Renting a flat in Houston

Houston is the most populous city in Texas, spread out and largely car-dependent with no city-wide zoning. Rents are moderate for a city of its size, and a light rail system serves downtown, Midtown and the Medical Center.

Areas to look at

  • Montrose: eclectic, arts and dining
  • Midtown: apartments, near light rail
  • The Heights: historic bungalows, walkable
  • Downtown: high-rises and sports venues
