Very few. The neighborhood is almost entirely owner-leased single-family houses on large treed lots, with a small number of high-rise condo units and one or two apartment buildings on the edges. There is no conventional apartment complex in the interior. If you want a professionally managed building with a pool and gym, the Galleria and Briargrove areas are minutes away and carry that inventory. We route you honestly either way.

It depends on the owner. Yard maintenance is often the tenant's responsibility on owner-leased houses here, but it varies by unit and lease. Ask specifically before you sign - it is a recurring cost and obligation worth knowing before move-in. We confirm yard maintenance terms for every address on your list before we send it.

From the north side of the neighborhood along Woodway, Memorial Park is minutes away on foot or by a short drive. The Seymour Lieberman Exercise Trail runs through the park. From the southern parts of the neighborhood, a car is more practical. We note walkable access on each address when it applies.

Buffalo Bayou runs north of Woodway. 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 and subsequent storms. 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.

The Galleria and Briargrove are minutes south and carry real apartment inventory with professional management, formal applications, and consistent approval processes. Upper Kirby and Greenway Plaza are a short drive east and southeast with similar city access. We can run a concurrent search in those areas if the owner-leased market here is too thin for your situation.

When you lease a condo from its owner, the homeowners association also reviews your application after the owner approves you. That typically adds 10 to 14 days to the timeline. Associations set their own rules on pets and lease minimums, and the individual owner cannot override them. We confirm the specific timeline and rules for any condo building before you spend an application fee.

Individual owners decide case by case, and the results vary unpredictably. A direct conversation with the owner and a larger deposit frequently moves a file forward when a corporate policy would not. The Galleria and Briargrove areas have real apartment inventory with formal processes and guarantor programs through TheGuarantors or LibertyRent when you need a predictable path. A screening-report denial generally entitles you to a written notice naming the company and a free copy within 60 days. Ask for written tenant selection criteria before paying an application fee.

Houston Apartment Locators Group covers the owner-leased houses and high-rise condo units in the neighborhood, alongside honest routing to the Galleria and Briargrove when a conventional apartment is what you actually need. Text us your budget and move date for a same-day verified list.
