Houses for Rent in Northwest Houston

A House of Your Own, With No Shared Walls

Each home at Mirella is detached, so there's no one above, below, or on the other side of your bedroom wall. Here's what comes with every home:

• A private fenced yard: Let the dog out in the morning, or sit outside after dinner. Front and backyard landscaping is taken care of for you.
• An attached garage: Park out of the Houston sun and rain, and carry groceries straight inside.
• An open kitchen: Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a tile backsplash.
• An in-home washer and dryer: No shared laundry room and no quarters.
• Smart home features and wood-style flooring throughout.
• Internet included: The router is already installed. You just activate your service on move-in day.

Rental Homes in Tomball ISD

If you have kids, the school district may matter more than anything else on your list. It's also one of the best reasons to look at Mirella. Our homes are in Tomball ISD, which earned an A from the Texas Education Agency in 2025, its sixth A in a row. Its score of 92 was the highest of any large district in Texas (20,000+ students), and all three of its high schools earned straight A's (Tomball ISD).

The school run is short, too. Oakcrest Intermediate is right around the corner, and Wildwood Elementary and Tomball Memorial High School are both less than a mile away. If you need daycare or preschool, The Learning Experience and Kiddie Academy of Northpointe are just down the road.

As your kids get older, Tomball ISD gives them room to get ahead. At Tomball Star Academy, an early college high school run with Lone Star College-Tomball, students can earn up to 60 college credit hours and an associate degree before they finish high school.

School assignments depend on your exact address, so check your home's campuses with Tomball ISD before you sign a lease. You can read more in our guide to Tomball ISD schools near Mirella.

Renting at Mirella vs. Renting From a Private Owner

Many houses for rent in Northwest Houston belong to individual owners, so the experience depends on who manages them. At Mirella, you get:

• One on-site team for leasing and maintenance
• Online work orders through the resident portal
• Yard care included, so you don't need a mower
• A new home instead of a house that has had many past tenants
• A pet-friendly policy that welcomes cats and dogs, up to two per home. Read our pet policy.
