Grant’s direct answer
HomeBase should ask for the exact office, number of in-office days, comfortable all-in housing budget, high-rise preference, car ownership, importance of walkability, need for groceries and errands on foot, interest in Katy Trail, preference for nightlife versus a calmer neighborhood, and which actual apartment offers the strongest unit, management, concession, and location. Those answers often reveal the winner. Knox is strongest for a complete walkable neighborhood experience, West Village for concentrated activity and trolley access, and Victory Park for newer high-rise living and central entertainment.
