As called the Texas Medical Center, the Medical Center neighbourhood is home to Houston’s major healthcare facilities. This neighbourhood houses the Texas Children's Hospital, Houston Methodist Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Texas Health Science Center, and other medical facilities, making it a great choice for students, professionals, and renters who want easy access to healthcare. Residents also enjoy access to Hermann Park, a massive natural area where the Houston Zoo, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and other attractions are located. Great for students and university employees, Medical Center is convenient to Rice University, Texas Southern University, and the University of Houston. NRG Center and Stadium are only two miles south of the Medical Center, so you’ll be able to catch a rodeo or cheer on the Houston Texans in a matter of minutes. The neighbourhood is known for its upscale rentals but there are more affordable options as well.
