Lower Heights, Montrose, Greater Heights, River Oaks, or Downtown: which is best for a Bain Houston new hire?

Quick answer

Grant ranks Lower Heights first for most Bain Houston recent grads, followed by Montrose, Greater Heights, River Oaks, and Downtown. Lower Heights gives the strongest blend of recent-grad social life and convenient access to Downtown. Montrose offers an upscale, active lifestyle, Greater Heights can be a strong value choice, River Oaks is refined and quieter, and Downtown is best for someone who puts the shortest office commute above social concentration.
