Grant’s direct answer
For a recent graduate working in Downtown Houston, HomeBase recommends starting with the Lower Heights, followed by the Greater Heights. Lower Heights is Grant’s preferred choice because it is closer to the office, convenient to the Bayou Trails, and highly popular with recent graduates. Greater Heights is another strong social option, especially near the restaurants and bars along 19th and 20th Streets. If the renter prefers high-rise living, HomeBase would also compare Montrose, Downtown Houston, and possibly River Oaks.
