Grant’s direct answer
Grant would start a JPMorgan Chase Houston recent graduate with Lower Heights, then compare Greater Heights, Montrose, River Oaks, and Downtown. Lower Heights is his first choice for its combination of social life, newer apartments, Washington Avenue activity, and practical Downtown access. Downtown minimizes the commute, but Grant generally prefers the Heights areas for a newcomer who wants a stronger recent-grad social environment.
