Mixing Old with New in a location near Downtown
Nestled close to the heart of Houston, the community of Rice Military offers everything a Houston resident needs. Historic properties mixed with modern townhouses line streets that offer small town retailers and a happening nightlife. If you’re looking for a community that offers that small town feel right in Houston, Rice Military is the one you want to consider.

History

The history of Rice Military is shrouded in mystery. The land switched hands several times under a variety of names until the name “Rice Military” showed up on a subdivision map in1910. No one knows why it was named this, although some locals believe it was named in honor of Camp Logan, which is not far from the neighborhood. However, Camp Logan was not established until 1917, so this is likely not the case.

In its earliest days, Rice Military was a rural location with bungalows and tree-lined streets. However, in the 1990s artists began to arrive, and the nature of the community began to change. By 2003 it had attracted young professionals because of its convenient location and quieter atmosphere. A roundabout connecting the neighborhood with downtown Houston has helped it grow into a real urban center.

What Makes Rice Military Special?

Rice Military is all about location. Directly connected with downtown Houston, this area of transition appeals to an upwardly mobile crowd who wants to be near the city. In fact, it’s really the ideal Inner Loop Community for those who want the feel of living in a suburb but really need to live near downtown.

From your home in Rice Military, you can walk to both Memorial Park and Nellie Keyes Park. A variety of hike and bike trails invite you to spend time outdoors with your neighbors. The community boasts Victorian era houses and the Main Street-like Washington Street, with its restaurants, sidewalk cafes and live music.

Rice Military Real Estate

Rice Military is an interesting mix of the old and new. In fact, it has some of the oldest and newest Houston real estate options, so you can shop for newly constructed properties and homes in Victorian era buildings, all without leaving the community. One of the oldest properties in Rice Military was built in 1900, and it stands as a testament to the longevity of the community. However, many of the properties are more modern, and two- to three-story town homes and patio homes that are less than 20 years old are quite common.

Working with a qualified realtor will ensure that you find the perfect home in Rice Military for your needs. Whether you’re shopping for a historic property or something a bit more modern, Inner loop Houston Realtor Bill Edge has the experience you need to find the right house and negotiate the right price.
