How far are your homes from Texas Children's Hospital?

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.

Is this actually cheaper than a hotel?

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.

Can we book for less than 30 nights?

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.

What happens if the discharge date moves?

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.

Can siblings and grandparents stay too?

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.

What is included in the monthly rate?

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.

Will insurance or a charity cover this?

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.

How quickly can we move in?

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.

Do you have anything within walking distance of the hospital?

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.

What Texas Medical Center housing means

The Texas Medical Center is not a specific hospital. It is a district of more than fifty institutions covering over a thousand acres just south west of downtown Houston, and it treats more people in a year than most cities see in a decade.

If you have been told to come to the Texas Medical Center, the first useful question is which hospital or institution, and which campus.

The second question is how long. A few nights and a hotel is genuinely the better answer. Once the stay runs past a month, you are missing a kitchen and in-home laundry.

Texas Medical Center housing booked by the month gives you a private home experience, full kitchen and in-home laundry, and bedrooms for family, caregivers and guests who visit you.

What a stay near Texas Medical Center's Hospitals includes

Somewhere you can call home

Variety of options from Two bedroom apartments to five bedroom houses with outdoor space/backyards. Multiple bedrooms for family, a yard and a home away from home away from the hospital

A full kitchen and in-home laundry

Prepare home cooked meals, and wash clothes at eleven at night without hunting for a laundry room. Both matter more than anything else on a long stay.

Guests who stayed with Luxarway for the Texas Medical Center

Four families who stayed with Luxurway, in their own words.

We highly recommend Luxurway! The house was fantastic and host highly professional and responsive. Our house (Venetia Grove) was in a beautiful neighborhood with tree-lined streets. A quick 15 minutes door to door to the TX Medical Center.

Christina, stayed at Venetia Grove

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!

Susan, stayed at Casa Paise

The Chateau Gold was the perfect home away from home. Spacious, renovated, fully equipped. Everything was ready for our arrival and Limor was a pleasure to communicate with anytime we had a question. Located super closeby to the hospital in the TMC.

Lee, stayed at Chateau Gold

Amazing Hosts! Everything was perfect they even sent us an extra Toaster right away. I love to rent with them because it is safe it's clean and all their places are amazing. We have been renting since 2019 and will continue to do so love the Bellair area and Medical Center its very convenient for the location.

Maria, stayed at Venetia Grove

Questions TMC guests ask

More than fifty institutions, including MD Anderson, Texas Children's, Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann, Baylor College of Medicine, TIRR and Shriners. They sit in one district but not in one building, so check your appointment letter for the building name rather than just the street.
Between roughly one and six miles, and it varies more by neighborhood than by property. Everything is a drive rather than a walk, and parking at the home is in the rate. Name the institution and we will tell you which house is nearest it.
No. Thirty nights is the minimum across every property. For a shorter stay a hotel near the Medical Center is genuinely the better answer, and we will say so.
You extend at the same rate and you get first refusal on the property you are already in. This is the most common thing that happens here. One guest extended four separate times as appointments moved.
Inquire with your pet information to get details and approval.
Over 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 and includes utilities, Wi-Fi and parking, and the real saving comes from having a kitchen and a washing machine.
Often, yes. Insurance placements and employer-funded stays both work, but the paperwork differs, so raise it in your first message rather than after you have chosen a house.
Yes. Fellows, locums, travelling clinicians and researchers use the same homes on the same monthly terms. It avoids signing a year-long lease for a rotation that runs six months.
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.
