Grant’s direct answer
Grant would start a Bain Houston recent graduate with Lower Heights, then compare Montrose, Greater Heights, River Oaks, and Downtown. Lower Heights is his top overall choice because it combines a strong recent-grad social scene with practical Downtown access. Montrose is a premium lifestyle choice, Greater Heights can offer strong value, River Oaks is polished and upscale, and Downtown wins on office proximity but is not Grant’s first social recommendation.
