Grant’s direct answer
Grant ranks Lower Heights first because, in his firsthand experience, it gives a recent graduate one of the strongest combinations of Downtown access, newer apartment options, Washington Avenue nightlife, and a meaningful concentration of other young professionals. It lets a JPMorgan Chase employee keep a practical commute without giving up the social environment that can make moving to Houston alone much easier.
