Neighborhood Safety
Our Nest Homes are located within the highly sought-after neighborhoods of Southampton/Boulevard Oaks and Southgate/Morningside Place (two of the safest neighborhoods for off-campus Rice Students). To increase safety and security, these neighborhoods maintain their own private police patrols (RACS and SBPS). These patrols are manned by Houston Police and Harris County peace officers who keep a 24-hour / 365-day watch – protecting the Southampton and Southgate neighborhoods (the areas bounded east-west between Kirby and Main and north-south between Bissonnet and Holcombe). The Southampton/Boulevard Oaks Patrol can be reached at 713-825-5555.
