Boulevard

A Garden-Style Gem Steps From Rice Village

The Boulevard offers a rare thing inside the loop: a quiet, garden-style community in a premium neighborhood at a reasonable rent. The homes carry in-unit washers and dryers and hardwood floors, with vaulted ceilings, crown molding, or sunrooms in select units. Mature landscaping gives the grounds a peaceful, tucked-away feel. A pool with a sunning deck, a fitness center, a clubhouse, and covered parking round out the amenities. Location is the headline. Rice University is about a mile away, with Hermann Park, Rice Village, and the Museum District all close and the Texas Medical Center a short drive. Restaurants and cafes like Hobbit Cafe and Slowpokes sit within walking distance, and Highway 59 handles the commute. For renters who want an Upper Kirby address near Rice and the Med Center without a high-rise rent, the Boulevard is a dependable choice.
