A surprisingly peaceful college town on the edge of natural beauty

University Nature Hiking Exciting Diverse

Proximity to Sam Houston National Forest also gives Huntsville a prominent outdoorsy feel that many residents appreciate. There’s a diverse mix of rentals ranging from the spacious and single-family variety to more modern apartment communities that are perfect for students. Downtown Huntsville is home to the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, as well as the bulk of the city’s retail and restaurants offerings.
