Connectivity is a key component in the creation of an authentic urban livable community.
It’s not all about living in Midtown, we’re
just as concerned about how people get
here. In the heart of Houston’s transit
system, Midtown is home to three rail
stations, a host of bus stations and Texas’
first GreenRoads-certified complete
street. We’re at the center of how things
move in Houston. With the expansion of
the University Line, mobility improves for
Midtown, offering service to the University
of Houston, Texas Southern University,
Greenway Plaza and Uptown Houston.
