Locate an Apartment in Braeswood or Meyerland With Local Help

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
