Neighborhood Safety
Rice University is a wonderful school that is located within a very large city. Large cities tend to have higher crime rates, and Houston is no exception. Crime maps show the areas that are relatively better or worse from a crime perspective. We believe that safety and security should be a top priority when choosing where to live off-campus.
The Nest on Sunset is located within the highly sought-after neighborhood of Boulevard Oaks (the best neighborhood for off-campus Rice Students). To increase the security of the neighborhood, Boulevard Oaks maintains a private police patrol. The patrol is manned by Houston Police and Harris County peace officers who keep keep a 24-hour / 365-day watch, protecting approximately 2,500 residences. The patrol can be reached at 713-825-5555.
