Neighborhood

Known for years as the nightlife capital of Houston, Midtown has diversified its attractions and caters to far more than just night owls. The restaurant selection is unbeatable, with everything from bohemian coffeehouses to trendy brunch spots to world-class dinner destinations representing every corner of the globe.

The local arts scene is anchored by the renowned Ensemble Theatre, whose repertoire brings live comedies, dramas, and musicals to packed houses; the Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston is a more recent development that combines visual and performing arts in a single facility. Lovely public parks offer opportunities for low-key leisure time, and the sports arenas of Downtown are only a few blocks away. Catch the Red Line along Main Street for quick access to anywhere in the city, hassle-free.

Elevator is constantly broken

Overall, l like my apartment unit. It has good natural lighting, spacious for a two bedroom (the second bedroom is questionable though), in a good location for a decent price. Getting a response from the leasing office or manager is a tedious task. They only respond after you send multiple emails. The elevator is constantly broken. It was broken for almost the entire month of August. If you have any mobility issues, use a wheel chair, or simply want a place with a consistently working elevator, do not live here.

Make careful consideration

I moved out of this building about a month ago. Aside from the elevator never working and the hallways being messy, this place offered a good location at a great price. Things really took a turn for the worse when I attempted to renew my lease. The property manager, who is unprofessional and a liar, haggled with me for almost 2 months, all because I wanted the storm damage in my apartment to be noted on my new lease. It appears that the property is suffering because of financial issues. Could be why all of the problems at move out. I’m thankful I was able to leave. Best part: at move in, was promised a parking spot. The property manager gave me one for 2 weeks and then took it back. At move out, when I returned the garage gate opener, property manager asked, why do it have a gate opener? I was promised a parking spot!
