It offers a combination of lush green trees and modern buildings. Here you will find one of the city’s popular universities. Rice University is one of the terrific offerings in this area. Hermann Park is definitely one of the locations that make this destination special. Citizens from around the state, journey to this area each week. It provides close proximity to the Museum District.

This is a fantastic area. Rice University, a large outdoor park, the Houston Zoo, and the Houston medical center are very close. The area has tons of fine dining and retail available. The atmosphere is different though, with all the local liberal college students that Rice University attracts. I would suggest Mi Luna restaurant if you are in the area!
