A vibrant haven tucked in the heart of Houston, Rice Village is known for its oak-lined avenues and lovable mix of shops and variegated architecture. It’s an area rooted in a strong sense of place marked by generations of merchants and families. Through the years it has been home to mom-and-pop businesses and quirky variety stores, upscale eateries and boutiques—yet the Village has stayed true to its legacy, to the eclectic magic that distinguishes it from other pockets of the city.

Since 2020, Rice Village has undergone a landmark transformation that is sure to sustain its treasured stature for years to come. Major improvements include the addition of lush landscaping, verdant facades, and artistic moments that complement the area’s majestic canopy of oaks.

The Village’s roster of tenants continues to expand. Wildly successful brands across industries—like Navy Blue, Lululemon, Rice Box, and most recently Kelsey-Seybold, signal that the Village remains a choice destination for discerning businesses and consumers alike.

Springtime is a great time to partake in the vibrancy and versatility of Rice Village. An active events calendar—including the weekly Rice Village Farmers Market, community-wide fundraisers, holiday programming, and seasonal pop-ups—offers ample opportunity to connect with neighbors and cultivate Houston’s first walkable garden district.
