An oasis of peace in the heart of the city.

Southgate, located between Rice University and Hermann Park, is a residential and academic Houston neighborhood with tree-lined streets and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along University Boulevard at Morningside Drive, where shaded sidewalks meet a small run of cafes, galleries, and campus-facing storefronts. Local pillars include Rice Village, the Moody Center for the Arts, and the Rice University campus museums and venues. Brick colonials and tidy bungalows sit behind mature oaks, with pocket gardens and wide setbacks shaping a calm streetscape. Trails and lawns at Hermann Park set a daily rhythm for walking and outdoor time. METRORail stops near the park connect the area to the Museum District and Downtown.
