ZIP 77002: Downtown Houston, Theater District and Historic District (Market Square)

77002 covers most of downtown Houston, from the Theater District and Market Square to the Warehouse District along Buffalo Bayou, plus part of Midtown along Main Street. Housing is mostly high-rise condominiums and apartment towers, lofts in converted early-1900s buildings and Midtown townhomes. METRORail's main lines, the downtown pedestrian tunnel system, Daikin Park and the Theater District's performance halls define the area.
