re: Good sections of Houston?

There must not be a lot then. I used the Zillow app (which I realize isn't going to have everything) and legitimately couldn't find much. I have a newborn, a full size lab, and am used to having my own house, so i wasn't looking for an 1100 sq ft apt. But i still don't see many apartments over 1 bedroom for the price you're paying.

I swear I saw you saying you make like 30k now in a recent thread. Your salary is getting doubled? Are you just graduating or something?

Not to get too far into things, but with a reorganization it was deemed I was a little more valuable Plus if I do decide I want to do the Houston thing, there is a living expense.

By the way, thanks for everyone for responding to this thread! It should help considerably.

I am. Doing my thesis for a company in Houston.

Nah. Have to drive back 2 days a week for 2 classes. Not excited about that, but it's just for this one semester.

I'm not involved with sales tax anymore, my main taxes will actually be closer if I scoot to Texas.

Chinhoyang, I remember that accident. If memory serves me correct, she had taken the kids to pick him up from the airport one night. Driver of the truck took a ramp with way too much speed causing his load to shift and topple the truck onto the family's SUV. Sorry for your loss, no matter how long ago.

For your profile, you can start with a decent place in either Energy Cooridor or Stafford. Both are less expensive than the main suburbs of Katy & Sugarland, and both are safe.

Once you've laid roots and have the want to buy a house, then the Heights, Montrose, Inner Loop area is the best for up and coming singles. If you plan to work downtown, paying the premium for a Washington or Midtown appt will save you alot in parking and commuting.

Kirby, Memorial, Allen Parkway, Riveroaks, Bellaire etc are all for richer folks who buy big homes... not alot of start up space in those areas, unless you look hard.
