It's rarely the wrong apartment. It's a decision made on information that was wrong to begin with. 01 ### The listing is already gone Sites keep a unit posted after it's leased. They already got paid for sending you the lead. You find out after the drive, and the application fee doesn't come back. 02 ### "Two months free" isn't the rent The advertised number and the number you actually pay over the lease term are two different figures, and the renewal rate is a third. Most renters don't see the gap until the offer letter. 03 ### The screening answer depends on who answered Apartment screening is property-specific. Ask for the current written criteria and whether the community accepts a guarantor or another conditional approval option before paying an application fee. A larger deposit does not guarantee approval. We help compare the requirements with the information you share about your rental history.

The Texas Medical Center lies just to the east. That makes this corridor a common search for people working at MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann, Houston Methodist, and Texas Children's. Loop 610 runs through the middle of the corridor, US-59/I-69 is north, and Beltway 8 is further west. The Brays Bayou Greenway runs through the area, a paved trail that heads east toward the Medical Center for cyclists and walkers. For renters who work at the TMC, it is a genuine bike commute option. Bus service runs along South Braeswood Boulevard and Chimney Rock Road. There is no rail in the neighborhood; the METRORail Red Line is at the Medical Center to the east. For most commutes from here, a car is the practical choice. Bellaire and West University Place are immediately adjacent, and the Galleria sits north up I-610. Our free commute tool lets you check drive and transit times for your own hours. Share your campus or office and your usual start time and we will build the list around the commute you actually have. The inventory ## Compare the Apartment Communities in This Area For an apartment, ask the leasing office about maintenance requests, parking, pet rules and lease length. Get any terms that matter to your decision in writing before applying. Our locating service covers apartment communities only. Older apartment buildings along the corridor may bill utilities on one shared meter. Some include water or bundle electricity into a flat monthly charge rather than a separately metered account. Ask what is included before comparing rents and get the answer in writing. The flood question comes first in any talk about renting here. Meyerland and the Brays Bayou corridor flooded three years running: Memorial Day 2015, Tax Day 2016, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Major bayou widening and detention work has been done since, but the history is real. Check the address on the [current FEMA flood map](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home) and [the Harris County Flood Control District viewer](https://www.hcfcd.org/) before applying. Then ask the owner or leasing office whether the property flooded in 2015, 2016, or 2017. We show you how to check flood history and treat it as the first question. Answers First ## Braeswood / Meyerland questions ### Did properties here flood in Harvey or the 2015 and 2016 floods? Many did. The Brays Bayou corridor flooded three years running: Memorial Day 2015, Tax Day 2016, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Before you apply anywhere here, check the address on the current FEMA flood map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer. Then ask the owner or leasing office directly whether the property flooded in 2015, 2016, or 2017. After Harvey, 68% of Harris County homes that flooded were outside the 100-year floodplain, so a clean map result does not settle the question. Renters insurance does not cover flood; NFIP contents-only coverage is inexpensive. ### Are utilities included in apartments in this corridor? That depends on the building. Older apartment complexes along South Braeswood, Chimney Rock, and Beechnut may bill utilities on one shared meter. Some include water or bundle electricity into a flat monthly charge. Ask exactly what is and is not included before comparing rents, get the answer in writing, and confirm it is in the lease. We can share what we've heard about a building's utility setup. For electricity, CenterPoint owns the wires, and with a separate metered account you choose your own retail provider on the state's Power to Choose site. ### What should I compare before I apply for an apartment here? For an apartment, ask the leasing office about maintenance requests, parking, pet rules and lease length. Get any terms that matter to your decision in writing before applying. Our locating service covers apartment communities only. ### How far is this area from the Texas Medical Center? Close. The Medical Center sits just east by car, though rush hour slows the trip. The Brays Bayou Greenway runs from the corridor toward the Medical Center on a paved trail, a real bike commute option for TMC workers. The METRORail Red Line is at the Medical Center but does not extend to this neighborhood, so most commutes are by car or bike. Check drive and bike times to your TMC campus with our free commute tool. ### Can I rent here with a broken lease or bad credit? Apartment screening is property-specific. Ask for the current written criteria and whether the community accepts a guarantor or another conditional approval option before paying an application fee. A larger deposit does not guarantee approval. We help compare the requirements with the information you share about your rental history. ### What are the new draft FEMA flood maps for Harris County? Draft FEMA maps went to Harris County floodplain officials in February 2026, and they would expand the mapped floodplain in parts of the county. They are not final, and they will not change insurance or lender requirements until they are; the county's timeline points to about 2028. They are still worth comparing alongside the current maps before you commit to an address here. The Harris County Flood Control District viewer is a good companion source. We can show you how to compare current and draft maps for any address you are considering. ### Is there a free apartment locator near me in Meyerland or Braeswood? Houston Apartment Locators covers the full corridor: Braeswood Place, Meyerland, Willow Meadows, Willowbend, and the South Braeswood, Chimney Rock, and Beechnut Street corridors.

We usually have a list, matched to your budget and move date, back to you in a day or two. ### How do I check the school assignment for an apartment? Houston ISD serves the neighborhood. School boundaries follow specific streets rather than the neighborhood name. If school assignment matters to you, check the HISD boundary lookup by address before committing to a unit. We can show you how to look up the school district for any address. Still have a question? [Ask us](/contact/) and we'll answer it straight.
