"Lined with 1920s bungalows and shaded by live oak trees, our surrounding streets are integral to the Menil aesthetic and experience. Tucked away in a residential enclave of a bustling city, the Menil’s 30 acres—acquired over the course of many decades, extending west from the University of Saint Thomas and the Rothko Chapel--are a source of civic energy and domestic tranquility. Residents as well as museum visitors from other lands have likened the Menil neighborhood to an urban oasis.

Built in the Arts-and-Crafts style, the bungalows along Sul Ross and Branard streets serve as museum offices as well as private residences; some house fellow arts organizations. Nearly all of them are painted the same shade of gray as the museum, lending a somewhat surreal quality to the streetscape."

This neighborhood also includes other Menil owned properties such as the Richmont Square Apartments and the Menil Collection Dan Flavin Installation.

The outline of the neighborhood follows the boundaries of the district approved by the city of Houston to "pave less" or provide less parking per square feet.
