Apartments for Rent in Manvel TX

Manvel sits about 23 miles south of Houston in Brazoria County, bordered by Pearland to the north and Alvin to the east. The city covers roughly 24 square miles of flat Texas coastal plain, and its wide-open spaces give it a quieter, more spread-out feel compared to the metro areas just up Highway 288. Residents have quick access to the retail and dining options concentrated in nearby Pearland, and the commute into downtown Houston typically runs around 30 minutes depending on traffic. Manvel incorporated in August 1960 with a population of just 300, and its population has grown dramatically in recent years, crossing 17,000 by 2023. Day-to-day life in Manvel tends to revolve around the car. Grocery runs, dining, and most errands happen along the Highway 6 and Highway 288 corridors. New residential subdivisions like Pomona, Meridiana, Rodeo Palms, Sedona Lakes, and Del Bello Lakes make up much of the city's footprint. The rental market reflects that suburban growth, with most available housing in the form of single-family homes and townhomes. Garden-style apartment communities have also increased as development continues to push southward from Pearland. Alvin Community College is located within about 11 miles of Manvel, and the University of Houston and Rice University are within 25 miles.
