    Great Uptown

    What's it like to live in Great Uptown?

    Upscale energy defines Great Uptown, where this distinctive Houston district surrounds The Galleria with its international shopping and dining options. Rental choices range from luxury high-rises with skyline views to mid-rise communities with resort-style amenities throughout the area. The neighborhood offers exceptional walkability to both shopping destinations and major employers along Post Oak Boulevard, creating genuine pedestrian experiences unusual in typically car-dependent Houston neighborhoods beyond purely downtown alternatives.

    Eldridge West Oaks

    What's it like to live in Eldridge West Oaks?

    Eldridge/West Oaks combines newer housing with excellent shopping access in western Houston. Rental properties typically include modern amenities like attached garages, community pools, and fitness centers. The neighborhood provides quick access to both Energy Corridor employment and West Oaks Mall shopping, though downtown commutes can take 35+ minutes during peak traffic periods.

    Woodlake Briar Meadow

    What's it like to live in Woodlake Briar Meadow?

    Strategic positioning at the nexus of major Houston employment centers makes Woodlake/Briar Meadow particularly valuable for professionals seeking reasonable commutes in multiple directions. Located between the Galleria, Westchase, and the Energy Corridor, the neighborhood offers straightforward access to Houston's largest job concentrations. Apartment communities typically feature more generous floor plans than inner loop options at more accessible price points. The area lacks the historic character of central Houston districts but provides excellent everyday retail and dining options along Westheimer Road. Particularly well-suited for oil industry professionals, corporate employees in distributed campuses, and practical renters who prioritize commuting flexibility and housing value over trendiness or historic architecture in Houston's vast, automobile-oriented housing market spanning multiple commercial centers rather than focusing exclusively on downtown.

Houston Renter Confidence Survey

National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states

Here’s how Houston ranks on:

Overview of Findings

Apartment List has released Houston’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.

"Houston renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "They gave most categories above average scores."

Key Findings in Houston include the following:

  • Houston renters gave their city a B+ overall.
  • The highest-rated categories for Houston were affordability and state and local taxes, which both received A grades.
  • The areas of concern to Houston renters are weather (C) and public transit (B-).
  • Millennial renters are very satisfied with their city, giving it an overall rating of B+, while renters who are parents are equally satisfied, also scoring the city a B+.
  • Houston earned similar scores compared to other cities in Texas, including Austin (A-), Dallas (B) and San Antonio (A-).
  • Houston did relatively well compared to similar cities nationwide, including Los Angeles (C+), Atlanta (B) and Miami (C+).
  • The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.

Renters say:

  • "Houston is a great place to live! It’s family oriented but also has a booming nightlife that caters to all Houstonians. The traffic, at times, can be a headache, but there is always opportunity for either public transportation or expressways to get around the city." -Jessica
  • "Houston is a nice place to live. There are a lot of opportunities and it’s a great place if you are looking for a change. Transportation ins’t great if you don’t have a car." -Anon.
  • "I love the city because it’s very diverse; so many cultures mix in one place. But I hate that the weather is extremely hot!" -Mauricio
  • "Houston has good growth, great food, and a short winter." -Joe H.
