If you're looking to rent a luxury apartment in Houston's River Oaks area, we would love the opportunity to show you around Reverie at River Hollow and all our apartment community offers. Perhaps you are already considering a move here and want to know more.

Exploring our website, you will see available floorplans and a list of our top-tier amenities. The photo gallery gives a peek inside and a neighborhood map shows you what's nearby.

Going beyond that, a good way to learn about an apartment community before moving in is to talk to its residents and staff, so we asked our team and a Reverie resident for tips and insights. Let's find out what they think.  

What Makes Reverie Stand Out Among Apartments in The Area?

According to our team, Reverie stands out by offering luxury mid-rise living in a prime location within Uptown and the River Oaks area, while settled in a quiet neighborhood. Plus, unlike many apartment communities, Reverie is constructed of concrete and steel, attributing to a quieter living environment.

Ed, a Reverie resident for nearly two years, says "the location and size of the property" makes us stand out. 
 
"Off the beaten path and not as large as other properties in the area," he says. “"I love the location. It is very convenient to access major freeways in Houston, and yet feels a little secluded. Close to all kinds of retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores and beautiful Memorial Park."

"Also, the property is managed by the owners (not a 3rd party), which makes a big difference to how well the property is managed," Ed adds. "They are local, family owned and not a huge conglomerate like most of the other apartments in the area. The property is well maintained, and the team here actually cares about its residents! They take great pride in it since they are residents as well. They make you feel like it is your home, not an apartment complex."

The Most Popular Apartment & Community Amenities

The 8th floor social lounge and outdoor sky deck with panoramic views of Memorial Park and Downtown skyline are among the most popular community amenities at Reverie, according to our team. These areas are muti-functional, from working to socializing. 

Ed says the gym is his favorite community amenity.

"Nice size gym, bright and clean!! Has great workout equipment as well as a yoga/exercise room," says Ed. "Has everything you need and is well maintained… I've never had issues getting access to the gym or the equipment. The pool is also very nice!"

 As for apartment amenities, our team thinks the Gourmet chef kitchens with beautiful backsplash design stand out the most. No matter the size of the floorplan, the kitchens are spacious with plenty of cabinets for storage and countertops for food preparation. 

Ed likes the kitchen, too, especially the gas stove: "I love having a gas stove again because it makes cooking much easier for me. I was used to gas from my home. Also being on the 5th floor, I love the higher ceilings! It makes the apartment feel and look bigger!"
 
According to the Reverie team, our 24-hour strength and cardio center with separate yoga/spin studio featuring Wellbeats fitness on demand system is the perfect space to get in a great workout in. The best time to work out is first thing in the morning or in the evening after 7pm.

Fun Resident Social Events a Great Way to Meet Your Neighbors

Reverie brings the community together for monthly resident social events, including events for the furry residents, plus an annual pool party and holiday events. 

The annual winter holiday event is the most popular social event for both residents and our team. Everyone who attends comes dressed in festive attire without any encouragement by the team to do so, and the interaction between the neighbors is "very spirited."

Ed says he attended a few social events. "I enjoyed the event at Postino's, which is across the street from the complex. It was fun, relaxing, and got to meet a few other very nice residents! Great to get out of the building."
 
Reverie posts upcoming resident events on social media including Instagram and Facebook. Be sure to follow us so you don’t miss any events. The team also posts event flyers in common areas. 

What Else Should You Know When Renting an Apartment at Reverie?

Next, we asked Ed and our team what tips they could provide for someone moving to an apartment at Reverie, and what the new residents should know. Here are a few tips the team shared:

• Reverie is a very pet friendly community, and features Fur family member amenity spaces, including a Pet Spa and On-Site Dog Run.
• Our apartment community includes an 8-level parking garage. Floors 1-7 are designated for residents on a “first come, first serve” basis. Level 8 is for guest parking.
• For residents and guests using ride share services, Reverie features an Uber Waiting Lounge. In addition, we are conveniently located within walking distance of METRORapid Transit.
• Residents can add their own light fixture in the living room, giving their home a personal decorative touch. Apartments do not include overhead lighting in the living room; however, they are all wired to allow residents the opportunity to customize their space.

Ed's tip is that while Reverie is quiet most of the time, new and potential residents should be aware of the traffic and congestion in the area at different times of the day. 

"This is one of the busiest areas of Houston with lots to do and see," he says. "It is city living, but off the beaten path."

Reverie's Location in the River Oaks Area

Although our location provides easy access to major highways, employers, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping, it is in a quiet, secluded neighborhood where residents can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere without hearing city traffic congestion. 

Single residents enjoy walkability to local restaurants and nightlife. Families appreciate the convenience of living in a neighborhood that is family-friendly and great for walking anytime, day or night. The proximity to excellent public and private schools is also a plus. 

Ed describes the area as "very cosmopolitan, global (lots of international folks) and open to all." He adds that the area is a great place for singles to live. "Lots of new interesting people are moving to Houston, and you get to meet many of them!"

Recommended Restaurants & Things to Do in the Area

Ed recommends shopping at the Galleria, River Oaks District and Highland Village. He says there are great restaurants for dining out. When asked which ones he recommends, here's what he said: 

"There are so many! J Alexanders, Urbe, Mendocino farms, North Italia, Maggiano's to name a few. There are at least 50 or more good restaurants in the area!"

Our team agrees. "There is such a variety of cuisine options, from casual to formal, in the area. For a tasty breakfast or brunch spot, you can't go wrong with Bloom & Bee, Eloise Nichols, LePeep, or Snooze AM.  Looking to lunch? Check out Flower Child, North Italia, Le Colonial, or J Alexander's. For delicious steak and seafood options, either Maestro's, Steak 48, Morton's Steakhouse, Eddie V's, or Willie G's. Craving something sweet? You can indulge at Crave Cupcakes, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Sweet Paris, or Pinkberry."

As for activities, our team says singles will appreciate the variety of shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and recreation nearby. Living within minutes of Uptown Park, The River Oaks District, Memorial Park, and Houston Polo Club is a plus. 

For families, there are a variety of restaurants and dessert cafes in Uptown Park and recreational activities, including the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center, Memorial Park Baseball and Picnic Area, nearby.

Ed recommends going to Memorial Park. "Memorial Park has great walking trails, tennis, golf etc. The Houston Arboretum is within walking distance and is great as well."

Both Ed and the team agree that Reverie is "a great place to call home if you like the excitement of city living and being close to everything." Come join us and you will see why!

Front Door & Entryway

Make your apartment feel like the holidays before even stepping foot inside by adding a simple wreath to your entryway and front door. Get creative with wide holiday ribbon and turn your door into a giant wrapped gift. Add a few poinsettia plants and voila! – Holiday Season! Decorating your front door and entryway is the easiest way to add holiday cheer to your apartment.

O’ Christmas Tree, O’ Christmas Tree

First thing that comes to mind when thinking of holiday decorations is the Christmas tree. As an apartment owner, the follow up thought might be how you would even fit a tree in your apartment! While the go to idea is to get a mini tree, try out one of these creative tree ideas to conserve space:

Wall Christmas Tree

Taking up wall space only, a wall Christmas tree is great for small apartments and still brings all the holiday cheer. Plus, if decorating the tree is your favorite part about the holidays, this creative DIY project is perfect. Go traditional with garland and lights, or more minimalist with branches and ornaments, there are many ways to get creative with a wall Christmas tree, and no wrong way of doing one.

Christmas Tree in a Vase

Perfect for small spaces, creating a Christmas tree in a vase is easy and budget-friendly, only requiring evergreen clippings, ornaments, and a vase. You can use this tree idea as a centerpiece for your table or decoration for your counters. Wherever you decide to place it, a Christmas tree in a vase will take up minimal space but add the right amount of holiday décor to your apartment.

Light Up Your Plants

You might already have the perfect tree in your apartment now! Try hanging mini, battery-operated lights on your houseplants to serve as your tree this year. If you have large houseplants, hang lightweight mini ornaments on their branches to add more decorations to your space. Using your houseplants as a tree alternative is a super cute and cost-effective way to decorate your apartment this year.

Deck the Walls, Halls, Shelves & Windows

When it comes to small spaces, walls, halls, shelves, and windows are blank canvases waiting to be filled with holiday decorations. One easy way to transform your apartment for the holiday season is lights, lights, and more lights! String up twinkle lights in your hallways or windows to instantly add the holiday spirit in your home. Great thing about hanging lights is that they aren’t taking up any additional space!

Spruce up the shelves in your River Oaks apartment with holiday cards and a few small bottlebrush trees for a quick and easy holiday décor look. Hang mistletoe in the door frames paired with holiday garland for another holly jolly idea. Windows are great for decorating by hanging ornaments, snowflakes, and garland too. There is no limit to what you can do with the white spaces in your apartment, get as festive and creative as you want!

Hanging Stockings

No mantel or fireplace? No problem! From shelves, bookcases, or chairs, your apartment is filled with great places to put your stockings on display. Hang your stockings on shelves or bookcases by using holiday heavyweight stocking holders or string the stockings on garland to hang on a wall. To showcase your stockings on the back of your bar stools or dining room chairs, use a holiday ribbon to tie them up.

If you have a standing or wall coat rack, use it to display your stockings as well as other décor items, like scarves or mini wreaths to add a unique holiday design in your apartment. There is no wrong way to hang a stocking for Christmas, so be sure to be as inventive as you like!

Balcony & Patio Décor

Again, not living in a house does not mean you can’t transform your outdoor space into a winter wonderland. Your apartment’s patio or balcony has great potential to creating a very festive area for the season. If space allows, put your Christmas tree outside this year and make sure to take advantage of the railing to hang icicle lights and a series of outdoor wreaths.

Go all out and string lights around the windows and door frames, add glowing candy canes, and a jolly snowman or Santa. Decorating your patio or balcony not only brings the holiday spirit to your apartment but to your neighbors too.

Other Small Touches to Add Holiday Cheer

While hanging lights, stockings, and ornaments are the most popular ways to decorate for the holidays, there are still plenty of ways to add subtle holiday touches to your apartment. Bring the Christmas joy to every room by a decorative holiday-scented candle or mini wreath to hang on the walls or cabinets.

Switch out your everyday pillowcases for more decorative covers in theme with the holiday! Add a plaid throw to your couch or comforter on your bed. Place poinsettias throughout your apartment as an easy and cost-effective way to add a small Christmas touch. Use extra counter space to create a DIY hot cocoa station that will surely impress your holiday guests. Adding small holiday décor to your apartment can go a long way to improve the holiday spirit in your home.

While the luxury amenities of Reverie at River Hollow apartments make it easy to fill your free time at home, we know it's also fun to go outside our community and do something different. If you are looking for things to do in Uptown Houston, you'll find a few ideas here. 

Watch a Movie at Rooftop Cinema Club

With the Rooftop Cinema Club Uptown reopening and tickets now on sale, we will add it first on the list of fun things to do. Located on the rooftop of BLVD Place at 1700 Post Oak Blvd., minutes from Reverie apartments, this popular open-air rooftop movie venue, which temporarily closed last year, provides a cinematic experience under the stars with food, drinks, and amazing views. If you’re a movie fan and appreciate being outdoors, you will love it!

Shopping at The Galleria & Uptown Park

If you recently relocated to Houston and haven't had a chance to check out The Galleria, make plans to do so. An international shopping and tourist destination, The Galleria houses hundreds of upscale stores, about 60 eateries ranging from fine dining to casual favorites, a children's play area that would get any kid excited, a full-sized ice rink, and more. You could easily spend days exploring all The Galleria's offerings. 

While The Galleria is only 1.5 miles from our apartments, the trendy Uptown Park is even closer. Strolling  through the high-end, open-air shopping center you'll find distinctive boutiques, eateries, wine bars and more. You can also catch events including trunk shows and live music at Uptown Park. 

Experience the Waterwall

Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park in Uptown, one of the city's most visited attractions, features a mesmerizing multi-story sculptural fountain you must see, if you haven't already. The serene sound of the water falling is a calming experience, especially at times when the park is not crowded, and the Waterwall makes a beautiful background for photos. While you're not allowed to get in the water, if you stand close enough you can feel the mist and could even get soaked.

Visit Memorial Park

For outdoor recreation, the nearby Memorial Park, the state's largest urban park, offers a variety of activities ranging from walking, running, hiking, and biking to playing tennis, volleyball, and croquet. There's an 18-hole golf course, considered one of the country's best municipal courses, and an indoor fitness center with swimming pool. If you want to go for a picnic, you'll find tables throughout the park. Before visiting, view helpful information about things to do at Memorial Park, including any updates and closures, provided by the Memorial Park Conservancy.
