Museum District
The Museum District offers luxury condos, historic homes, and proximity to Houston’s cultural attractions.
The neighborhood the City calls Museum Park is a district of large homes, small apartment buildings, and scattered commercial buildings between Downtown and the Texas Medical Center. It covers 359 acres, and its housing units more than doubled, from 1,806 in 2000 to 4,069 in 2019. What you can buy here comes down to a few distinct building types, with Hermann Park and the Museum District’s 21 cultural institutions next door.
Many of Museum Park’s pre-World War II buildings have been renovated, and some new low- and high-density residential construction has been added among them.
The Parklane, at 1701 Hermann Drive, is a 35-story condominium tower overlooking Hermann Park, and its residences are marketed with unobstructed park views. 1400 Hermann Drive is another condominium high-rise on the park.
The Mosaic on Hermann Park is a pair of condominium towers beside the park.

The City’s Museum Park super neighborhood is bounded by Highway 59 to the north, Almeda Road to the east, Hermann Park to the south, and Main Street to the west. It sits among Midtown, Neartown-Montrose, University Place, MacGregor, Greater Third Ward, and the Medical Center area.
No. The Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel are located in Montrose, and the Moody Center for the Arts is located on the Rice University campus. None of these three are member institutions of the Houston Museum District organization. (Miller Outdoor Theatre and the Houston Zoo, however, are member institutions).
No. The Houston Museum District covers about four square miles, so an address can be in the Museum District and still fall outside the City’s Museum Park boundary.
The Medical Center area is one of the neighbors the City lists for Museum Park. Rice University, at 6100 Main Street, is across Main Street from the Texas Medical Center.
Highway 288. It was built in the 1970s and separated Museum Park from Riverside.
George H. Hermann gave the City the land for Hermann Park in 1914.
