Discovery Green - Houston, TX Area Guide

A Downtown Houston area centered on one of Houston’s most lively parks

Urban Walkable Public Transportation Great Location Exciting

Stretching along the west side of I-69 in Downtown Houston, Discovery Green is the name of the neighborhood set between I-45 and Franklin St., as well as the park at its center. The park itself is the center of many city-wide events and celebrations, and some of Houston’s best restaurants and bars are just outside the sprawling green space.

Home to some of Houston’s most luxurious apartments, Discovery Green makes for convenient living in the fourth largest city in the country. Renting here puts residents minutes away from George R. Brown Convention Center, Minute Maid Park, and the House of Blues Houston. The shopping and entertainment centers along Main St. are just blocks away too.
