Your Free Apartment Locator Along Almeda and SH-288

The northern portion of the corridor is Medical Center-adjacent. Drive times to specific TMC campuses depend on which part of the corridor you are in and which campus you work at - MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann, Houston Methodist, and Texas Children's all have different entry points. The METRORail Red Line is at the Medical Center station, walkable from parts of the corridor. We attach campus-specific drive and walk times to every address on your list.

It depends on your usage and time of day. The SH-288 managed lanes run variable pricing. Budget for the daily cost before calling an address here cheaper than one farther from the freeway. A Harris County EZ TAG discount applies to some county-operated tollways but not to the SH-288 managed lanes specifically. We put the estimated toll cost context next to the rent for every address on SH-288.

Depends on the building and the age. Older 1970s and 1980s garden apartments along Almeda are frequently master-metered - some include water or bundle electricity into a flat monthly charge. Newer mid-rise product near the Medical Center's southern edge typically runs separately metered utilities but adds amenity fees and valet trash charges. Ask specifically what is included before comparing rents and get it in writing. We flag the utility setup on every address.

Parts of it have flood history. Brays Bayou runs through the corridor and some addresses flooded in Harvey. Check every specific address against the current FEMA flood map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer before applying, and ask the landlord directly about 2017. After Harvey, 68% of Harris County structures that flooded were outside the 100-year floodplain - a clean map result does not end the question. Standard renters insurance does not cover flood; NFIP contents-only coverage is available and inexpensive.

From the northern portion of the corridor, the Medical Center station is a reasonable walk. From the southern parts of Almeda, it is not walkable - you would drive or take a bus to the station. We note the walk time to the nearest METRORail station on every address where transit matters for your commute.

Older garden apartments along Almeda have real approval discretion at the on-site level. Newer mid-rise near the Medical Center runs formal processes with conditional paths through guarantor programs or a larger deposit. If income is solid, the commute advantage here is real. We confirm screening criteria in writing before you spend an application fee. We do not guarantee approval - you will know where you stand before you apply.

Newer product near the Medical Center's southern edge runs above the $1,349 Houston metro average (RentCafe, July 2026) and often comes with amenity fees, valet trash, and parking charges on top of the listed rent. Confirm the all-in monthly total before comparing it to older garden stock at a lower headline rent. We run the all-in math on every option before we send it.
