Do you have any advice for someone searching for apartments in highly walkable areas of Houston?

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.
