Macgregor — 8/10 Rating (based on 9 neighborhood reviews)
Good accessibility to the med center/rice village (8 min drive), montrose (13 min), and anywhere else you want to go! Traffic gets backed up but that's literally everywhere in Houston. Some small crimes occur in higher frequency in this area (break ins or robberies), but not an overwhelming transient population. Close to the museums and Hermann Park.

I have never felt unsafe, but some people do. I walk to and from school and have never had any issues with people around here. Even has a trail that I can run on so I love that.

Vue on MacGregor
The apartment is right across from Hermann Park. I usually go out for a walk or run. There have been a couple of instances of cars broken into in the area, however the apartment complex comes with a parking garage. No instances have happened inside the garage.

Neighbors are super friendly, met a lot of them at the dog park and are so kind to help out when needed. All relatively quiet, the occasional noise from things dropped upstairs or next door but over all not bad at all. This building used to be a hospital so it’s built very sturdy.

The Marquis Lofts at Hermann Park
Easy access to everything - right off the highway but a 15 minute drive to more social spots of Upper Kirby, Montrose, Rice Village, The Heights. Quiet, family and pet friendly. There's a nice park down the street and also blocks away from Hermann Park.
