Its central location within the Inner Loop and its great entertainment and retail options are two of Midtown's best strengths.
With the Southwest and Gulf freeways and access to three stops of the METRORail Red Line, Midtown provides a fairly easy commute. Montrose, Downtown, the Museum District, and the Medical Center are within minutes of the neighborhood.
The 617-acre district houses numerous bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and art galleries. Several retail stores are also conveniently located within Midtown.
Midtown wasn't always the vibrant community it is today.
In the 1980s, the oil glut caused a decline in Houston neighborhoods. Midtown was one of the district's hardest hit. The decline stretched into the 90s, up until the city of Houston formed the Midtown TIRZ (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone) in 1995. The Midtown Management District was also established years later.
In those early days, property developers were reluctant to come to Midtown due to its poor reputation. Redevelopment efforts, however, started to bring in more commercial establishments to the district. These efforts led to residential projects.
Midtown is now considered a trendy and lively neighborhood, though some parts are still under development. There is still work to be done. But Midtown is on its way back to becoming one of Houston's best neighborhoods.

We had the best experience working with Lisa Iglesias and the entire Houston Properties team. Lisa was always honest and provided insightful feedback which was invaluable during the home buying process. Houston is a complicated market and she knows it inside and out. She worked tirelessly for us during an extremely difficult and volatile market. I can't recommend her highly enough! - Jen Schulten (Google Review)
Midtown’s redevelopment spurred the new construction of townhomes. They are the most common housing option in the district.
Townhomes in Midtown typically feature multi-level construction.
Luxury townhomes in the district feature four-story construction with 3 bedrooms and 3 and a half baths. Some even feature 2-car garages, roof decks, terraces, game rooms, front- and/or backyards, high ceilings, and gated entry.
Property values in Midtown have steadily and significantly increased over the past decade. Prices, however, vary depending on factors like year built, square footage, and location.
Prices range from $300,000 for an older 2-bedroom 1,900 square foot loft to over $500,000 for an upscale 2,500 square foot new construction 4-story Midtown townhome.
Fun Things To Do In and Around Midtown
"Buying a house in Houston with The Houston Properties Team was just the start of our relationship. They helped me build friends, relationships, and support as a new resident in Houston. They truly went above and beyond to help make our lives better even after our move." – Brandon, Google Review
The neighborhood’s mixed-use urban planning provides its residents with great options right by their doorsteps. It has a lively street scene with a variety of dining, shopping, and nightlife options.
True to its new “trendy” reputation, Midtown houses a number of bars and lounges, including a dog-friendly bar called Saint Dane’s Bar and Grille. Double Cross Lounge is quite popular for serving craft beers and cocktails. The Nouveau Antique Art Bar, on the other hand, serves cocktails alongside eclectic art choices.
Midtown owes its history as Little Saigon. It is also home to several banh mi and pho restaurants like Kim Tai and Thien An Sandwiches.
Retail options are equally eclectic. There is a curious lack of big box retail stores in Midtown. Still, the district does offer a large variety of smaller stores.
There’s Adkins Architectural Antiques. It is a store that sells vintage home decor and also does restorations. The Tinderbox Craft Collective sells art and craft items from local artists and provides craft workshops for interested patrons.
