While some parts of Houston stay tranquil enough to feel like an escape from living in one of the largest cities in the country, the Woodlake-Westchase neighborhood forms a distinctively urban environment that reinforces that reality. The city’s elite flock to this area of high-rise apartments and upscale mansions, not only for the residential homes, but also for the work centers as well. In fact, over 1,500 businesses are based in this section of town, including the headquarters of BMC Software, The Men’s Warehouse, and Randall’s Food Market. With such big names around, the smaller neighborhoods found within this community buzz with activity. The Mid West, for example, bursts with options for nightlife in the form of bars, clubs, and restaurants. And, the Memorial Villages, a residential oasis composed of six independent villages, takes pride in its sense of community.

Neighborhood Vibe

The “work hard, play hard” mentality is embedded in the DNA of the Woodlake-Westchase area. While Monday through Friday sees everyone at the grind, the weekends send the locals to Westheimer Road, an entertainment hot spot where they sip chic, craft cocktails at Sophie or down oysters by the dozen alongside abundant seafood towers at Loch Bar. To satisfy any cravings for a Sunday Funday with less alcohol and more exercise, hit the courts, and make new friends in the process at Woodlake Community Park.

Our Favorite Spots

The culinary scene in Woodlake-Westchase is one of the city’s best-kept secrets. The restaurants here might not look flashy or lead with aesthetics, but they more than make up for it in flavor. Enter Rudi Lechner’s Restaurant, and transport yourself to Munich during Oktoberfest after multiple rounds of schnitzels and steins of beer. Or, take your taste buds on a trip to France at Bistro Le Cep, where the decadent and delicious creations include such classics as Coq au Vin and Canard à l’Orange.

Things to Know

Not only does this area serve as a business hub, but it also provides one of the most convenient locations from which to commute to other parts of the city. The METRO public transit system maintains a park-and-ride station for residents to travel easily to and from the heart of Downtown. And, this station will only grow more efficient, due to additional plans for expanding the amount of parking spots at the location in years to come.

Great service, takes the stress out of apartment searching. This is actually my second time using Aptamigo in Denver. Worked with Bralie who was amazing. She was super communicative, candid, helpful, and definitely knew a lot about the market and buildings before touring. You pretty much just have a conversation on what you're looking for and they take care of the rest. Thanks for the help!

Great experience with Bobby. I contacted him literally only a day before flying out to Austin, and he was able to set up appointments for me the very next day. He picked me up and drove me around to the different places, and when I suddenly found out I'd have another roommate, he worked with me to pivot into finding 2/2's instead of 1/1's. He talked to each of the leasing…

AptAmigo's apartment locator service was an absolute LIFESAVER for my partner and I!! Aptamigo offered to connect me with an expert for free and I didn't think it would be legit. Julia emailed me that night offering to set up a call the next day, I was concerned about how much it would cost me and she assured me it would all be completely free. So she called me the next day and…

Wow! What a time saver! Had a short time to find apartment and after an introduction call, where we discussed my needs/wants, Liz sent me over a list of potential apartments. She then set up all the appointments as I was flying in for 2 days to view. She found places that fit my budget and desires and selected the second apartment viewed as it was perfect! I cannot rave enough…

I was planning to move from out of state to Chicago and Vanessa at AptAmigo quickly reached out and provided some recommendations. The website was easy to use to learn about different locations and see reviews. Vanessa was always ready to help and acted fast when I made a decision. I’m not sure how she had so much time in her day, but I would highly recommend signing up if you are moving.

My roommate and I were struggling with finding the right apartment that met all of our ends (price, move-in date, location) and I reached out to AptAmigo for help. Bobby helped us find an apartment within a few hours and we were able to apply and sign the lease within a few days. He was so helpful and answered all my questions that I had. Definitely recommend! (and its free)

I had been looking at apartments in Chicago for months and had no luck finding anything. Then my friend told me that Apt. Amigo really helped her and she referred me to Kristin. It was such a pleasure working with her, she made it such an easy process and I ended up finding an apartment I really liked! Thanks Kristin :)

I was moving to area from out of state on a VERY tight time frame. Marlee was absolutely amazing, from our initial interaction thru the entire process could not have imagined such exceptional service. Marlee is the definition of professional. Thank you.
