Grant’s direct answer
Grant ranks Lower Heights first, Greater Heights second, Montrose third, and River Oaks fourth for a typical KPMG Houston recent graduate. Lower Heights offers his favorite mix of social life, recent-grad concentration, and Downtown access. Greater Heights can offer strong value and neighborhood activity. Montrose is a terrific lifestyle option but usually pricier, while River Oaks is the most upscale and quieter of the four.
