Many did. The Brays Bayou corridor flooded in three consecutive years: the 2015 Memorial Day flood, the 2016 Tax Day flood, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Before you apply to any property here, check the address on both the current FEMA flood map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer, and ask the owner or leasing office directly whether the property flooded in 2015, 2016, or 2017. After Harvey, 68% of Harris County structures that flooded were outside the 100-year floodplain - a clean map result does not settle the question. Standard renters insurance does not cover flood; NFIP contents-only coverage is available and inexpensive. We check flood history for every address on your list and treat it as the primary question.

It depends on the building. Older apartment complexes along South Braeswood, Chimney Rock, and Beechnut may be master-metered - some include water or bundle electricity into a flat monthly charge. Ask specifically what is and is not included before comparing rents, get the answer in writing, and confirm it is in the lease. We ask about the utility setup for every address on your list. For electricity, CenterPoint owns the wires; if you have a separate metered account, you choose your own retail provider on the state's Power to Choose site.

Both. Garden apartment complexes run along South Braeswood Boulevard, Chimney Rock Road, and Beechnut Street. A substantial share of what rents here is single-family houses leased by individual owners, many of them mid-century ranch homes. Owner-leased houses carry the owner's rules on yard maintenance and pets - ask who mows and confirm the pet policy before committing. Some houses have been elevated after Harvey, which changes the entry. We send both types with availability verified.

About ten minutes east by car outside peak. The Brays Bayou Greenway also runs from the corridor toward the Medical Center on a paved trail - a real bike commute option for TMC workers. The METRORail Red Line is at the Medical Center but does not extend to this neighborhood, so most commutes are by car or bike. We attach drive and bike times from each address to your specific TMC campus.

Apartment complexes along Braeswood, Chimney Rock, and Beechnut run formal leasing processes with conditional paths - these typically include guarantor programs through TheGuarantors or LibertyRent, a larger deposit, or a co-signer. Individual owners leasing houses decide case by case and vary widely. We confirm actual screening criteria in writing before you spend an application fee, and we do not promise approval - you will know where you stand before you apply.

Draft FEMA maps released in early 2026 would expand the mapped floodplain in parts of Harris County. They are not finalized - they will not change insurance or lender requirements until they are, likely two to three years out - but they are worth comparing alongside the current maps before you commit to an address here. The Harris County Flood Control District viewer is a good companion source. We check both current and draft maps when relevant to an address on your list.

Houston Apartment Locators Group covers the full corridor - Braeswood Place, Meyerland, Willow Meadows, Willowbend, and the South Braeswood, Chimney Rock, and Beechnut Street corridors. Text us your budget and move date for a same-day verified list.

Houston ISD serves the neighborhood. School boundaries follow specific streets rather than the neighborhood name - check the HISD boundary lookup by specific address before committing to a unit if school assignment is a factor. We note the school district on every option we send.
