About For a Place to Live
For A Place To Live is a trusted housing provider based in Houston, Texas, dedicated to creating comfortable and inclusive living environments for students, professionals, and families. We believe housing should be simple, transparent, and worry-free — which is why all utilities, maintenance, and amenities are included in one affordable price.
Since our founding, we’ve proudly partnered with leading institutions such as Texas Southern University, the University of Houston, the University of St. Thomas, Rice University, and Houston Community College. We also partner with respected agencies and community organizations — including Houston Housing Authority (HHA), Career and Recovery Resources, Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County (CFTH), and SEARCH Homeless — to provide residents with safe, reliable housing and comprehensive support for a variety of needs.
Whether you’re pursuing your degree, advancing your career, or simply looking for a great place to live, we provide the space—and support—you need to feel right at home.

I could secure my housing remotely; view the apartment, submit lease application, pay the deposit, and sign the lease agreement, all were done online, move-in day was a breeze.

Close proximity to campus makes it almost living in university housing for the students. In regards to how clean, spacious and private they are, always exceed expectation.

For A Place To Live was one the best decisions I made for housing. Rent is affordable for students especially my one bedroom which is awesome. I love how Jamil and his staff are dedicated to keep smiles on our faces.
