Types of apartment in Houston, TX
Houston apartments range from garden-style complexes to mid-rise and high-rise towers. In Montrose, Midtown, and the Museum District, many apartments sit in newer brick and stucco buildings with balconies, parking garages, and shared courtyards. Downtown and the Galleria area have more glassy towers and larger mid-rises. In the Heights and Rice Military, you also see houses for rent, including bungalows, townhomes, and newer narrow homes with garages at street level. Interiors often include open kitchens, hard flooring, and in-unit laundry, but layouts can vary a lot by age of the building.In West University, Upper Kirby, and Greenway Plaza, apartments often look polished and newer from the outside, with controlled entry and structured parking. East Downtown and the Near Northside mix older brick buildings, warehouse-style conversions, and newer low-rise apartments. In Meyerland, Spring Branch, and parts of southwest Houston, garden apartments and single-story rental homes are more common.
