Museum District

One of the Top Cultural Districts in the Country
Located southwest of downtown, The Museum District has more than 8.7 million visitors explore the 19 cultural institutions that populate this beautiful neighborhood each year. It's a very walkable and pleasant neighborhood that renters enjoy because of its quiet pockets, parks, and strong community feel. Popular spots to go, besides the museums, include The Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theatre, and MF Sushi.

The tree-lined streets show the true culture and beauty of this area. Renters love that there's no shortage of entertainment but it's also not as hectic as some of the other neighborhoods in Houston. It's the best of both worlds in The Museum District.

Museum District — 8.5/10 Rating (based on 13 neighborhood reviews)
Good accessibility to the med center/rice village (8 min drive), montrose (13 min), and anywhere else you want to go! Traffic gets backed up but that's literally everywhere in Houston. Some small crimes occur in higher frequency in this area (break ins or robberies), but not an overwhelming transient population. Close to the museums and Hermann Park.

The Circle at Hermann Park
The apartment is right across from Hermann Park. I usually go out for a walk or run. There have been a couple of instances of cars broken into in the area, however the apartment complex comes with a parking garage. No instances have happened inside the garage.
