Home to the largest medical center in the world (everything is bigger in Texas), Houston's Med Center includes facilities for many world-renowned research labs, hospitals, and schools. MD Anderson, Baylor School of Medicine, Texas Children’s, as well as a large VA Hospital are just a few of the many great healthcare providers located here.
There are quite a few options for living in the Houston Medical Center. Many apartments offer shuttles to the hospitals which cuts down on traffic and parking. There are also a few properties within walking distance of the Med Center, and of course Hermann Park is nearby for a quick stroll.
In addition, Rice University shares real estate in this area. This neighborhood has a ton of great apartments for students or anyone wanting to be close to Rice Village and its many walkable restaurants and nightlife spots. Due to a relatively high demand from students, you can usually find nice apartments or lofts in Rice Village even when on a budget.
