PlazAmericas

GHETTO!
We came here for a carnival, and as we were pulling into a parking spot, some jerk cut us off and stole it. Okay, thanks. So we drove around the corner to a lot where we weren’t sure if we could park? But did anyway. We walked to the bank next door, only to find out that it wasn’t reading anyone’s cards… so no cash for the carnival. Thanks.
We only had $ 15 in cash, so Hubbs and I were able to ride one ride ($ 5 each) and shared a corn ($ 4). THANKS GUYS!!!
I don’t know if this is for the mall or the property or whatever, but I will NEVER come back!

From 1997 to 2004 I lived in an apartment that was a couple of blocks to the north of the mall, and was just before the major anchors Montgomery Ward, JCPenney and Foley’s closed shop. The area was already suffering from urban blight due to the surrounding apartment properties and the situation just deteriorated further from there.
Now PlazAmericas is the last gasp for this area to improve after the disastrous image of being Houston’s «Hip Hop destination» (ugh), and the upside potential is not there, too little too late it seems. The 50+ year-​old buildings at the site have matured past their useful life, is not sustainable for a major retail center any longer due to the growth in Sugar Land, people of all races/​ethnicities concerned for their well-​being won’t even go there, and overall the land value exceeds the improvements sitting on it.
PlazAmericas/​Sharpstown is overdue for the wrecking ball, sadly. However, it is the circle of life. Once a popular and proud market center has run its course, and prolonging its demise is more painful than putting it out of its misery.

I ended up stopping by because I lived close by in Westwood. I like the cheap shop. It’s not high-​end by far and I didn’t have any dangerous times there. I can get something for my whole family there. I like Burlington Coat Factory is connected as well! This is definitely a Hispanic mall. Nothing was wrong with that, I just couldn’t read many signs lololol
DISLIKE the food court. NO WAY !!! and the play area by it, never again. I thought the play area was nice and my son loves it but then I saw so many ants and other tiny bugs crawling all over and around it. I was so grossed out. NEVER EAT or let your little ones Play THERE!
Just shop quick n leave lolol can’t chill in the food court so no reason to hang around. I am not scared to shop there though. I had no idea about the shootings there until I read these Unilocal reviews. Honestly people are crazy everywhere so that does not scare me.

i definitely don’t like coming here its just sketchy and the service is always bad. No thank you to this mall.

This isn’t a review, but I’d really appreciate any input. At the risk of sounding ignorant, is the Best Buy in Sharpstown considered «safe»? I ordered a TV and it was the closest location that had them in stock. I’m just wondering if I need to go during the day, etc. Thank you.

Don’t listen to the reviews, this place isn’t dangerous, you won’t get «shot at». Yeah though but the mall is dead. Really dead. 3 stars for coastal cookies though, love that place. :)

This has to be one of the most dangerous and violent public places in Texas. I had a roommate that was a police officer that ended up being assigned here as a form of punishment. He had two accidents in one year (where he was at fault) and what the PD does is that instead of taking you off the streets, they assign you to Sharpstown. Do you know what the word «sharp» in Sharpstown means? Knives. And if I had a million dollars, I would bet a million dollars that you can buy any type of drug that you want out in the parking lot.
My brother enjoys adventure and worked here as security at a jewelry store for several years. And I am glad he’s still with us. His boss actually lost his mind one day, pulled out a gun and shot one of the other security guards, then drove around back behind the mall and shot himself in the head while police were chasing him. (google that, you might remember it). Needless to say that’s just an average day at Sharpstown mall. My brother has learned that over 70% of the people whom enter the mall, are in fact shoplifters and he averaged about 3 – 5 arrests a day, basically as fast as you can roll em in and out. LOL. He actually celebrated his 1000^th arrest right shortly before his boss went insane.

I don’t get how this mall is still around. It literally just sells shoes, ghetto tees, jewelry and has 2 barber shops. I only come here for the t-​shirts. Some of the shirts are actually clever. The problem is they don’t carry anything smaller than a Large. If you dare to come, always park next to the row of cop cars.

How in the _​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​is this place still open? Honestly. How? I mean they only have jewelry shops, 2 barbers shops, and a hoochie clothes store. I can admit, I get my hair cut in this mall, and I used to work at the Foley’s in there years ago, but I just don’t see how this place survives. Oh and the food court is a huge joke. Also, if you want to find a real quick shortcut to hell, try using the bathroom upstairs on a Saturday. I honestly wanted to burn my shoes after leaving the stall. Overall it’s a wonder how the doors here stay open.

I used to come here all the time when I was just a young buck!
Since they used to have the SANRIO (you know I am all about Miss Hello Kitty!) store so I used to come here every Sunday after church.
But now… OMG this mall has totally changed! I wouldn’t step foot in here ever!
This place is the most ghetto-​est mall ever! By far the number one in Houston I think!
In case you are wondering where to get your PAUL WALL grills at… this is the place for you!
Since this is where Paul Wall gets his grill!
