Marquee Uptown Apartments: Boutique Living in Houston’s Premier Galleria District

Rise Apartments is excited to walk renters through Marquee Uptown, a small, award-recognized apartment community located at 2306 McCue Rd #123 in Houston’s prestigious Uptown/Galleria area. This property stands out immediately for its intimate scale, refined renovations, and unbeatable walkability. Just one block from The Galleria and Post Oak Boulevard, Marquee Uptown places residents at the center of Houston’s most dynamic shopping, dining, and business corridor while still maintaining a calm, residential feel.

Unlike large high-rise developments, Marquee Uptown offers boutique-style living with a limited number of apartment homes. This smaller footprint creates a quieter environment where residents are known by name and service feels personal. The community has earned exceptional resident feedback over the years, and it shows the moment renters arrive at the gated entrance and step into the lush, garden-inspired setting.

First Impressions: Renovated Charm Meets Modern Comfort

As Rise Apartments tours Marquee Uptown with prospective renters, the first thing that stands out is how seamlessly the property blends classic architecture with modern updates. The community underwent a thoughtful renovation that preserved its vintage charm while introducing contemporary finishes, upgraded lighting, and functional design improvements throughout.

Tropical landscaping, garden courtyards, and walking paths create a tranquil atmosphere that feels far removed from the busy streets just outside the gates. Residents enjoy a sense of retreat without sacrificing location, which is a rare balance in the Galleria area.

Resort-Style Amenities Designed for Everyday Living

Marquee Uptown offers amenities that enhance daily routines rather than overwhelm residents with unnecessary extras. At the center of the community is a luxurious saltwater swimming pool surrounded by cabana seating, lounge areas, and Wi-Fi access. The pool cabana includes a coffee and espresso setup, making it a popular spot for both relaxing and remote work.

Apartment Interiors That Prioritize Space and Function

Inside the apartment homes, Rise Apartments highlights layouts that feel well thought out and livable. One- and two-bedroom floor plans range from approximately $1,295 to $1,785 per month, making Marquee Uptown a competitive option for Uptown Houston. Many homes feature townhouse-style designs with front and back entrances, enclosed patios, balconies, or porches.

Kitchens are a standout feature, offering granite countertops, stainless steel double sinks, high-arc faucets, island or eat-in layouts, and built-in granite desks or vanities that work well for home offices. Select units include raised ovens, pantries, breakfast nooks, and modern appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves, and ice makers.

Comfort-Focused Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Bedrooms at Marquee Uptown are designed with comfort and storage in mind. Renters will notice oversized bedrooms, huge walk-in closets, linen closets, and thoughtfully placed windows that bring in natural light. Some homes include fireplaces, bay windows, and floating staircases that add architectural interest.

Bathrooms offer vessel sinks in select units, framed mirrors, double vanities, and tub/shower combinations. These details elevate everyday routines and reinforce the property’s focus on livable luxury rather than flashy design.

Location Benefits: Walk Everywhere from Uptown

One of the strongest selling points Rise Apartments emphasizes is Marquee Uptown’s location. Being just one block from The Galleria Mall and Post Oak Boulevard means residents can walk to Whole Foods Market, high-end retailers, casual cafes, fine dining, and major employers.

Public transportation access and proximity to major roadways make commuting simple, whether heading downtown, to the Energy Corridor, or anywhere else in Houston. For renters who want an active, walkable lifestyle without sacrificing peace and privacy, this location checks all the boxes.

Pet-Friendly and Resident-Focused Living

Marquee Uptown welcomes pets, making it a solid choice for renters with furry companions. While breed restrictions and fees may apply, the garden paths and nearby walkable areas make daily pet routines easy and enjoyable.

The owner-managed approach is another highlight. Residents frequently praise the warm, welcoming staff and responsive on-site maintenance team. This level of attentiveness is often missing in larger communities, and it plays a major role in resident satisfaction.

Virtual Touring and Move-In Opportunities

For renters who prefer to explore from home first, Marquee Uptown offers Matterport 3D tours that allow viewers to walk through multiple floor plans virtually. This makes it easier to visualize layouts, finishes, and room sizes before scheduling an in-person tour.

Move-in specials are periodically available for qualified applicants, with current pricing starting around $1,295 per month. Utilities are not included, so residents should plan to set up services independently.
