Houston Midtown apartments cater to young working professionals. Apartments in Midtown are located southwest of Downtown Houston Apartments and are bordered by Neartown and Highway 59. Midtown was the only district in Texas to experience negative growth from 1980 to 1990. Midtown has experienced a surge in retail, commercial and residential growth. Houston midtown apartments are also located next to Houston’s light rail and offer an easy commute towards the Texas Medical Center. Clear Lake is accessible via Interstate 45 to the South and Humble and Kingwood Texas towards the North.
Although Midtown has transformed into a “hot” spot full of restaurants, clubs, and boutiques, it was not always this way. In the 1970’s Midtown was a neighborhood that was influenced and inhabited by Vietnamese Americans. Many popular streets including Travis and Milam closely mirrored Saigon.
However, in 1995 the city of Houston implemented the (TIRZ). This led to the establishment of high income apartment communities like Post Midtown Square and other town-home projects. And in the decade between 1990 and 2000 Midtown saw a huge increase in population from just about 3,000 to over 5,300 inhabitants.
And with new high end construction resulted in higher rents for both businesses and residential areas. And these high rents have led to the decline in the number of Vietnamese businesses today.
Today there are several new apartment communities. Houston Midtown apartment homes charge some of the highest rents per square foot in the entire city of Houston. If you drive around the area today you can see a vast amount of clubs, bars, and residential areas.
Randall's Grocery store offers the only grocery store option for tenants to complete their shopping needs. Spec's Liquor store serves the needs of many of the bars and tenants in the area. The area has also experienced vast growth of various bars and clubs. Pub Fiction; one of the areas most popular destinations; headlines the group of establishments. Living in Houston Midtown apartments offers one bonus, tenants who have had a little to much to drink can walk home.
Recently the area just West of Midtown, the Memorial Heights area, has also seen several new high end apartment communities open its doors for business. Many would be renters are now selecting inner loop locations near the Downtown/Midtown area as their future residence. This has led to declines in vacancies and an increase in rents. Midtown apartment residents are right in the middle of the action. There is never a dull moment. And with the convenience of the Houston light rail, you can get around the city without having to set foot in your car.
