Houston, Texas
Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S. and since it has literally hundreds of neighborhoods, it may seem daunting to find the perfect rental apartment. The key to locating your perfect Houston rental will just take a little research. Living close to work or school should be an important part of the rental search. It is a car centric city even though there is a very good bus and rail system.
About Houston
Houston is all about oil, aeronautics and finance. It is truly an international city with all the diversity one would expect from one of the largest cities in the U.S. From the Little Saigon area to Space City, there isn’t much you won’t find in this south Texas city. It’s full of energy from the revitalized downtown area growing outwards to what is referred to as The Loop. Family neighborhoods, ethnic neighborhoods and gentrified ones give you many options for relocating to just the right Houston apartment.
Houston Neighborhoods
If you are searching for family friendly neighborhoods, look at the West University area or even Sugarland in southwest Houston. For the arts and trendier restaurants, the Montrose and Midtown area might be the place for you. There you will find the best nightlife for the live music scene as well as the hottest new restaurants. For sheer architectural beauty, you’ll want to check out the apartments for rent in the old Victorian Houston Heights neighborhood. Many love the downtown area with its loft conversions and proximity to both entertainment and work. You will find thousands of apartment choices in the hundreds of Houston neighborhoods.
Recreation and Going Out in Houston
Houston boasts over 337 public parks, a seventeen block area called the Theatre District where you’ll find museums, theatres, movies, restaurants, fantastic shopping (the Galleria is the largest shopping mall in Texas), and the diversity doesn’t stop there. You’ll find both gritty and glamorous bars and restaurants side by side. Check out places like the Cadillac Bar which looks like a basement but the waiters all wear tuxedos or La Cuerva with its 50 brands of tequila or a local favorite, Jax Grill. Every neighborhood in Houston will seem multi-faceted and it is. Just like its city limits,Houston has limitless venues for entertainment. The Space Center is a top attraction along with the annual rodeo, high-octane sports teams in the Astrodome, and the 55 acre Houston Zoo. Houston is full of glass and glitter but finding a Houston rental apartment that’s perfect for you - regardless of architectural preference - will not be difficult.
