Mezzo Kirby Med Center (formerly Millennium Kirby)

Known as Millennium Kirby when it opened, Mezzo Kirby Med Center is a five-story mid-rise with a structured parking garage on Kirby Drive, at the point where the Texas Medical Center gives way to the Braeswood and Rice Village side of the loop. Greystar manages it. Units run from studios to three bedrooms with nine- to ten-foot ceilings, quartz counters, glass-front cabinetry and private balconies.

The amenity deck holds a pool with cabanas and a poolside aqua lounge; indoors there is a fitness center, a sky lounge with conference room, and an internet café. The garage includes electric-vehicle charging and bike racks, and the community is smoke-free with controlled access.

Kirby Drive gives direct north-south access to the med center, Rice Village and the 610 Loop, and walk and bike scores here are high for the area — most errands and a fair share of med center commutes are doable on foot or by bicycle.
