Your Free Apartment Locator in Rice Military and Cottage Grove

Predominantly, yes. The neighborhood redeveloped almost entirely into three-story townhomes with attached garages. Some newer apartment mid-rise sits on the edges along Washington Avenue. If a professionally managed building with a gym and pool is what you need, we will look at the Washington Avenue corridor and the Heights a few minutes north, which have that inventory.

Three-story townhomes are standard. The garage typically sits on the ground level, living space on the second, and bedrooms on the third - usually two flights between parking and sleeping. Layouts vary, so ask specifically about floor-plan configuration before you tour. We flag the stair count on every townhome address we send.

Genuinely hard. Most townhomes have an attached garage and one driveway spot; street parking fills quickly. Washington Avenue bar and restaurant traffic on Friday and Saturday nights makes it worse. Confirm parking options for guests before you commit to the address - it is a detail worth knowing before move-in, not after.

From the Rice Military side, parts of the neighborhood are a short walk to the park boundary. The recent land bridge over Memorial Drive connects the park's two sections, and the Seymour Lieberman Exercise Trail runs through the grounds. Cottage Grove sits slightly further from the park entrance. We note walkable distance on each address.

Buffalo Bayou runs south of the neighborhood. Check every address against the current FEMA map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer before applying, and ask the owner directly about Harvey. After Harvey, 68% of Harris County structures that flooded were outside the 100-year floodplain - a clean map result does not settle the question. Renters insurance does not cover flood; NFIP contents-only coverage is available and inexpensive.

Individual owners here decide case by case and the answer varies. A direct conversation with the owner and a larger deposit frequently moves a file forward when a corporate policy would not. The newer apartment mid-rise on the edges runs formal processes with consistent approval paths - a guarantor program through TheGuarantors or LibertyRent can bridge a gap there. We confirm screening criteria in writing before you spend an application fee. Texas landlords must provide written tenant selection criteria before you pay; look yourself up in Harris County JP court records first.

Owner-leased three-story townhomes price above the $1,349 Houston metro average (RentCafe, July 2026), reflecting the close-in location, private garage, and no-shared-walls format. Pricing varies widely by owner, condition, and exact block. We send dated ranges for the specific inventory available when you reach out, with the honest math already done.
