Morningside Place - Houston, TX Area Guide

Directly south of downtown Houston sits the subdivision of Morningside Place, a calm, residential community of single-family houses for rent located away from the hustle of the city. Access the downtown area in 20 minutes using the Sam Houston Tollway and State Highway 288 South, both of which run right through the area. At Tom Bass Regional Park III, sit along the fishing pier and enjoy beautiful lakeside views or grill hamburgers in the barbecue pavilion. Nearby Rice Village provides Morningside Place residents with an active commercial district filled with shops and restaurants. Pick up some great reads at Half Price Books, then indulge in a slice of German chocolate cake at the Chocolate Bar, or try Turkish cuisine at Istanbul Grill & Deli.
