When You Can Park the Car and Still Have Worlds of Fun
In a city like Houston, where automobiles reign supreme, it can be hard to imagine spending days exploring shops, restaurants, parks, and events without ever taking the car out of the garage. Only, it’s really not so farfetched. In fact, it is a reality for people who live at Aris Market Square.
This luxury Hines high-rise is in the heart of downtown Houston, right across the street from Market Square Park at 409 Travis Street. The Market Square Historical District provides a vibrant community right outside the front door — with the rest of downtown short walks or rail rides away too.
The proof of Aris’ pedestrian-friendly lifestyle comes in the numbers. The high-rise walkability score clocks in at 95 out of 100. Walkability is determined by factors such as safety, security, and comfort when it comes to a person’s decision to walk places. This Houston high-rise is a walker’s paradise. Yes, residents in this for rent luxury tower can accomplish daily errands without a car.
Hopping on the rail is another easy option, and the Aris earned a score of 88 out of 100 for its “Excellent Transit” options. Going somewhere on two wheels instead of four is another Aris perk. The bike score comes in at 85 out of 100, which means it’s “Very Bikeable” for residents to zoom around downtown. Aris’ amenities make biking even easier, with on-site bike storage and even a dedicated bike repair room.
Of course, sometimes you don’t want to stray too far from home. And having world-class restaurants an elevator ride away is no small perk. Bravery Chef Hall is a 9,000-square-foot food hall on the ground level of Aris Market Square. From modern Vietnamese dishes at The Blind Goat, helmed by Christine Ha, winner of MasterChef Season 3, to Italian food at BOH Pasta & Pizza to responsibly sourced beef and pork at Cherry Block Craft Butcher + Kitchen and the talents of former Uchi sushi chefs Patrick Pham and Daniel Lee at Kokoro Sushi and Yakitori, you truly have it all. Right downstairs.
In addition to the chef-driven restaurants, Bravery Chef Hall also brings easy access to coffee, cocktails, and wine. There’s even a Secret Garden for you to discover.
