Oriented around education and healthcare, the neighborhood of Medical Center isn’t limited to doctors, students, and researchers. As it continues to develop, Medical Center is evolving into a desirable residential location for all, due in part to its proximity to some of Houston’s top attractions.

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Residents of Medical Center are surrounded by a plethora of Houston’s greatest attractions, as well as ample retail and dining districts. Less than 20 minutes north, for instance, The Galleria Mall serves as one of the city’s finest shopping locations and houses more than 400 retailers including designer brands like Balenciaga, Versace, and Chanel
 
The true star of the show in Medical Center, however, is its surplus of entertainment options, beginning with the massive expanse of the Houston Zoo set in Hermann Park. A leader in conservation and rehabilitation, the Houston Zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals and serves as the second-most visited zoo in the nation. 
 
Set beside Hermann Park, the Houston Museum District is the city’s cultural heart. Its 19 museums are highly diverse in specialty, ranging from The Children’s Museum Houston and The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, to the Houston Museum of African American Culture and The Holocaust Museum Houston.
 

Things to Do

More than just its vast green landscape and family-friendly zoo, Hermann Park is a tourism destination in its own right and has several of the city’s must-see spots. The Museum of Natural Science settled on the parks’ northern tip is a premier cultural institution — both for the city and the nation. Its educational exhibits transport visitors throughout the universe, from flora-dense tropical jungles to the starry cosmos above. 
 
Entertaining shows bring in thousands of people throughout the year at the Miller Outdoor Theatre, which provides professional-level performances for free to the public. Dive into the sublime wonder of nature by visiting the park’s many gardens, including the 15-acre McGovern Centennial Gardens and the tranquil Japanese Garden.
