<p>Near Rice: outdoor theater, Park, zoo, light rail, really cool museums, golf course, little lake, Rice Village (full of lots of nice places to eat and bars and shops, and walkable from Rice), near the Heights and some charming neighborhoods, fairly close to Reliant stadium, near Opera, Ballet, theater options, across from Largest medical center…
Seems like a lot of cool things in Houston to me - and both my kids loved their time there. (DS had free tickets from Rice to go see the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships yesterday - how cool is that?)</p>
