With all the independence of an apartment, but all the amenities of a hotel, this home is in one of Houston's most sought-after neighbourhoods, Rice Military. It's not the most glamorous home in our collection but it's smart, comfortable and it's super easy to feel at home here. The building is designed around a splendid communal pool – perfect for tackling that Houston heat – with a courtyard and grill stations offering lots of outdoor space. Plus you'll have your own private balcony so you can sit out with a cup of coffee each morning and plan the day. There's a cosy, relaxed feel to the home itself, with warm wood floors and contemporary styling, and the open-plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen and a dining table. The building has a gym so you can fit in a workout, as well as a great guest lounge with a pool table and coffee bar. The neighbourhood has plenty of places to eat and drink, and you're just a twenty-minute walk from beautiful Memorial Park.
