Gulfton Houston Affordable Housing

Gulfton is one of Houston's most densely populated and culturally diverse neighborhoods, located just south of the Galleria between Hillcroft and Fondren. Often called the "International District," Gulfton is home to large Central American, South American, Mexican, West African, and Vietnamese communities, with a remarkable concentration of international restaurants, markets, and cultural businesses.

Housing in Gulfton is predominantly apartment complexes — many large 200+ unit properties built in the 1970s–1980s that offer Houston's most affordable rents for Galleria-adjacent location. Studios run $700–$1,000/mo, one-bedrooms $850–$1,400/mo, and two-bedrooms $1,100–$1,700/mo. Many complexes are well-managed and have undergone renovations.

The Galleria is walkable from parts of Gulfton, and the Westheimer and Hillcroft corridors provide bus access across the city. The Texas Medical Center is 20 minutes east, and the Southwest Freeway (US-59) and Beltway 8 provide regional connectivity.

We serve Gulfton renters in English and Spanish and can communicate basic needs in other languages as well. If you need affordable housing near the Galleria, reach out.
