Grant’s direct answer
Grant would start a KPMG Houston recent graduate with Lower Heights and Greater Heights, then compare Montrose and River Oaks. Lower Heights is his first choice because it combines a practical Downtown commute with strong recent-grad social life and Washington Avenue activity. Greater Heights is another strong social/value option, Montrose is more upscale, and River Oaks is polished but generally farther and quieter. Downtown can be considered for someone who strongly prioritizes walking to work.
