Texas Trotter

  With everything going on right now in the world, there’s an easy push to want to kick back and relax with family and friends. The good news is that, if you’re a lover of music like I am, you now have the chance to experience all the magic and fun of the holiday season with Fever Originals’ Candlelight concert series! This series, taking place primarily in various Downtown Houston locations, is the perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy some truly spectacular music under the comforting outdoor glow of candlelight. I’ve made no bones about Downtown Houston in the past and I still hold true to the fact that it’s a wonderful part of the city to enjoy, from dining to shopping locations you won’t want to miss. Based on my past experiences, apartment residents in Villa Nueva, Providence at Heights, Bayou Park, and so on, are all still the luckiest members of the Houston apartment community as they are a mere ten minutes away from downtown but without all the messy fanfare that is Houston

  Baytown is probably one of the most unique places to live in all of Texas. This Gulf Coast-centric area of the state is a major contributor to Texas’ oil and gas industry, as well as an ideal spot to fish and enjoy a sunny Saturday out on the water. It’s a quiet and peaceful city, but without being boring! And Baytown’s Town Square is a true testament to that fact as there’s never a dull moment here! For Baytown residents living in the Town Square area, you’ll find that convenience, entertainment, and all the perks of fashionable living are never out of reach as residents have close access to all the major highlights of the Baytown region. In terms of the best places to live when commuting to Baytown’s Town Square, I heavily recommend Bay Oaks Apartments, Marina Club Apartments, and Providence at Baytown. These residential living facilities are all less than ten minutes away from the Town Square and provide quick and easy access to the best places to shop and eat within the area. For

I love Houston’s nightlife. I love it even MORE SO when it’s in one of the most vibrant, entertaining spots in the city. Vintage Park is all about curiosity and fun--you never know what you’ll find there to see or do! And it all comes coated in one exotic, upscale package as this area boasts some of the highest highs when it comes to wealthy Houstonian daily life. Vintage Park hosts some of the most unique and diverse shopping and eating venues across the city. You’ll find that it’s all so incredibly amazing to look at, from the experimental Mom n’ Pop eateries to the glowing bar-life to the cute little bakeries, currently decorated with festive holiday cheer. It’s the perfect place to live as a single person trying to enjoy yourself before settling down. And with residential apartments like Tivoli right on the Vintage Park stretch, you have quick access to all the very best spots without having to really leave the area. There’s more to Vintage Park than just the food and shopping, how

  There’s living near typical shopping venues and then there’s living near the Galleria . This area of Houston is famous for a reason--it’s pretty much the spot of all spots when it comes to shopping and convenience. You’re just not going to find a dry spell of exciting things to see and do as the Galleria is primed to always keep you on your toes with exciting new developments in food and shopping! The Galleria is located near the Tanglewood and Larchmont areas, noted for their opulent atmospheres. You’ll find that you can have your pick of all kinds of different food options, from tasty fast food to exotic multicultural fine dining experiences. For apartment-goers, this area has residential living in spades. Apartment complexes like City West, Barcelona, Establishment, and Diamond Hill are literally just down the road from the Galleria. And, of course, there’s always the JW Marriott for guests and travelers exploring some of Houston’s most exciting scenic locations. The Galleria is a

  The edges of Downtown Houston are some of the most interesting and diverse spots in the city. There, you’ll find everything from coffee shops to jazz clubs to exquisite fine dining experiences, all while still having that cozy suburban feel that keeps things close to home.  For residents living near this part of town, there’s a unique amount of access to the city while still getting the chance to cultivate their own identity as suburban Houstonians. Even so, there’s no shortage of fun things to see and do, especially when you’re a young apartment resident in close proximity to the freeway into the city.  In terms of the closest places to stay in proximity to the city, the best spot is easily the apartments of Bayou Park, or at the nearby hotels in the surrounding area. They are an easy and painless eight-minute drive into the city without the severity of Houston traffic getting in the way! And the great thing about this area is that it’s an ideal spot for both single Millennials and

  The Woodlands never ceases to entertain the public when it comes to festivities! From the Woodlands Mall to the Woodlands Pavillion, there’s no shortage of exciting thrills and activities to choose from.  Those living nearby or close to the highway are truly privileged in that they have access to many different entertainment venues within the Woodlands area. Nearby apartment residents that have a 10-minute route into town can enjoy the sprawling sights and smells of one of Houston’s wealthiest scenic locations without having to pay the expensive amount of rent required of direct Woodlands residents, giving them a much-coveted advantage to have all the perks of the Woodlands without the financial hassle. In my humble opinion, it’s probably the best way to stay true to the other sections of Houston while still getting the chance to live the high life of a Woodlands native! This November 14th and 15th in Town Green Park, the Woodlands is hosting the Houston Music and Arts Festival! This
