Texas Children's Hospital Lodging in Houston
Furnished homes and apartments a short drive from Texas Children's Hospital, for families staying 30 nights or longer. Utilities, Wi-Fi and parking are included in one monthly figure, and you extend at the same rate when the schedule changes.
What lodging near the hospital actually means
Most families searching for somewhere to stay near Texas Children's Hospital start by typing the word hotel, because that is the word everyone uses. Then the stay turns out to be six weeks rather than four nights, and the arithmetic changes completely. A hotel room bills nightly, has no kitchen, no washing machine, and no second bedroom for the child who is not sick. Texas Children's Hospital lodging booked by the month solves all four at once, and usually costs less per night over the same period.
Luxurway rents furnished houses and apartments near the Texas Medical Center on a 30 night minimum. You get the whole property, a kitchen you can cook in at any hour, laundry inside the home, and enough bedrooms that siblings and grandparents are not sleeping on a folding bed. Rates include electricity, gas, water, Wi-Fi, TV, parking and lawn care, so there is one number to budget against while everything else is uncertain. Families here regularly extend more than once, and the rate does not move when they do.
What a stay near Texas Children's Hospital includes
Somewhere the other children can be children
Two bedroom apartments through to five bedroom houses with gardens. Siblings get their own room, a yard and a normal bedtime while one parent is at the hospital.
Room for the whole familyA kitchen and a washing machine
Cook the food your child will actually eat, and wash clothes at eleven at night without hunting for a laundry room. Both matter more than anything else on a long stay.

Find the right home for your family's stay
No two families arrive in the same situation. Some come for one long admission, some for months of appointments, some with three other children and a grandparent in tow. Luxurway rents furnished homes near the Texas Medical Center for stays of 30 nights or longer.

Families who stayed through treatment
Two families who booked around a child's appointments and extended more than once, in their own words.
I came here with my husband and youngest daughter so she could be treated at MD Anderson. We rented the place for a few months and been extending it every other month depending on my daughter's appointments. Luxuryway has been amazing, understanding, in this hard time me and my family are going thru. The neighborhood is calm and really good and we are just 15 min from the hospital. Would recommend them to anyone.
Luxurway was perfect for our needs when we stayed in Houston for over two months for healthcare reasons! The home we rented was clean, well-stocked, just a few minutes from Texas Medical center, and in a safe & comfortable neighborhood! Best of all, our two dogs were able to stay with us! Luxurway was so easy to work with when we had to extend our stay four separate times, sometimes almost at the last minute due to changing medical appointment schedules.
Booking takes four steps
Written for families who are organising this from a hospital corridor
- Send your dates Tell us the admission or appointment date, roughly how long you expect to be here and how many of you are coming. We answer the same day with what is open.
- Choose the home Compare the homes that fit your dates, your budget and how many bedrooms you need once siblings and relatives are counted.
- Reserve and move in Complete the reservation and move in. The utilities are already on and the kitchen, beds and Wi-Fi are ready, which matters when you land late the night before an admission.
- Extend when the schedule moves Discharge dates slip and appointment schedules change. You get first choice to extend at the same rate, and families here regularly extend several times.
Questions families ask
-
Between roughly one and six miles, depending on the property. All are a drive rather than a walk, with parking at the home and parking at the hospital. Tell us which building you will be attending and we will tell you honestly which house is closest.
-
Over a stay of 30 nights or longer, almost always. Hotels bill nightly at a rate that does not drop, and add parking on top. Our rate is monthly, includes utilities, Wi-Fi and parking, and gives you a kitchen and a washing machine, which is where most of the real saving comes from on a long stay.
-
No. Thirty nights is the minimum across every property. If your stay will be shorter than that, a hotel near the Medical Center genuinely is the better answer and we will say so.
-
You extend, at the same rate, and you get first refusal on the property. This is the single most common thing that happens here. One family extended four separate times, twice at a day's notice, because the appointment schedule kept changing.
-
Yes, and most of the houses are chosen for exactly that. Four and five bedroom houses mean the other children have their own rooms and a garden, and a relative can fly in and take a shift without anyone sleeping on a sofa.
-
Several properties do, including houses with fenced gardens. Tell us what you are bringing when you enquire and we will only show you homes that allow it. A stay this long is too long to put a family dog into boarding.
-
Electricity, gas, water, Wi-Fi, TV, parking, lawn care and pool maintenance where there is a pool. The home is furnished, with kitchenware, bedding, towels, and a washer and dryer inside. There is no booking fee and no third-party platform taking a cut.
-
Sometimes. Some families are placed here under an insurance policy, and some arrange support through a charity or a hospital social worker. We can invoice a third party directly if that is how it is being paid. Ask your care team what is available to you, and ask us for whatever paperwork they need.
-
The homes are furnished with utilities already running, so the limit is paperwork rather than preparation. Tell us the date and we will tell you the same day what is open. Families have moved in within 48 hours when an admission was brought forward.
-
No. Anyone advertising a furnished house within walking distance of Texas Children's is stretching the word. Our closest properties are in the Medical Center area, a few minutes by car. If walking distance is genuinely essential, the hospital's own accommodation services team is the right place to ask.
