Altair Residences brings a little French Quarter to southeast Houston: three-story brick buildings, mansard roofs with dormers, wrought-iron balconies and a pool tucked into the courtyard.
Named for one of the brightest stars in the night sky, Altair sits right between Hobby Airport and the Gulf Freeway, so downtown, the University of Houston, the Texas Medical Center and NASA's Johnson Space Center are all an easy drive.
