search on foot or try to work with a locator if you want decent pricing

Feeling safe is most important. I was looking for a quiet uncongested area.

Rent private own. Stay away from corporations.

Stay in the Montrose, galleria or Heights area.

Make sure you look at the reviews, before renting

Don’t come to Houston or live downtown if you want something highly walkable.

There’s different places where you can live without feeling the need to go with hype and living downtown Houston area.

Research the area to see if that’s a location that you’d like to live in.

Top rated for Location
“Management and maintenance team are very responsive. No trouble from neighbors. Location is excellent. Something about the layouts though are a bit off. The maintenance to the general property is not very detailed. Over time certain things are left a little dirty or damaged that make the property seem less luxurious than advertised. Occasional loud construction from the buildings. To me better value than other Hanover high rise buildings, but certain details leave room for improvement at luxury price”
