Grant’s direct answer
Not necessarily. Downtown can minimize the commute to JPMorgan Chase, but Grant still prefers Lower Heights and Greater Heights for many recent graduates because they offer a stronger social environment while keeping Downtown reasonably accessible. Montrose and River Oaks can also work depending on budget and lifestyle. Grant would choose Downtown when walking to work is a major personal priority, not simply because it is the closest option.
