OMG. Houston is awesome. Go online and look at houses. With the price of homes so low you would be better off buying if you can. You will end up with almost a mansion. Usually they come with a pool. The homes in H town cost so little and you get so much. If you must rent then use this linkhttp://houston.apartments.com/pick a place near your job. The traffic in Houston can be impossible. You can be literally parked on the freeway for hours. I lived in 4 worked in 2. that drive was nuts and there was no way around it.without knowing what area you will be in it is hard to give you more detail. Houston is huge.
You aren t going to find much for $700 a month in a good neighborhood unless you go for some place small (i.e., one bedroom).The going rate for condos in my former property was $850 for a one bedroom with studio (like a small two bedroom). I used to live in the Memorial Bend area before moving a bit westward. Great area, though, and convenient to I-10 and the tollway (and shopping with Town and Country and Memorial City both less than two miles away).
Ok a price for 700.00 dollars nine out of ten it will be in the damn hood, and whoever said pearland need to be kick it s not that GRAND neither with their 1100 dollar rent, sweetheart i am not sure why you moving to houston but if it s not for a job I wouldn t come because a year later you will regret it Houston Sucks, I am from France and I will going back home next year now I ve visited Colorado and Colorado is nice
As previously stated, Houston is huge (600 sq. miles). The further out from Downtown you go, the less expensive it gets but you do have to take your drive time gas into consideration. If you have a job lined up, look around that area or let us know we can help. Basically, if the neighborhood has the word Ward in it avoid it. There are other bad parts of town but if you could narrow down the area where you will be working we can tell you about good neighborhoods in that area.This is the best Houston site for house apartment hunting;http://www/har.com
Pearland is cool...
