Renters lose money the same three ways, Rice Military / Cottage Grove included.

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.

Getting Around Rice Military: Close to Downtown

Rice Military and Cottage Grove sit between Washington Avenue, Memorial Park, and I-10 (the Katy Freeway). Downtown Houston is a short drive east, with Midtown just beyond it to the southeast. The Galleria sits west via I-10 and the West Loop, and the Texas Medical Center lies south through the Inner Loop. There is no rail service in or near this neighborhood, so a car handles most Houston commutes from here.

Bus service runs on Washington Avenue and Memorial Drive. Allen Parkway connects east to Downtown without hitting a freeway, and I-10 is at the north edge of the neighborhood for longer hauls. The Energy Corridor is a straight I-10 run west.

Memorial Park is walking distance from parts of Rice Military. The recent land bridge over Memorial Drive connects the park's two sides, and the Seymour Lieberman Exercise Trail runs through the grounds. Buffalo Bayou Park sits south along Allen Parkway, linking through to the bayou trail system.

Our free commute tool lets you check drive and transit times for your own hours. Share your workplace and usual start time and we will build the list around the commute you actually have.

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.

Electricity is deregulated: CenterPoint owns the wires, and you choose your own retail electricity provider on the state's Power to Choose site. Read the Electricity Facts Label rather than the teaser rate. Buffalo Bayou runs south, so check every address against the current FEMA map and the Harris County Flood Control District viewer before applying. After Harvey, 68% of Harris County homes that flooded were outside the 100-year floodplain. A clean map result is not the comfort most renters assume. Renters insurance does not cover flood; NFIP contents only coverage is inexpensive.
