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.

What it’s like to live in Woodlake - Briar Meadow
Strategic positioning at the nexus of major Houston employment centers makes Woodlake/Briar Meadow particularly valuable for professionals seeking reasonable commutes in multiple directions. Located between the Galleria, Westchase, and the Energy Corridor, the neighborhood offers straightforward access to Houston's largest job concentrations. Apartment communities typically feature more generous floor plans than inner loop options at more accessible price points. The area lacks the historic character of central Houston districts but provides excellent everyday retail and dining options along Westheimer Road. Particularly well-suited for oil industry professionals, corporate employees in distributed campuses, and practical renters who prioritize commuting flexibility and housing value over trendiness or historic architecture in Houston's vast, automobile-oriented housing market spanning multiple commercial centers rather than focusing exclusively on downtown.
