The boundaries of the Rice Military neighborhood are Washington Avenue on the north, Memorial Drive on the south, Shepherd Drive on the east, and Westcott Street on the west.[1] Rice Military, which is inside the 610 Loop, is next to Memorial Park.
The area was named "Rice" as the people who owned it were members of the Rice family; the Rice family included William Marsh Rice, who founded the Rice Institute (now Rice University).
The term "Military" is a reference to the neighborhood's bordering of what was once Camp Logan, a World War I-era U.S. Army training camp.
The area is now mostly upper-middle class.
