As two of Houston’s most accessible and walkable neighborhoods, living in Midtown or Downtown will make you feel like you possess the keys to the city. Located southwest of Downtown and separated from it by Interstate 45, Midtown’s affordability, cultural attractions, and culinary scene caused the number of residents moving there to double in the past few years. Then, there’s Downtown. Literally in the dead center of H-Town, this part of the city hosts every major event you can catch on your TV screen, including the NBA All-Star Game and the Super Bowl. This neighborhood’s skyscraper-filled streets also mark its status as the business and commercial center of the Lone Star state’s biggest city. Both areas remain perpetual favorites amongst locals for a night out on the town due to their abundance of charming cocktail bars, whimsical coffee shops, retail shopping hot spots, performance venues, and nightlife destinations.
