This is the hidden charm of a home apartment that has been 2025 upgraded 100% from outside to fully upgraded kitchens and bathrooms with only 3 story outdoor corridors to use steps vs 10-20 floor high-rises causing you to use elevators daily...to inside looking fabulous. The location is highest in elevation - flood proof last 30 years and is 25 -35 minutes from Bush or Hobby Airport and 5 minutes from Downtown Houston as well as in the middle of Montrose and River Oaks (5-10 minutes from great... restaurants !) across the Buffalo Bayou and close to Memorial Park for outdoor activities. Moved in 2014 and never left 12 year later ! Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing this — what a thoughtful and detailed reflection on your experience. It’s clear how much you value the upgrades, the quieter three-story design, and the convenience of being close to so many key Houston spots without feeling... surrounded by traffic or noise. Highlighting the elevation and long history of staying flood-free adds a perspective many people don’t think about until it matters. And staying for 12 years says a lot about how well the community has worked for you. -Your Team at Cortland River Oaks
