Nestled alongside the Buffalo Bayou in Downtown Houston, the Theater District is the city’s sophisticated cultural and entertainment center. Houston’s Theater District stretches 17 blocks, serving as the home base for five landmark venues, seven resident performer companies, and countless restaurants to enjoy. The neighborhood is the place for all things performing arts in Houston, whether you prefer to see a play, concert, or the ballet – or all of the above.
The Theater District also contains the Downtown Aquarium and the offices of several major employers. Renting an apartment in the Theater District places residents within walking distance of Tranquility Park, Market Square Park, and Sesquicentennial Park. Getting around from the Theater District is easy with access to I-45 and the Light Rail.
