The thing about Houston is that it feels like 15 small towns in one big city. Every neighborhood has its own feel and its own culture. A huge part of picking an apartment is figuring out where you want to be. When you’re renting in Houston, you have a lot to pick from. You’ll find vibrant arts communities in neighborhoods like Montrose and the Museum District. If you want to be surrounded by the best restaurants in the city check out the Galleria area or the Heights. Or, if you just want a room with a show-stopping view, start your search in Downtown, Midtown, or the Medical Center. Partnering with an experienced Houston apartment locator can help you navigate all of Houston’s diverse neighborhoods to find what’s right for you. We have helped 30,000+ renters find their dream apartments since 1997, and we can help you too.

To help you know where to start, we put together comprehensive guides of Houston’s top neighborhoods for you to explore without having to get in your car and drive around them yourself. Although, once you’ve narrowed it down to two or three neighborhoods, we definitely recommend some exploring.
