bite. Craving the bold and rich flavors of Indian cuisine? Look no further as vendors offer tantalizing dishes like butter chicken, samosas, spring rolls, and fresh naan. Homemade tamales await you, stuffed full with chicken, pork, or brisket. Enjoy visits from our jerk chicken and fried fish vendors as well!

New vendors are joining us each week, bringing even more culinary delights to explore and enjoy. So mark your calendar and make your way to 10503 Westheimer Rd every Thursday from 3pm until dark to experience the Westchase District Farmers Market.

Congratulations to 2828 at Royal Oaks, Westchase District’s latest Blue Star community.

The Blue Star distinction is awarded by the Houston Police Department, only after a community has completed the three-part certification process, which includes manager training, an exterior inspection and resident education.

Patti Melendy, community manager at 2828 at Royal Oaks, says the process was worth the end result.

“Our longtime residents love it,” she said. “They’re happy with the improvements we’ve made.”

Those improvements include: $65,000 in lighting upgrades, cleaning up the landscaping, and making sure the pedestrian gates are working and locked. The property also installed the “Gatewise” app that allows residents to access the driveway gates via their mobile phone, while ensuring that unauthorized guests are not allowed admittance.
