Community Spotlight -Downtown Views Combine With Lush Green Space

Downtown views combine with lush green space at this Rice Military community in a very desirable location. The area along Buffalo Bayou is quite possibly the most central you can be in Houston. You can easily access all major freeways in 5 to 10 minutes, plus navigate quickly to any of the many “neighborhoods” nearby including: downtown, midtown, Upper Kirby, River Oaks, Galleria, Montrose and the Heights. If being outside is important to you, this community is a must see. You’re only half a mile to Memorial Park with a 3 mile jogging trail, public golf course, Olympic size lap pool, tennis and the arboretum trails. If you prefer, you can head the 2 blocks to access the Buffalo Bayou trails by foot or bicycle. Did I mention that you can also enjoy the bayou by canoe or kayak? In addition to being so close to Memorial Park, 3 other parks are within cycling or jogging distance including Eleanor Tinsley Park, home of the annual Free Press Summer Fest. This community has bars and restaurants within walking distance, but you can also drive the short distance to Washington Avenue for many more venues. Despite being so close to so much, the property is positioned in one of the quietest areas in Houston with green space all around.

Every apartment home is LEED certified with energy efficient appliances and light fixtures, and they feature in-wall Taexx pest control systems (this means, you should never ever have to worry about those pesky bugs found in Houston’s subtropical climate.) Kitchen designs go the extra mile with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, under-cabinet lighting, under mount sinks and maple cabinetry with glass front displays. The bathrooms are relaxing with spa inspired oval soaking tubs, walk in showers and of course, water efficient plumbing fixtures. Every home is going to feature hand-scratched hard wood floors, built ins (such as desks or bookshelves), 2 inch wood blinds, programmable thermostats, and many offer stunning skyline views.

The community itself has some pretty stunning attributes too! In addition to the usual amenities of a cyber cafe, resident lounge and fitness center, there is also an on-site dog park. It’s a no leash zone for your fur-baby to really let loose. The pool is truly resort style with plenty of tanning decks, and the fitness center offers state of the art tech savvy equipment. The icing on the cake though, is the rooftop terrace with tons of lounge space, a romantic fire pit  and a stunning downtown view. It’s the perfect spot for relaxing under the stars with a glass of wine or catching the fire works at 4th of July. Cats and dogs are always welcome, and prices start at $1695 for a 1 bedroom.
