The Brighton Garden Oaks

Opened in 2023 as Modera Garden Oaks and now operating as The Brighton Garden Oaks, this five-story building stands on W Crosstimbers Street where Garden Oaks meets Independence Heights. RPM Living manages it. One- and two-bedroom homes range from about 563 to 1,472 square feet, with several den layouts and some ground-floor units that have private yards or patios.

The amenity list leans toward people who work from home at least part of the week: coworking space with a podcasting room, a theater room, a catering kitchen, a fitness studio and a fire pit courtyard, alongside a pool with a sun ledge and a pet spa with dog park. The building is entirely smoke-free, homes have 10-foot ceilings and quartz counters, and EV charging is available on site.

N Shepherd and Yale are both close, giving quick access to the Heights restaurant corridor, and the 610 North Loop and I-45 are minutes away for Downtown or Galleria trips.
